About me

Happy organization facilitator

Financial advisor, manager, entrepreneur…

These are all the “garments” I’ve worn in my life including, albeit with some adjustments, when I became a mother.

I always gave it my all to develop the skills required to enable me to wear these garments comfortably, but over time I became more and more curious about other “styles”.

I began to understand that the right garment is the one in which we feel completely at ease, the one which enables us to express our natural talents and satisfies our deepest needs. When we are wearing the right garment, we are expressing our true essence and purpose in life. When it fits right we are simply happy.

After a degree in economics and business administration, a master’s degree in tax law and business taxation, and a myriad of refresher courses, over the last few years I’ve been exploring a different path that has brought to light another profound part of me. I had put this part on the back burner out of a sense of duty and responsibility toward the career I had undertaken.

This new path allowed me to grow in awareness and led me to become a happy organization facilitator. I custom designed this profession around my natural talents and skills, using my life experiences as well as the teachings I learned in class, from books and, most importantly, on the field.

I was fortunate to work with a number of inspiring entrepreneurs, amazingly intelligent, upright and ethical men and women who taught me many lessons. I rationalized, systematized and built on these lessons to reach my goals and realize my personal mission.

Company organization

Organization is one of the keywords of my story. I acquired this skill at an early age and built on it at each stage of my life.

After attaining a degree in Economics and Business Administration, I was catapulted into the challenging task of managing the extremely complex administration of a large tourism company alone. The company was exciting and dynamic but completely lacked organizational structure. The persons who assigned me this role had the naive idea that having that kind of degree under one’s belt meant having an in-depth knowledge of a company’s full span of financial, accounting and tax operations!.

But I was up for the challenge and the hands-on experience proved to be a great advantage. I learned through trial, error and adjustment. My insecurities and indecisiveness were cleared away by the pressing need to take action and by the environment itself, which at the time was not as tattered as it is today.

I did what I had studied to do, pouring passion, effort and willpower into it.

Driven by my desire to grow, I decided I needed a change to test my managerial abilities and landed the senior tax manager position at Opel Italia S.p.A., now General Motors Italia S.p.A. (GM), where I worked for a period of time. At GM, I enjoyed rationalizing, organizing, learning internal auditing procedures, and interacting with a management and consulting environment that was more structured that what I was used to.

That’s how I became a solid financial advisor and administrative executive. I have created procedures and trained dozens of employees for various company roles, especially in the hotel sector. I have covered positions in the purchasing, sales and booking departments. I have developed hotel management software in collaboration with various software houses and assisted the transition to management, accounting and performance audit software. For years, I was in charge of accounting, tax planning, generational changes, corporate mergers, reorganizations, and performance audits.

Family organization

At one point I decided I wanted children. My biological clock was ticking so I got right on it, giving birth to my 3 precious children in the record time of 4 years. Needless to say, I had become irreplaceable at work. Conveniently small and lightweight, my laptop came with me to the delivery room. I breastfed my children for hours while I worked on my laptop and talked on the phone. I asked my employees to join me at home to coordinate the work. As I look back, I think the main nutrients in my breast milk were numbers, words and, sadly, stress and frustration.

I literally “delivered” remote working (and the household management that went with it) with my first child.

To survive the overwhelming chaos, I had to organize the various aspects of my life the best I could.

From the search for happiness
to happy organizing

Those who know me have always admired me for my ability to organize everything while, at the same time, keeping my cool appearance and sweet mother demeanor. A real-life Wonder Woman! Except that …

Collaborators saw the worst of me, my children demanded my attention, my husband grumbled. I felt the full weight of the guilt for not being there for my parents, my children, my aunts and uncles, the company, my studies. What about me? Who? Me? I didn’t exist!

This went on for years and little by little, I lost my smile and became the shadow ofmyself.Then, that part of me that had always been seeking happiness led me to venture into fields that were far from, yet complementary to, my financial studies.

Chief Happiness Officer

    Self Science, a system for self transformation of which I’m a certified trainer, helped me to understand that I wasn’t naturally talented in administration and accounting. As soon as I realized this, it became clear to me why I had struggled so much through college and during my working life.

    Nobody at school had taught me about the importance of self-awareness and the power of listening to my emotions and cultivating my natural talents.

    Every speaker, professor, scholar, coach, trainer, philosopher and theologian I encountered in my random path – even the young priest at my children’s oratory – gave me invaluable insights that illuminated the way towards MY own happiness.

    Soon I found out that happiness is real only when shared. During my professional life, I often faced conflicts without really having the right skills to manage them. I wanted to develop these skills and, most importantly, put them to work to contribute to the creation and growth of positive organizations, so I became a Chief Happiness Officer (CHO).

Today, I feel I’m on the right path in my happiness journey and have finally struck a dynamic balance between the multiple facets of “me”. Everybody now tells me I am radiant and instill in them joy, positivity, courage to live up to their own possibilities and a love for life.
In the past I thought I had to pursue the life chosen by others. Today, I live by this simple credo:

“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny, but what we put into it is ours”.
