My Qualification

Alessandro De Angelis ACC ICF

WELCOME

I help leaders, executives and professionals develop the ability to make better decisions in complex environments, integrating intuition, data, experience and emotional intelligence.

I work with individuals facing growth phases, transitions or strategic inflection points who want to strengthen clarity, presence and anticipatory leadership skills — essential assets in today’s fast-changing business landscape.

My name is Alessandro De Angelis. I am based in Rome and I support individuals and organizations through Executive Coaching and Human Performance Coaching programs.
I have been an ICF-accredited Coach since 2016 and I bring a strong business background in economics and finance developed within structured corporate environments.

My approach combines strategic thinking, high-performance sport principles and applied emotional intelligence.

FROM BUSINESS TO THE MAT: WHERE DECISION-MAKING IS TRAINED

For many years I have been teaching Kickboxing. The mat represents, for me, a powerful metaphor of executive reality: pressure, speed, responsibility and the constant need to read situations before they fully unfold.

On the mat — just like in leadership — you learn to:
• recognize emerging patterns
• manage stress and uncertainty
• anticipate instead of reacting
• maintain clarity under pressure

This experience shaped my coaching style: pragmatic, performance-oriented and action-focused.

To structure this approach professionally, I pursued ICF certification and advanced training in emotional intelligence using the Paul Ekman methodology, because modern leadership requires more than technical expertise — it requires emotional literacy, perception skills and decision awareness.

EXECUTIVE COACHING FOR HUMAN PERFORMANCE

Today’s leaders operate in environments where speed, complexity and uncertainty are the norm. Success increasingly depends on the ability to detect weak signals, anticipate change and make high-impact decisions with limited information.

In my coaching programs I support clients to:

  • develop strategic clarity and decision focus
  • strengthen executive presence and personal authority
  • improve decision quality in complex contexts
  • integrate rational thinking with trained intuition
  • build sustainable leadership performance over time

I do not provide generic solutions.
I design personalized coaching journeys focused on measurable progress, internal alignment and leadership effectiveness.

My goal is not motivation.
My goal is to help you see earlier, decide better and act with greater impact.

If you feel it is time to elevate your leadership, clarity and strategic direction, we can start from here.

I will leave you with a principle that guides my work:

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

THEY SAY ABOUT

In breve tempo con Alessandro ho potuto affrontare e superare alcuni limiti che mi ponevo da tutta la vita. Il percorso che mi ha proposto è stato assolutamente filologico e razionale, e mi ha finalmente aperto la mente a tutte le possibilità che non sapevo di aver sempre avuto.

Attraverso il percorso di coaching si concretizzano degli scenari nuovi da metabolizzare e percorrere. E’ stato davvero utile per affrontare le sfide organizzative, di gestione del tempo in particolare, sia in ambito lavorativo che personale. Grazie coach!
Alma A. (business analyst)

L’esperienza che ho fatto con Alessandro De Angelis è stata risolutiva per fare un cambio di passo nel mio ambito professionale. Ho rifondato il mio studio di Architettura con nuovi soci. Non escludo di ripetere questa esperienza con Alessandro al fine di delineare nuovi obiettivi.
