WHY

My core values


I’ve spent the past fifteen years deepening my understanding of people and human diversity thanks to a variety of experiences abroad, both professional and personal. This is where the desire to build my coaching career was born. My goal as a coach is to help individuals find personal growth and development. I consider this to be my next step forward, the point where my multifaceted professional life comes full circle.

After completing my PhD in Industrial Chemistry, I worked at an SME in the chemical sector, supporting the company in their expansion into foreign markets. This role allowed me to collaborate with professionals from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures. I spent the next seven years as an expat living across three different continents (North America, Australia, and Asia). This period led me to a fundamental realization: the need to combine all of my prior academic and professional experience with my acute interest in people and different cultures into a project that would support the complete self-actualization of those who decide to put their trust in me.

In every phase of my professional and personal life, my guiding principles have been the awareness of the people around me, the desire to understand them, and the joy of witnessing them enthusiastically take the initiative and embark on new paths. Becoming a coach was therefore the natural evolution of my experiences, moving me towards an profoundly gratifying goal

HOW

Empathy and creating awareness through transitions.


The defining characteristic of my style is the creation of a safe space. By listening without judgment, the coachee feels at ease and is able to fully engage in self-reflection, bringing forth new realizations about the self, new intuitions, and new perspectives. In this way, the coachee feels free to explore fulfilling paths and solutions in both the professional and personal realms.

This is also combined with organizational ability, resilience, a sense of responsibility, and a natural proclivity for multicultural relations.


I will accompany you through the crucial moments of transition in your life with unabated empathy, enthusiasm, and understanding of your needs, giving you the attention you deserve whether you’re facing a chapter that is closing or a new one that is opening, or find yourself in complex and challenging situations.

PERSONAL

YOU and YOUR priorities.


How many times have you found yourself at a crossroads, or even worse, a dead end, without knowing or sensing how to get out of it? This circumstance can arise in many aspects of one’s personal life: in the family, in relationships, in making decisions, in having to accept unpleasant situations, and in understanding how to find the winning strategy for all of the above.

It’s helpful to be given the opportunity to analyze situations from different points of view, changing or even overturning your perspective and thus generating new ideas and solutions that were difficult to bring to light before. My objective is to help you tap into a different kind of awareness that allows you to deeply reflect and be conscious of the resources at your disposal, especially those that are “hidden”, so that you can make carefully meditated choices.

PROFESSIONAL

YOUR work, YOUR TEAM, YOUR projects.


Whether you are an entrepreneur, manager, startup founder, a self-employed professional, or have decided to embark on a new career path, I can guide you along a targeted course. This can be based on the specific themes or difficulties that you’re facing, the decisions you have to make, or the discomfort of finding yourself not in line with company strategies. Changing one’s point of view to overcome an obstacle can help both you and your company obtain novel results by identifying innovative strategies.

If your team is experiencing difficulty with interpersonal relationships, organizational issues, or conflicts that make establishing goals and getting the desired results challenging, I can help you understand your team’s human and professional dynamics in order to improve relations and goal orientation through team coaching.

EXPAT

Reinventing oneself with awareness, capitalizing on what counts.


Among all the various changes and transformations that we can encounter throughout our lives, relocations carry the most implications. Changing city or country forces you to rebuild your life with new rhythms, habits, and contacts, and so sometimes you may have to let go of something you loved that had left a mark on your life. In essence, you’re compelled to find a new path and new goals.

I promise to be by your side during this phase with a coaching path that aims to confront this life-changing step, allowing you to turn the page on your previous experience by fully understanding its value. From here, you will be able to face this new adventure with even more enthusiasm and security, discover new goals, comprehend and identify how to fully take advantage of what your new country or return to your home country can offer you.
