Good conversations, genuine and honest, in all their forms and situations: starting the day with a good coffee, walking in the countryside or on the beach, surrounded by friends over a meal and a good wine, going over the day with my children at dinner, and listening to the aspirations, hopes and challenges of great professionals who work day after day, giving their all to achieve their goals,... as long as you don't have to look at the clock too much...

Because I like to work on innovative projects with large and small companies that promote growth and entrepreneurship, and that requires cohesive, passionate and boundless teams to give the best of themselves. Executive and team coaching seems to me to be one of the most effective tools to drive the transformation of people and organisations.

I started practising almost without realising it during my previous experience as a corporate manager, when I liked to spend time in development conversations with people in the team. In a 360 evaluation one of them wrote me a comment: "Monica, you should be encouraged to explore your potential as a coach"... and soon after someone recommended the Escuela Europea de Coaching to me... I will always be grateful to these two people.

Over the last few years I have been very inspired by this phrase "courage is not the absence of fear, but keeping a firm step", and we are in the process of doing so...

Book

I put two books, choose the one you like best

El almirante by Luis Mollá. I enjoy the novelized history, and this book tells the life and achievements of Admiral Blas de Lezo in a very entertaining way—a true example of courage, commitment, and leadership.

The Three Musketeers by A. Dumas. It has everything: epic, love, friendship, teamwork, adventure, intrigue, and action.

Song

Beyond the Sea, for its lyrics, which talk about the strength of true love and destiny, and for its melody—it always makes me want to dance when I hear it.
