I am a professional Executive coach, accredited as a Senior Practitioner by the European Mentoring & Coaching Council. My aim is to help visionary leaders and high potential individuals to realise their personal and professional ambitions. I support individuals, who want to have a positive impact within their company or specific field of interest, to develop their identity as resilient and emotionally intelligent leaders. I enable my clients to find innovative solutions to their most complex personal and professional challenges and to envision new opportunities to attain their desired results.
Having studied Philosophy (MA, BA) and Psychology (MSc), my training equips me to think analytically about every situation. I draw extensively from my humanities background, broad professional experience in national and international contexts as well as rigorous scientific training in Positive Psychology.
As a firm believer in growth mindset, my next professional aim is to do a Ph.D. in Positive Psychology in the U.S.A.

In the last 10 years, I have worked as a leadership coach to enhance leadership skills of a variety of clients from high potential individuals to senior managers. I have had the role of a catalyst of change, empowering each client to have a clear vision and mission for their life and business.
I organised and delivered training programs to drive organisational growth, enhance employees’ skills, performance and productivity for small-size companies in Italy. This experience offered me a wide perspective on the different organisational functions and dynamics.
I have used the coaching methodology in the health field with people who have a chronic disease. I have conducted hundreds of coaching hours with people who have a chronic condition, such as cancer survivors, endometriosis, sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis to help them to deal with several changes in different parts of their lives, and to be flexible to adapt to a new situation.
I work as an Executive coach with a leading international company BetterUp, where I support the development of leadership of senior managers and executives across multinational companies in the world. Further, I collaborate, as Mental Fitness Coach, with Cognomie an international company to deliver groundbreaking online coaching service to enhance psychological and emotional wellbeing of individuals.

I am strongly committed to promoting the effectiveness of coaching. I am a member of a research group in the EMCC UK community to enhance the scientific validity of coaching.
Tim Gallwey, The Inner Game of Life
Coaching is the collection of useful strategies to support person’s ongoing development. It helps people access their inner resources, facilitates the discovery of new insights, and imparts new techniques for personal growth. Coaching includes verbal strategies, like asking open-ended questions, and process strategies related to the way you delegate and manage tasks.
Coaching process is based on client’s specific goals and needs. These might be related to professional or personal situation.
The best results occur when the coach and the client build a rapport based on trust and reciprocal commitment to be fully engaged in this process and take the responsibility of their own actions.
Nowadays there’s a lot of uncertainty in the job market, society, and environment due to the global pandemic, climate crisis, and the future direction of human relationships. This leads to emotional instability and high levels of stress. This is the time to enhance resilience and become stronger in the face of challenges and not only to survive but thrive during stressful times. I help my clients to focus on their unique skills, strengths, behaviours that empower them to tackle whatever challenges stand before them, elevate their wellbeing and thrive in every aspect of their life.
The process of coaching helps to understand your own life story and framing yourself as an individual who learns from your unique experiences, to consider new perspectives and to make clearer choices in uncertain circumstances. This gives a stronger sense of personal identity and which are the main points that make you different from other people.
Results of this process:
The main benefit is that resilience and wellbeing increase, and generally, people feel happier and satisfied with their achievements. Everyone can benefit from having a trusted, objective supporter to help them navigate shifting expectations arising from fundamental, continuous change and develop the most effective ways to be successful.
Leadership is not a title. You are a leader by what your actions and behaviours are. You can be a leader by getting yourself involved in professional and personal projects, and helping people around you do better. Those people can be your team, colleagues at work or your family. You can be a leader by contributing to the community in special ways that are meaningful to you and significant for the community.
I help my clients to develop confidence, to adopt effective strategies and increase productivity. You feel optimistic and encouraged to create meaningful and sustainable change in your professional context, society or personal environment. Leadership is a skill that you develop through a process of self-knowledge and practical experience.
The process of coaching can help you:
The best time to start this journey to develop your leadership style is when you are ready to go out of your comfort zone and start to explore new behaviours.
I apply proven coaching practices that result in effective behavioural changes and boost personal wellbeing. My work is based on knowledge of different coaching methodologies, academic research in positive psychology, and a decade of experience working in multicultural contexts and with people from different professional and social backgrounds.
Using well-established Intentional Change Theory of Richard Boyatzis, I support individuals to engage in sustainable, desired change and to develop emotional and social intelligence to enhance abilities and performance.
The first session is free and aimed at getting to know each other. This enables me to explain my coaching style and get a feel for the client’s goals and expectations. Coaching sessions can be conducted in many ways: in person, by telephone, or even via Skype.
I serve my clients all over the world in Italian and in English.
Along with my professional expertise, in every session I bring my deep passion for my job and personal qualities, such as empathy, attentive listening, openness, impartiality, honesty, and curiosity. I am truly inspired by the belief that every human being has their own enormous potential that can emerge through the methodology of coaching.

This reflection stems from the need to recognize the invaluable resources each person can bring to the organization when more emphasis is placed on their character strengths.

During the past few months, everyone is experiencing multiple emotions such as anxiety, stress, loneliness, being overwhelmed, frustration, concern, and confusion. When you experience unpleasant emotions, you go into survival mode and stop thriving. Your immediate response is to fight, flight, or freeze.

I often hear stories of people who are constantly chasing something more in their life. It might be money, power or a new job title. This continuous race seems to be the only way to feel better, satisfied or fulfilled, but at end there is always something missing or a reason to be unhappy. Further, most people tend to compare themselves to others on how rich, powerful, talented, smart, successful others are, and wanting to push themselves to do more. All…

This reading was a source of learning and inspiration for my life and profession. The…

Heading toward the end of this incredible and challenging year I think it is important to reflect on learnings, achievements and next goals. I have spent a lot of time alone and with no chances of social interactions during the last months. Hence, I decided to dedicate this time to personal and internal growth. It’s a long and complex process, there are moments of positivity and hope, and other moments of discouragement and sadness, since this…
During these months I have been thinking that it is important to look at what resources people have to cope with this challenging time. A powerful factor that everyone possesses is character strengths, the symbol of individual differences and specific psychological traits. Character strengths are individual positive traits that display in thoughts, behaviors and feelings. They are the most fundamental resources to leverage when you want to thrive despite…

In January 2019, I moved…
What do you want to achieve? This is the main question that leads a coaching conversation. I have noticed that clients do not often have an immediate and clear answer. A possible reason is that this person has never thought thoroughly about their life, career or future opportunities. Sometimes, people do not completely control the path of…
