Question 1

What does EMCC Senior Practitioner mean?

Accepted Answer

The EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) focuses on reflective, evidence-based coaching. It means I regularly review my own practice, keep up with new research, and adapt methods that truly fit each client’s context rather than relying on one fixed model.

Question 2

What does ICF PCC stand for?

Accepted Answer

The ICF (International Coaching Federation) Professional Certified Coach level emphasises structure and accountability. It ensures that each session follows clear principles and competencies, built on trust, ethics, and measurable progress.

Question 3

Why does having both certifications matter?

Accepted Answer

Both credentials are globally recognised standards in professional coaching. They show that my work meets high ethical, educational, and professional benchmarks, and that I approach coaching with both structure and curiosity.

Question 4

How do the two approaches work together?

Accepted Answer

The EMCC brings flexibility and depth, encouraging reflection and learning. The ICF adds consistency and focus, keeping the process structured and results-oriented. Together, they create a balance between adaptability and direction, so the coaching feels both personal and effective.

Question 5

Why does this matter to me as a client?

Accepted Answer

It means you’re working with someone who combines proven professional standards with a personalised, human approach. You can expect conversations that are safe, structured, and tailored to your goals, supported by global-quality coaching practice.

Question 6

Do you work with private clients or with companies?

Accepted Answer

Both, either directly or through coaching platforms. Get in touch to find out whether I already work with your company or its platform.

Question 7

What’s your coaching style?

Accepted Answer

Direct, empathetic, and results-oriented. I combine 25+ years of leadership experience in tech and business with methods from systemic coaching, neuroscience, and Liberating Structures. Expect clarity, structure, and the occasional uncomfortable — but necessary — question. This is a thinking partnership: you bring the challenge, and I bring the space, the questions, and the accountability.

Question 8

How do I know if I need coaching or mentoring?

Accepted Answer

Coaching helps you unlock your own thinking. It’s ideal when you’re navigating complexity, making decisions, or shifting how you lead. Mentoring brings guidance: I share my perspective and experience when you’re facing something I’ve lived through, like managing executive transitions, female leadership challenges, or career reinvention.

Question 9

How does your coaching programme work?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a complimentary discovery call. If we’re a fit, I’ll design a programme around your goals, typically 6 or 10 sessions over 3–6 months. Sessions are 60–75 minutes, remote or in person, and include email check-ins, optional tools or assessments, and clear metrics for progress. Leadership is a journey: I walk beside you, and sometimes a few steps ahead.

Question 10

In which languages do you work?

Accepted Answer

I coach fluently in English, German, and Italian. My clients are often international leaders navigating cross-cultural dynamics — I’ve been there too.
