Shouldn't I know how to do this by now?

Sometimes the hardest promotions aren't about responsibility—they're about identity. It often shows up with scientists, researchers, and technical experts who have become leaders. If you're second-guessing every decision, you may be trying to solve leadership like a research question.

What does a session actually look like?

A conversation. Usually an hour to ninety minutes. No presentation, no homework, no performance. Just somewhere to put the things you're thinking about.

Can we do coaching while walking?

Yes. Sometimes by phone, sometimes side by side in person in Verona, Italy or across Europe. Moving through a landscape while thinking changes the conversation.

Do you have to know what you want before starting coaching?

No. Uncovering what you actually want rather than what looks good on paper is often the core focus of the coaching partnership.

Questions worth asking.

Not what you should think.
Not what everyone else thinks.
What do you think?
This is probably where we’d start.
Not the sensible answer.
Not what looks good on paper.
What would you actually like to be different?
Sometimes being stuck is a very sophisticated way of not making a decision.
Would that be ok?
The career.
The role.
The ambition.
The version of success you’re chasing.
Yours?
We spend a lot of time asking what might go wrong.
Less often:
what might never happen if we don’t move?
Sometimes the hardest transitions aren’t about learning something new. They’re about becoming someone different.
It often happens when a scientist becomes a leader, a researcher becomes a founder, or a specialist suddenly has to make decisions without all the evidence.
You can be very good at thinking and still find yourself second-guessing everything.
No.
That’s rather the point.
Yes.
Sometimes by phone.
Sometimes side by side.
There is something about moving through a landscape while thinking that changes the conversation.
Because thinking about something alone and thinking about it with someone who isn’t invested in the answer are two very different things.
A conversation.
Usually an hour to ninety minutes.
No presentation.
No homework.
No performance.
Just somewhere to put the things you’re thinking about.
You book a conversation.
We talk.
You decide whether you want to continue.
That's it.
No pitch. No obligation.
