“A goal is not a place we get to; it is where we come from."
- Rich Litvin -
I hold qualifications in Psychology and Management from three leading European universities: La Sapienza, Helsinki Yliopisto, and Henley Business School. In the earlier phase of my career, I gained recognition as an award-winning consultant, for my ability to amplify the impact of individuals and organizations.
Since 2016, I've built a thriving coaching and consulting business, collaborating with diverse individuals, senior leaders in large corporations such as Shell, Oxford University Press, and Ashai, and SMEs across more than 10 industries worldwide. My clients include serial entrepreneurs, executives, senior leaders, wealth managers, and professionals.
As one of the 2023 winners of the 'Leadership for a Fairer World' contest, I serve as an Ambassador for the Henley Centre for Leadership at Henley Business School. My perspectives have been featured in British national publications like The Guardian, Metro, and The I Paper, as well as Brainz Magazine, and The Sunday Post. I author the newsletter 'One Step Forward' and have been a guest speaker for organizations including JCI London (Chamber of Commerce), UCL (Save The Children), the UA in UK Fashion and Beauty Community, and the Positive Nature Network. My talks have been described as "very insightful and even necessary during such challenging times."
I was raised in a family of brick-and-mortar business owners in a small Southern Italian town.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the area was particularly challenging for business owners, due to corruption, organized crime, and limited access to business education and support. These experiences profoundly influenced my views and interests in entrepreneurship, human psychology, and adaptive leadership in complex environments.
I have cultivated deep expertise at the intersection of human performance and the mechanics of growing businesses. Through my work, I've discovered how conventional thinking is the most formidable barrier to accelerated growth and vitality. I've also observed how ambition and the willingness to take personal responsibility can lead to self-doubt, attempts to control circumstances, and strained relationships.
To transition from good to extraordinary, one must learn the distinctions to operate at a higher level of thinking.

Clarity is the precondition of accelerated progress, resilience and resourcefulness. You will experience a sense of calm, yet inspired confidence.
ADOPT A WORLD-CLASS MINDSET
World-class leaders are smart learners. They seek insight, depth, and transformation rather than exposure to information. You will experience breaking through to a higher level of thinking.

Accelerated impact occurs when we operate at a higher level of performance, while resourcefully mobilising resources. You will enhance your ability to lead and inspire.
Even the grandest of rooms such as the Tea Lounge at the Claremont Hotel Victoria, London can be filled with joy motivation as you listen to Manuel. We at JCI London were very pleased as Manuel joined our Gala on Saturday and gave a speech. Manuel shared his unique expertise with JCI presidents, senators, board directors and others. In his speech, Manuel shared the three important lessons that have helped him overcome countless setbacks and we all found them very insightful and even necessary during such hard times. Thank you very Manuel for joining us and we are very looking forward to future collaborations.
