Accelerate your impact, performance, and wellbeing through the power of transformative coaching and exponential learning.
Personal Coach, International Speaker, and Facilitator.
Transformative Coaching and Experiential Learning
Are you resourceful, focused and ambitious? Do you have a no-matter what attitude? Are you an optimist? Do you do your best to protect your family and be a role model for others? Is growth, personal or your business, one of the most important aspects of your life? Are you self-reliant and unconventional in your approach?
But - despite all your achievements - do you sometimes find it difficult to trust others or struggle to have them join your direction of travel?
Do you have a secret dark side to your gifts that most people never see? Maybe others do not see your vision as clearly as you do and that frustrates you? Maybe you over rely on yourself to such an extent that you become isolated? Maybe you feel that your own definition of success is the wrong example for significant others you care about? Maybe you are frustrated when others do not act on your valuable insights the way you expect them to? Maybe you sometimes operate at such a high level and fast pace that you don't see how others struggle to help even when they try.
If this sounds like you, then we should have a conversation. Get in touch...

What Most People Know About Me
I hold qualifications in Psychology and Management from three leading European universities: La Sapienza, Helsinki Yliopisto, and Henley Business School. In the earlier phase of my career, I gained recognition as an award-winning consultant, for my ability to accelerate the effectiveness of individuals and organisations.
Since 2016, I've coached individuals from widely diverse backgrounds, senior leaders in large corporations such as Shell, Oxford University Press, and Ashai, and SMEs across more than 10 industries worldwide. My clients include serial entrepreneurs, executives, senior leaders, wealth managers, and entrepreneurial professionals.
As one of the 2023 winners of the 'Leadership for a Fairer World' contest, I serve as an Ambassador for the Henley Centre for Leadership at Henley Business School. My perspectives have been featured in British national publications, the likes of The Guardian, Metro, and The I Paper, as well as Brainz Magazine, and The Sunday Post. I author the newsletter 'One Step Forward' and have been a guest speaker for organisations including JCI London (Chamber of Commerce), UCL (Save The Children), the UA in UK Fashion and Beauty Community. My talks have been described as "very insightful and even necessary during such challenging times."

What Only a Few People Know About Me
I grew up in a family of brick-and-mortar business owners in a small Southern Italian town.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the area was particularly challenging for business owners, due to corruption, organised crime, and limited access to business education and support. These experiences profoundly influenced my views and interests in human psychology, entrepreneurship and adaptive leadership in complex environments.
I have cultivated deep expertise at the intersection of human performance, wellbeing and the mechanics of evolving businesses. Through my work and direct experience, I've discovered how conventional thinking is the most formidable barrier to accelerated growth and transformation. I've also observed how a leader's ambition and willingness to take personal responsibility can lead to self-doubt, attempts to control circumstances, and strained relationships.
To transition from good to extraordinary, one must learn the distinctions to operate at a higher level of thinking.
GET CLEAR
Clarity is the precondition of accelerated progress, resilience and resourcefulness. You will experience a sense of calm, yet inspired confidence.
ADOPT A WORLD-CLASS MINDSET
World-class leaders are smart learners. They seek insight, depth, and transformation rather than exposure to information. You will experience breaking through to higher levels of thinking.
ACCELERATE YOUR IMPACT
Accelerated impact occurs when others follow up because they want to, not because they have to. You will enhance your ability to lead and inspire.
Even the grandest of rooms such as the Tea Lounge at the Claremont Hotel Victoria, London can be filled with joy motivation as you listen to Manuel. We at JCI London were very pleased as Manuel joined our Gala on Saturday and gave a speech. Manuel shared his unique expertise with JCI presidents, senators, board directors and others. In his speech, Manuel shared the three important lessons that have helped him overcome countless setbacks and we all found them very insightful and even necessary during such hard times. Thank you very Manuel for joining us and we are very looking forward to future collaborations.

Trade Confidence for Clarity
Confidence without clarity can lead to bias, and obfuscate your thinking. Trade confidence for clarity.
Turn information into insight
Insight brings about change in behaviour, not mere exposure to information. Turn information into insight and your world will change.
Becoming Bulletproof
Your habitual environments shape your map of the world. In a changing territory you must collect deeper, and more pertinent insights to upgrade such map.
Three types of discomfort
Comfort and convenience can be the invisible glass cealing for the next level of growth and vitality. Where do you need to break through this cycle?
Soft and hard competencies in solo-preneurship
Solo-preneurship isn't solely about gaining practical skills. Those are easily accessible. You must elevate the quality of your thinking by immersing yourself in an enhanced thinking and performance environment.
One conversation at a time
The dept and solidity of individual relationships matters more than ever before to sustain greater levels of success and wellbeing. Do you know how to cultivate deeply rooted relationships?
