About

I believe meaningful growth begins with understanding who we are, recognizing our inherent worth, and discovering the purpose we are called to fulfill.

My background in economics, international development, and organizational leadership has given me a broad perspective on how people make decisions, navigate change, and grow within complex environments.

Today, I bring together strategic coaching, leadership development, the Enneagram, and trauma-informed practices to support individuals and organizations in building greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.

Grounded in Christian faith and values, my approach combines professional expertise with a deep respect for each person's dignity, potential, and unique journey.

Mission

To help individuals and organizations recognize their potential, overcome limiting patterns, and lead with greater clarity, authenticity, and purpose.

I believe that personal growth and professional success are deeply connected—and that lasting transformation begins from within.

CALL2THRIVE is an initiative of Lombardo Coaching, bringing together Christian faith, leadership, personal growth, and meaningful conversations to inspire people to live and lead with purpose.

Professional Background & Credentials

My professional journey spans more than a decade across Africa, Europe, and the United States, working with governments, United Nations agencies, universities, research institutions, NGOs, and private organizations.

These experiences have shaped my ability to navigate diverse cultural and organizational environments, communicate across professional and institutional levels, and bring an interdisciplinary perspective to leadership, decision-making, and organizational development.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Economics and a Master's degree in International Economics, complemented by advanced academic training in macroeconomics and statistics.

I am a certified Mastery Coach through the Institute for Coaching Mastery (ICM) and a certified Integrative Enneagram practitioner (IEQ9), integrating coaching methodologies and self-awareness tools to support personal and professional development.

A foundational part of my work is my ongoing three-year professional training in the Relationship Recovery Process (RRP), a childhood trauma recovery model developed by Amanda Curtin, LICSW, and further advanced through the work of Patrick Teahan, MSW. This approach explores how early life experiences, family dynamics, and deeply rooted survival patterns can shape adult identity, emotional responses, relationships, and decision-making.

This specialized training strengthens my trauma-trained coaching approach, particularly in understanding how patterns such as people-pleasing, avoidance, perfectionism, and fear can influence leadership, career development, financial decisions, and personal growth.

Fluent in Italian, English, and Spanish, with proficiency in French, I bring a multicultural perspective to my coaching and consulting practice.
