About Us
We are transition coaches: we support your creative and evolutionary journey through every phase of change – before, during, and after.
Strategic impact
Transitions are transformative journeys; where the before is never the same as the after, and the process of moving through its phases is a journey of learning that generates, accompanies, and follows change with profound awareness and a sense of purpose.
Our commitment is to support this inner process through a radical respect for experiences, generating strong awareness and alignment, and facilitating the creation of the best roadmaps and action plans for your life, career, and well-being.
The TRANSITION MASTERY programs are specifically designed to generate an extraordinary level of energy. Our goal is to help executives and organizations realize and express their unique success stories. Success that comes from a deep source and is nurtured by a sense of purpose: defined by a crystal-clear clarity regarding their optimal future trajectory, the creation of a new, aligned, and meaningful identity, and the careful formulation of coherent and shared action plans.
OUR “WHY”
The strength of purpose
No matter how complex they are, whether we choose them or they happen to us, changes and the phases we go through to incorporate them, represent not only transformative journeys but also invaluable and irreplaceable opportunities for meaning, clarity, and impact.
Our approach is “human-centric”: we believe that every transition holds the potential for profound positive change and, by providing expert guidance, we facilitate the unlocking of hidden opportunities within these moments of transformation.
Our purpose is to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to embrace change, turning challenges into stepping stones toward a future richer in meaning, satisfaction, and results. We like to think that by contributing to the success, energy, and quest for meaning of those we serve, we also promote collective growth.
How do we do it?
We are your partners in those critical phases of personal and corporate strategic evolution, where activating energy, resources, and awareness is crucial to embodying the new identity. We combine theories of human evolution with pragmatism, constantly staying updated on cutting-edge research in individual and team leadership, generating engaging paths by combining a unique and proprietary methodology (our Model) with a variety of selected approaches, practical tools, and transformational technologies. We enjoy dissolving resistance to change while preserving all the beauty of complexity.
COMMITMENT TO VALUES AND ETHICS: OUR PRINCIPLES
The 3 values of TRANSITION MASTERY are: RESPECT, CARE, and TRUST.
As specialists in transition and knowledgeable about its phases, we ensure a systemic focus on the client’s world and the construction of a secure framework, preconditions for the courageous generation and lasting embodiment of the new identity.
Our values serve as the “inner pillars” of each program we offer, distinguishing us and profoundly influencing the effectiveness and significance of our partnership with coachees and clients:
All of this is reflected in our continuous study, deepening and improvement of themes and approaches.
Beyond this, our unwavering dedication extends to upholding the highest ethical and deontological standards across every facet of our activities, initiatives, and actions. We take pride in adhering to the “ICF Code of Ethics” set forth by the International Coach Federation, ensuring a foundation of trust, integrity, and excellence in everything we do.

The symbol of Transition Mastery
The Siamese fighting fish
The Betta Splendens, or Siamese Fighting Fish, is the chosen symbol for TRANSITION MASTERY, representing the dynamism and agility required to navigate transitions. Its vibrant colors reflect the diversity and vivacity of life’s transitions.
Originating from rice paddies, the Siamese Fighting Fish has developed the ability to leap in search of cleaner water, symbolizing the courage to step out of one’s comfort zone. Often considered a solitary and determined fish, it fiercely defends its goals and values.
In essence, the Betta Splendens perfectly embodies TRANSITION MASTERY: a noble and beautiful creature that faces challenges with elegance while steadfastly protecting the values it represents.
