Frequently Asked Questions

What is Change Leadership Coaching?

Change Leadership Coaching is confidential executive coaching for leaders responsible for navigating complex organisational change.

It focuses on the leadership decisions, assumptions, behaviours and relationships that influence how effectively a leader responds to transformation challenges.

Who is Change Leadership Coaching for?

It is designed for senior executives, executive sponsors, CIOs, transformation leaders and other leaders carrying responsibility for significant organisational change.

How is coaching different from consulting?

In coaching, I help you explore your thinking, assumptions, choices and leadership behaviours. You retain responsibility for your decisions.

In advisory, I provide specialist expertise, diagnosis and recommendations concerning organisational change challenges.

The services have different objectives and professional boundaries.

Do I need to be leading a formal transformation programme?

Not necessarily. Coaching may also be appropriate for senior leaders navigating restructuring, organisational uncertainty, changing responsibilities or significant shifts in how their teams operate.

Is coaching confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is fundamental to the coaching relationship, subject to the agreed coaching contract, applicable professional standards and legal obligations.

For organisation-sponsored coaching, the scope of any information shared with the sponsor is agreed in advance.

How long does a coaching engagement last?

The structure and duration are agreed according to the leader's objectives and circumstances.

Do you work with organisations as well as individuals?

Yes. I provide Strategic Change Advisory for organisations undertaking enterprise transformation.

This includes support with executive sponsorship, leadership alignment, manager mobilisation, readiness and adoption.

Can coaching and advisory be combined?

They can be commissioned as complementary services where appropriate.

However, coaching objectives, advisory responsibilities and confidentiality boundaries must remain clearly defined.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. I am based in Milan and work internationally in English and Italian.
