Core Strengths
Executive Communication & Influence
Helps leaders communicate with clarity, credibility, and impact—particularly with senior stakeholders and C-suite audiences. Strong focus on structure, value framing, context alignment, and “bringing others along” rather than over-solving alone.
Leadership Presence & Self-Awareness
Works at both the behavioural and psychological level: inner critic, confidence, insecurities, prior experiences, and how these show up in leadership, presentations, and difficult conversations.
Time, Priority & Decision Management
Known for translating complexity into usable systems. Frequently referenced tools include prioritisation frameworks, delegation models, task-intensity thinking, and practical boundary-setting (e.g., saying yes with conditions, depersonalising “no”).
Structured Thinking & Frameworks
Appreciated for her ability to contextualise theory and turn it into repeatable, adaptable frameworks that clients can reuse independently. Strong use of metaphors, visual tools (e.g., boards), and step-by-step logic.
Cross-Cultural & Inclusive Leadership
Brings deep sensitivity to cultural differences, seniority dynamics, and neurodiversity. Helps leaders adapt communication styles to different audiences without losing authenticity.
Consistently rated at the highest level, Ilaria is described as insightful, grounded, pragmatic, and deeply committed to her coachees’ growth. Clients often note that her impact extends well beyond the program itself, shaping how they think, communicate, and lead long term.
