ICTF: our team

“My coaching value proposition is “Problem talk creates problems, solution talk creates solutions”. I support my clients on their journey to find whatever they are seeking, using the their skills, strengths and views that they bring to the coaching relationship. From my experience in Africa, as an expatriate, I realised that the more distinctions we have in our own language, the more alternatives we have for taking action. Respect comes from appreciating that other people’s languages provide them with a different awareness to our own. The resulting conversations create a powerful tool for win-win relationships.”

Business experience
I am a Senior Consultant, Assessor and Executive Coach supported by the exposure, during the last 20 years, to managerial roles in different companies and industries. My expertise in training has been acquired in the H.R. departments of Piaggio & Co. and Waste Management Italia. While at Waste Management I devoted much attention to the “trait d’union” between the American and the Italian Management. When employed by Reconta, Ernst & Young, I had the opportunity to interact with people in many other industries.
I lived in Commonwealth Countries for 12 years, and two years in the USA. I am therefore well versed in inter-cultural opportunities and can coach both in Italian and English.
In addition to 1:1 work, I have also engaged training programs on soft skills for teams.

Coaching clients
Current and recent client companies include: Unicredit, Liu-Jo, Ditech S.p.A, SIAF (Scuola Internazionale di Alta Formazione Volterra), Toscana Promozione, Giesecke & Devrient , Sauer-Danfoss, Brembo, Menarini.

As well as partnering leaders, I am also expert in running Leadership Development and Change Management programmes for teams and groups.
