Luca Pulito
Switzerland
Luca has a master’s degree in economics and has held several executive positions in multinational companies in various industries. Dealing with enormous pressure leading multicultural teams and managing huge budgets, he ended up in a major burnout. Years of self-awareness and self-care later, wondering why all those leadership mentorship and training programs he had in his jobs haven’t helped him, he got into coaching and acquired several degrees (NLP Master, NLP coaching, and ICF corporate coaching). Being a fully reintegrated burnout victim, he now particularly cares and specializes in burnout prevention and reintegration. Besides his coaching experience, Luca is an experienced Project & Program Manager, Scrum Master, Change Manager and Business Process Improvement manager. Luca firmly believes that our performances, our serenity, our happiness depend largely on ourselves. That’s why he loves to stimulate that magical moment in which someone decides to be happy, authentic, immune to external interference. The moment that opens the way to continuous growth.
Lucas’s work focuses on leadership with emotional intelligence, burnout prevention, self-awareness, NLP techniques, and transactional analysis. With “cognitive transformation learning” he created his own method.
Luca lives in Tessin, Switzerland, and speaks fluent English and Italian. One of his passions besides Coaching is conscious finance. He is a trainer in financial intelligence with the aim of spreading awareness and the right approach, both technical and mental, to the management of one’s assets. He loves to develop and evolve as a person. He loves to help and energize people in becoming the best version of themselves.
