About Me
Hi, I’m Marco
“Know all the theories. Master all the techniques. But as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul.” (Carl Jung)
My Journey in Volleyball
Volleyball has been a great passion since I was very young. Whenever I played everything around me disappeared, there was only my team, the court and the ball.
This experience taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance, dealing with failure, teamwork and the power of a focused mind.
As a volleyball player, I learned that “trying” is a precondition for many things to become possible. This mindset led me to always work on improving myself, even after achievements. This is why I was the captain of my teams and what brought several team and person titles, including that of best player of the year in Tuscany in 1995.
My Career in Management
My professional life led me to Helsinki, Finland, where I worked as Team Leader at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
My job wasn’t easy, but it helped me build and refine my aptitudes in team dynamics, conflict management and effective communication. I learned how to listen effectively, how to give constructive criticism and how to make difficult choices. But most of all, the importance of building healthy relationships.
My colleagues always appreciated my interest for individual and collective growth and development, and identified as one of my unique traits that of making them feel heard.
My Coaching Journey
My coaching journey started at the end of 2015, and culminated with my first certification from the International Coaching Federation in 2021.
In parallel, life led me to the world of mindfulness, breathwork and yoga, allowing me to find levels of balance and well-being I never thought possible.
Inspired by this transformation, in 2022, I decided to take a different turn in my career and became a full-time coach to support others in their own professional journey.
