Coaching

Helping people to reach their full potential through the discovery, development and harnessing of their unique strengths.

Chiara Di Rienzo

Empowering individuals to unlock their full potential by discovering, developing, and harnessing their unique strengths is my mission. I tailor each coaching journey to the specific needs and aspirations of my clients, guiding them toward a deeper understanding of themselves and helping them lead more authentically in both their personal and professional lives.

Drawing from my experience as a Co-founder and Director of a successful medium-sized business, I understand the challenges leaders face firsthand. This entrepreneurial background provides me with valuable insights that enable me to help small to medium businesses, first-time leaders, and executives turn their visions into tangible, actionable results.

I bring a unique, evidence-based approach to coaching, drawing on my ongoing studies in psychotherapy. By integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), I blend deep psychological insight with practical leadership development. This dual focus nurtures both professional growth and personal well-being, creating a transformative coaching experience that is ideal for:

Emerging Leaders: I support first-time managers in navigating the complexities of leadership by equipping them with the tools to lead authentically, inspire their teams, and achieve sustainable success. By helping new leaders align their personal values with their professional responsibilities, I foster an authentic leadership style that builds trust, encourages collaboration, and motivates teams to thrive.
Career Transitions: Whether you're advancing within your current field or seeking a complete shift, I guide professionals through pivotal career transitions. With strategic insights and tailored coaching, I help you identify new opportunities, overcome challenges, and make meaningful, informed changes that align with your long-term goals.

"Chiara is a wonderful coach. Before working with her I felt unclear about what excited me about work and whether I was on the right path. She was very supportive and able to give me the right advice for my career move. She is highly professional and organised and she tailored a programme specifically for my needs. Within a few months I was able to find a job that fully aligns with my career goals and work- life balance."

"Chiara helped me get through the period that followed my redundancy. After working for many years in reception, I felt the need for a change, but I didn’t know which direction to take and how to overcome self-limiting beliefs. Thanks to the coaching sessions, I managed to regain self-confidence and strengthened my determination to change career path. I am now doing a job I really love, and can’t thank Chiara enough for helping me realise my potential!"

"I am extremely privileged to have worked with Chiara. Not only is she an inspiring leader, brilliant and engaging; she is an extraordinary trainer and coach. Insightful, caring, challenging and expert in her field, Chiara has the ability to bring out the best in you. I am extremely grateful for her talent, uplifting style and creating a coaching environment that was innovative and safe. I would highly recommend Chiara to anyone who is considering entering the amazing world of coaching and NLP.

"I learnt so much from Chiara, especially about coaching and supporting others to grow and fulfill their potential. I can confidently say that anyone looking for an excellent coach will be in safe hands."

"Chiara was my coach in my first leadership role. I was working in a demanding and fast paced environment. She helped me navigate challenges I was experiencing and increased my self-awareness and confidence. I feel our coaching relationship accelerated my professional development and career progression. I highly recommend Chiara as a leadership coach."
