Me

I’m a coach because I’m good at it, because I enjoy listening, and because witnessing my clients’ transformation gives me energy. I take inspiration from Socrates, who challenged people with his questions to help them grow, and from Virgil, who guided Dante from hell to paradise. But I keep it humble.

Here you can find my ideas about coaching.

A bit about me:

• Before falling in love with coaching, I worked in business for several years, mostly as a project manager, in Italy, the UK, and France. If I have a structured mind, it’s largely thanks to these experiences.
• Over the years, I’ve translated more than 70 books, including several personal development texts. Translating has taught me to pay close attention to words and details.
• I enjoy studying. I have two university degrees, which haven’t been particularly useful. But I’d love to get a third one.
• I have fun learning languages. I can work in Italian, English, French, and Spanish. I’ve been studying Japanese for a while, and recently started German and Old English.
• At one point in my life, I thought I could be an actor, so I studied acting. Then I changed my mind and started teaching it.
• I love simplifying and searching for the essence of things. And since I’ve had plenty of practice, I usually find it.
• I’m passionate about martial arts. They have taught me discipline, the value of repetition, and how to balance strength and flexibility.
• In the morning, before starting my day, I read a few pages in Latin. It makes me feel like an intellectual.
• Someone told me I could be more empathetic. No one has ever told me I’m not competent.
• I’m a minimalist. But when it comes to books and skills, I don’t hold back.
• When I do something, I do it well. That’s why I often say no.
• I don’t like small talk and I’m protective of my time. Coaching is different: I’d happily do it even for free.
