Quotes icon

As a new Chief Executive I have really enjoyed directing the business, developing strategies and managing risks. However I have been less comfortable in being the person in the spotlight. This is a reflection of my introverted nature and discomfort in making connections. Your coaching sessions helped me to look beyond my sense of duty and obligations and gave me a new enthusiasm and purpose for engaging people. The focus on my values and why I want to build relationships has provided me with more confidence and a renewed commitment which I am sure will benefit both me personally and the organisation I am leading. Thanks you for your patience and guidance during our programme.

Lorenzo is super smart and has an amazing capacity to drive you back to the session's objective (...) Under his guidance, I could understand key behavioural paths which I repeat and which are the ones that most affect my way of working or facing difficulties (...) with Lorenzo, I had always the impression he understood immediately where I was and where I had to go, and he could bring me there by just being at my side and make me feel I was leading the way. I truly recommend Lorenzo as a coach for Personal Wellness and Growth but also for Work-personal balance.

Lorenzo and I embarked on a weekly coaching journey together as part of my integration into JLR as the newly created Global Managing Director for Range Rover. Moving into a newly created role and onboarding into a new company at the same time was extremely challenging. Lorenzo helped me to work through understanding my priorities (both personal and professional) and to identify my needs in order to be able to perform at my best. Lorenzo is empathic, personable, a great listener and really builds trust so that you can explore areas that would otherwise stay below the surface. The coaching was very beneficial and helped my integration and onboarding to be more effective – having a “safe” space to explore what was important to me.

I spent six months with Lorenzo on a coaching programme and it was a truly inspiring experience. From day one we clicked and it was his natural approach to get to know me better, my surroundings and my aspirations. His engagement with me was intellectual, real and though provoking. I found Lorenzo to be extremely knowledgeable , personable , professional and he challenged me many times on my thinking , approach and areas where I could potentially look at things differently. He was creative yet practical. He was demanding but fair. I really appreciated Lorenzo going that extra mile to understand , empathize and jointly explore my development. I would highly recommend Lorenzo for any future collaboration and thank him for his support.

I have had the pleasure of having Lorenzo as an executive coach. He supported me during the second half of my first year in the new company, in a critical moment of getting aligned with organization priorities. His balanced approach between asking, listening and focusing brought me to efficiently rebalance my personal attitude and understanding of professional relationships within the new group, particularly with leadership and peers. Based on my experience and proficient interaction, I cannot imagine having a better coaching relationship.

Quotes icon

Lorenzo is a thoughtful and perceptive coach and his coaching style is positive, energetic and enthusiastic.
