Hi, I'm Giulia
I am a passionate life learner and I’ve been fascinated by people, development, inclusion, and change for as long as I can remember.
My journey so far has been driven by lots of energy and curiosity and it has taken me to various parts of the world, from a tiny village in Northern Italy to multicultural London, from Scotland, to the ‘larger than life’ Yukon Territory in Northern Canada, from Toronto, the most diverse city in the world to the beautiful city of Victoria in Vancouver Island.
Through these unique life experiences, I developed a global mindset, expanded my horizons and became a more open, flexible, compassionate human being, who is always ready to positively challenge the status quo and seek a deeper meaning.
I’ve been guiding people and organizations for over ten years, facilitating change and learning, realizing potential and supporting individuals and teams thrive while transforming into the most powerful, aligned and authentic version of themselves. My experience spans across different industries, including local government, health and social care, higher education and transportation where I held various roles, such as senior advisor, consultant and director.
Over the years, I've learned that transformation happens by movement, not mandate and so I approach my work in a very collaborative way, building meaningful relationships with my clients and co-creating with them new ways of doing, being and showing up to manifest positive and lasting change in the world.
I am a trained and experienced Change Management Practitioner and Participatory Leadership Facilitator, and use powerful tools and deep dialogue to activate the collective wisdom and leadership to solve complex problems and social issues.
I am also an Integral Coach™ and undertook a comprehensive training and supervision with one of the world’s leading coaching training schools (accredited with the International Coaching Federation) known for its inclusive, holistic and complete coaching methodology that promises to enable deep and lasting change and transformation.
In my coaching practice, I am committed to meeting you where you are, listening attentively to your concerns, deepest desires and wishes, connecting with your heart and mind and guiding you to evolve to match your vision, dreams and values.
I am on a continuous journey of self-discovery and mastery, working on myself, my self-awareness, finding and nurturing my own wholeness. As part of this inner journey, I have been exposed to many multidisciplinary, holistic and spiritual practices which, combined with my extensive professional training and experience, add more soul, humanity, wisdom and heart into everything I do and share with my clients.
My mission is to leave people, places and organizations better than I found them.
More about me:
Family is my everything: I am blessed with a wonderful life partner who inspires me every day and a super cute furry baby, a miniature dachshund, called Aisling
Magic is part of my work: At four years old, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I confidently responded ‘a fatina’, which means a little fairy. In a way, I made it happen as I am so fortunate to do the type of work that unfolds magic in people’s lives and organizations’ potential
Change energizes me: over the past decade, I lived in two continents, three countries, six cities and... 14 apartments!
Sport inspires my leadership: I am super passionate about figure skating and treasure the powerful lessons about vision, focus, drive, courage and resilience I learn from the sport
My waves are on fire: My sun is in Aries, rising in Leo; my MBTI profile is ENFJ – meaning I am genuinely interested in people, see the best in them and want to support them to learn, grow and succeed; my Top 5 CliftonStrengths themes are Positivity, Maximizer, Relator, Individualization and Self-Assurance. This means that I am a grounded optimistic, I focus on strengths and strive for quality, I value relationships and can identify individuals' unique qualities, styles, needs and adapt my approach to draw the best out of others.
