Who am I?

I have always been fascinated by the human being, and I have always tried to help people fulfill their potential and find happiness. Positive psychology, emotional intelligence and empathy are the fundaments of coaching; after 35 years spent working in various companies in Italy and abroad I decided to make my passion my profession and attained a diploma in Coaching and Mentoring at Kingstown College in Ireland, accredited with the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council)

What is coaching?

In Italy coaching is still in its infancy and there is a lot of confusing information out there. Many people think that a coach is a type of trainer. Unfortunately there is of yet no official regulation, and there are coaches who pass themselves off as such without competent training. The EMCC and the ICF (International Coaching Federation) have created a very clear and severe Ethical Code to which all accredited coaches adhere.

The difference between psychotherapy and coaching is fundamental: coaching focuses on the positive and the future, touching little on the past. A good coach works with a client’s strong points, guiding him/her to find his/her own answers and to choose his/her own path. A coach will not make suggestions or give answers, it is the process itself that guides the client.
