My story
Hello,
I’m Cristina, I'm a Certified Professional Co-active Coach (CPCC), Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC) and Organization and Relationship System practitioner (ORSC). I have trained at CTI (Co-active training institute), widely recognized as the most rigorous training program in the industry. I'm also a Positive Intelligence Coach.
This is the story of my journey and my choice to become a co-active coach.

Feeling like on train tracks 
I grew up in a beautiful area near Lake Como, where a culture of tenacity and the love and aspiration of my family shaped my choices. I’ve always tried hard to get the best results in everything I did. After graduating I moved to London almost 20 years ago, worked for years in the front office of an investment bank. Got married to the love of my life and built our little tribe of three kids. After leaving my finance job, I worked for a while for my family business whilst raising the kids. The first smile, the first tooth, the first step, the first word… all multiplied by three.  It felt as if my life was moving on pre-set train tracks.

Hours of freedom…
And in the blink of an eye, the kids all started school and they were gone for a good part of the day. From struggling to find time to take a shower, I finally had a few hours of freedom every day, but they somehow felt empty: it was as if the train tracks of my life were gone. Suddenly I had some time for myself and the responsibility to choose and to create my very own new path. I was aware and conscious of what the experiences in life had taught me, I knew I loved connecting deeply with other human beings, creating a place of safety and care, I knew I loved to learn and wanted to grow again professionally.

… but feeling like going in circles
And so the spin cycle of my life started. And for days after days I could feel I was spending hours pondering, studying, thinking, evaluating and feeling really stuck and unclear. I felt so much energy and potential were repressed by my inability to leap, to move forward. I realised I couldn’t do it alone.
Time for conscious choices: be myself! 
 Life brought me in contact with an old friend who at the time was working on her coaching certification with CTI. We talked, I hired her as my coach, and I was immediately struck by the power of a process that seemed so natural and simple and at the same time extremely deep and transformative. I realized that the only way was focusing my attention on who I am and what I wanted. It was at the same time simple and hard!

All my thoughts, my values, my convictions came together and I could channel my energy into a new path ahead. I could finally choose and the choice came from a new perspective: MINE! The choice I made was just accepting to be entirely myself. In this context of authenticity, everything is so clear that there isn’t room for regret or doubt…it is so liberating! 

My way: Being a co-active and positive intelligence coachI’m present. I’m at choice. From my core, the only way is my way, with courage and acceptance. I feel the pull to go ahead knowing that as long as I’m doing my best, failing will be ok because I will still be me.

For me the choice is to be a co-active and positive intelligence coach. When I coach I can connect completely with my clients and with their undiscovered potential. Without judgment and with kindness and ambition I guide my clients to rediscover their best selves. When I coach, I’m alive, on purpose and I truly care! During the sessions, I can deeply listen to my clients and help them to set clarity about their beautiful self, to connect with their inner strength and wisdom and to find the confidence to take their perfect-size steps to become their best in their life
