Pete Jordan

In 2015, I nervously and reluctantly attended my first Radical Honesty workshop, which blew my mind. From there, I eagerly took part in dozens more workshops and transformed my life for the better by committing to live honestly, by expressing my resentments and appreciations in the moment and by asking for what I want.

About Me

I was born and raised in San Francisco and spent 12 years traveling around the U.S. in a quest to work dishwashing jobs in all 50 American states, which I documented in my book Dishwasher.

A major breakthrough for me was having honest talks with my ex-partners and family members. I have broken the traditions of my childhood family and began to talk about things I was too afraid and embarrassed to talk about.

I am now the only certified Radical Honesty trainer in the Benelux countries. Working alongside my (romantic and business) partner Tuulia, I organize and co-lead RH workshops around Europe. Workshop participants have told me I have great listening and observing skills. I enjoy continually improving these skills as I support others to live happier, freer lives.

For the past 15 years, I’ve been living in Amsterdam and I still make myself happy each day that I wake up in that city. I’m passionate about urban cycling and for more than a decade, I have routinely contributed my writing and photographs to several Dutch cycling publications.

When I’m not busy organizing or co-leading Radical Honesty workshops, I enjoy spending time with my teenage son and/or meandering around Amsterdam on my bike. I’m currently enrolled in the 3-year Somatic Experiencing program working towards becoming an SE Practitioner.

Nice things People say about me

“Tuulia and Pete are a formidable duo, solid workshop leaders, authentic, talented, respectful and a good laugh, too. After the workshop I feel more confident, a better communicator. I can be true to myself and to others with more ease now. Radical Honesty is in my life all the time since this workshop. The more honest I am with myself the more vibrant I feel.”

“Pete and Tuulia are great Radical Honesty facilitators. Experiencing them facilitate together is a gift. I judge they complete each other with their strengths. I felt accepted and loved and, at the same time, challenged and pushed out of my comfort zone. I’ve grown a lot by this experience. Thank you both.”

”I’ve been able to trust Tuulia and Pete in their experience and training and this has allowed me to express myself in a safe environment. And I respect the way Tuulia and Pete have challenged me each time. The workshops are not easy or comfortable. But that’s when my real shadows are seen and I can start to work with them. The workshops have been a playground for skills I was unable or not allowed to learn as a kid.”

“I really like Pete and Tuulia’s way of leading the workshops and judge that each of them complements the other in a wonderful way – personally, as well as in coaching. I made myself feel safe and supported when being coached by the two of them and I imagine I’ve personally grown a lot throughout their workshops. I have learned a lot about myself and worked through many topics, supported by what I judge to be on-point comments and loving empathy.”
