"Bruna's approach encourages you to think about what your values are and what’s really important to you to feel fulfilled and satisfied."


I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work with Bruna recently, and what a fantastic experience it was! I was lucky enough to benefit from her expertise and insight into techniques and tools to help you bring yourself into what you do. Bruna’s approach, based on self-reflection and self-awareness, encourages you to think about what your values are and what’s really important to you to feel fulfilled and satisfied. I’m on the road to making changes and knowing they will benefit me and those important to me, including my approach to work. And to top it all – she’s a great person! Thanks Bruna!

"Bruna helped me understand how the brain works when it comes to our emotional intelligence."


I had the pleasure of working with Bruna as a coach for the past six months, during which she helped me understand how the brain works when it comes to our emotional intelligence. Above all, I was impressed with Bruna’s knowledge and experience dealing with this topic. It has been an amazing journey that I will recommend to anyone seeking answers on managing our emotional intelligence in all aspects of our lives.

Vice President at JP Morgan

"I immediately got over my initial reluctance in joining a career coaching programme by measuring my progress through the quantitative and rational tools I was introduced to by Bruna."


It has been an incredible pleasure working with Bruna: her natural empathy, optimism and commitment have all been continuous during our programme. Her deep knowledge of neuroscience, along with her up to date information of the work environment and dynamics are the keys in her success in creating a unique and bespoke experience that is guiding me through important decisions for my career and the next steps to be taken.

I immediately got over my initial reluctance in joining a career coaching programme by measuring my progress through the quantitative and rational tools I was introduced to by Bruna. Those tools helped me in reassessing what are the key factors to align my career goals to my ambitions, in rediscovering my natural skills and how to leverage on those and in orientating my career choices towards my plan.

Although the programme is now over I still have a constant exchange of advice, updates and ideas with her, and I plan to take other sessions with her. I would strongly advise in favour of this programme, independently of the reasons that bring to it (career development, reassessment, career change).

Executive Director - Healthcare at CBRE

"...her energy and deep knowledge gave us really valuable insights"



Last year we committed to spending a half day together every 3 months and we’re following through on that commitment.

Today was facilitated by the fabulous Bruna who used neuroscience to help elevate our sense of team spirit and empowerment. Her energy and deep knowledge gave us really valuable insights even though I’m a tiny bit sad that she didn’t follow through her promise that I could dance on the table. Next time!

"...an incredibly insightful look into being a human being."


Thank you to Bruna for an incredibly insightful look into being a human being. Being able to get together and genuinely share, openly and honestly as a team supporting one another, that was the winner for me.

"Every coaching session was a boost for my confidence and my self awareness."


I watched Bruna’s talk on Tedx University of Manchester and it was like she was talking to me. Her words resonated with me a lot. I was looking for a career coach.

It was a transitional time of my life, in between my two pregnancies, when I was feeling the urge to make a significant change in my life. She inspired me and so I hired her.

Every coaching session was a boost for my confidence and my self awareness. The journey together was such a lovely one. I’ll be grateful forever.

"Bruna's science-based training provided me with valuable tools to tackle confidence and growth in my career."


Working with Bruna was revolutionary for me. Bruna's science-based training provided me with valuable tools to tackle confidence and growth in my career. She created a safe space for me to learn and work through my plans and goals and a lot of the work we did has greatly improved not only how I approach my job but also my personal life. It was was a pleasure to be coached by Bruna and I can't recommend her enough.

Heléna Antonio

Producer at Nymeria Films

"I really worked deeply with her to bring who I am in what I do."


Firstly, I didn’t really know what to expect, but Bruna since the very first time we met showed me she’s incredibly passionate about her job, highly skilled and she really follows you in your journey, even after the sessions end.
She really cares about you.


Now l feel stronger and able to use all the tools she gave me; it’s a deep process, not only focused on the career, but also on who you really are.


She’s been a real coach, being with me in the low moments and celebrating with me the successful ones.
Also, everything is very practical, I really worked deeply with her to bring who I am in what I do.
Thank you, Bruna!

"She helped me achieve my goal of “Being happy and feeling fulfilled in my new role“"


I want to recommend Bruna as I am confident that if you want a change in your life, she will make you feel at ease and help you. Bruna was my Career Coach, and she helped me achieve my goal of “Being happy and feeling fulfilled in my new role“. She also listened to my future career aspirations and helped me make a plan to achieve them in the long run. Bruna never crashed my dreams, and I appreciate that. Together we set clear goals, and I learned through her coaching techniques a lot of things that I will carry with me in my professional and personal life.

"Bruna has contagious positivity and energy and is a genuine pleasure to work with."


Bruna has contagious positivity and energy and is a genuine pleasure to work with. She can quite quickly work you out, whether you like it or not, and she will get to work! Through even a short time spent working with her she helped me uncover my strengths and made me realise that any thing is possible, you just have to stay in the right place with the right mind set. Thank you Bruna

James Rothery

Sales Executive

"I came away from the session with a useful set of tools to reshape my career - not something I would have had otherwise!"


I was given the Gift Coaching Voucher by my partner for Bruna’s career coaching.

Having never done any career coaching before I was not sure what to expect, and found the experience both informative and useful.

Bruna made the session very enjoyable and easy to digest for me as a newcomer! She is friendly in her approach and is quite clearly very knowledgeable. I appreciated her ability to interpret my (not always coherent!) thought processes as well as guiding me to explore more deeply various aspects of these thoughts I had not previously done so.

Bruna’s scientific-based approach to coaching helped with providing a tangible link between the various concepts we discussed and the reasons why people are inclined to think or interpret information in certain ways. I certainly found this useful when subsequently digesting the topic we covered in our session.

Overall I came away from the session with a useful set of tools to reshape my career - not something I would have had otherwise! I would recommend the experience to anyone, particularly if you have never done any career coaching before. Thank you Bruna!

Sarah D'Angelo

Director of People and Culture at Warner Bros. Discovery

"Bruna's background and expertise lend well to providing practical and helpful advice."


I had a wonderful experience having Bruna as my coach! She is very skilled at asking questions to make you self-reflect and uncover things about yourself. Her background and expertise lend well to providing practical and helpful advice. She was a delight to work with and I would highly recommend her!

Anna Carfora

Actress and psychotherapy trainee

"In 6 sessions I made more progress than in years of psychotherapy and self-development workshops of all kinds"


Bruna is a sort of wizard! She can transform your life …she certainly transformed mine. With just a chat – an informal chat – Bruna identified a core deep-seated self-limiting belief that had blocked me for years.

And this was just the beginning….session after session with incredible passion, enthusiasm and creativity Bruna offered me an incredible set of tools to work on myself and my growth.

She made me work really hard, she followed my progress, she provided the right amount of encouragement and understanding without – EVER – allow me to ‘give up’. She is the ultimate life COACH. She really does what all good coach should do: push you, support you and at times simply ‘hold’ you… with compassion and understanding. She understands when it’s time to rest, reflect and breath and when it’s time to push and give everything you have to give! And she is FUNNY. I love Bruna’s irony and the way she designs every exercise and activity specifically to you. Meaning to your style!

I think she really understood my visual and creative approach to life and my sense of humour and worked with it. I think she is just brilliant! In 6 sessions I made more progress than in years of psychotherapy and self-development workshops of all kinds. She is extremely intuitive and passionate. She is curious, generous and meticulous. I feel she loves her job as much as she loves you, and if you work as hard as she does you will win that prize and reach that goal whatever that might be!

And the amazing thing is that she gives you so many tools that you can then work on your own for the rest of your life! And you must work hard because it’s so rewarding: it gives you incredible satisfaction and unexpected results. If you feel stuck or unhappy about where your life is going (or not going!): Bruna is the answer!

"I was stuck in a 9 to 5 job in the Financial Industry without personal fulfilment and looking for a change."


I was stuck in a 9 to 5 job in the financial industry without personal fulfilment and looking for a change, COVID-19 did not make it easier either.

Bruna has been very helpful in helping me to re-discover myself, my skills, my passions, my values and my potential for a future career change. Bruna’s methods are very clear, mind-opening and easy to follow. I am now very well equipped for climbing my 2nd Mountain (a new career path). Bruna is easy-going, committed and very professional in explaining to you from day one what you can achieve with coaching. If you are ready to embark on a fantastic journey inside yourself, fasten your seatbelts and get Bruna as your captain.

"Her advice and techniques proved extremely useful in managing stress and improving my productivity."


I had the privilege of working with Bruna for about four months, and I can say it was an incredible growth journey. Her knowledge of neuroscience and her experience as a business coach helped me better understand my strengths and weaknesses and develop effective strategies to improve my performance.

Unparalleled ability to listen and understand my needs made me feel supported and motivated throughout the process.
Her advice and techniques proved extremely useful in managing stress and improving my productivity.

I'm very grateful for Bruna's professionalism and passion, and I highly recommend her collaboration to anyone looking to improve their skills and achieve their goals. Thank you, Bruna, for helping me in Thinking and Acting Differently.

"Emotionally intelligent, compassionate and challenging at exactly the right times"


Bruna is a fantastic coach whose evidence-led, neuroscience-based approach has really resonated with me - giving me a robust tool kit to overcome challenges in my career.

Emotionally intelligent, compassionate and challenging at exactly the right times, I’d recommend Bruna to anybody looking to align their career around true fulfilment.

Susanne Cedraschi

"More than just a training, it was a moment of shared growth."


It started as a workshop and turned into a true team coaching journey. An intense, engaging, and transformative experience that allowed the group not only to acquire practical tools, but also to strengthen trust, listening, and collaboration. Bruna was able to stay attuned to the moment and the needs of the team, guiding us with sensitivity, professionalism, and authentic presence.

More than just a training, it was a moment of shared growth. Thank you Bruna!

"Bruna perfectly adapted her approach to the context and understood my needs."


After witnessing her empathetic abilities and competence, I decided to rely on Bruna. I appreciated how she perfectly adapted her approach to the context and understood my needs to develop a session specifically structured to meet the needs of the group she was working with.

Bruna approached my team with strong listening skills, and by asking the right questions, she helped unlock new perspectives on how to achieve both professional and personal goals. Bruna has a deep and strategic vision, but at the same time, she is incredibly practical and results-oriented.

Her passion and dedication are evident in every interaction, and her guidance has been essential in making a real difference.

Nikki Edelman

Vice President Premium Products at American Express

"I learnt so much about myself and the real values I hold which I now use to guide important decisions (and so much more)."


I would thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend Bruna as a coach. I worked with her throughout 2023, and it was a voyage of self-reflection and discovery that has had a huge impact on how I approach my personal life, especially as a mother, but also my professional life as a leader.

Bruna helped me unpack preconceived notions and equipped me with tools on how I approach both personal and professional challenges moving forward. I learnt so much about myself and the real values I hold, which I now use to guide important decisions (and so much more). Thank you, Bruna.

Bruna’s energy and positive attitude to life and career change gave me the boost to finally discover again what I kept inside myself for a long time.

She is supportive, creative and an amazing listener. She demonstrated to be highly skilled and able to understand what was holding me from doing what I like the most.

I’m very happy that I did those sessions with her because she really helped me to dust my real dreams.

Grazie Bruna!

"Our sessions together were career defining."


I was immediately drawn to Bruna’s profile because of her neuroscience based approach to coaching. Our sessions together were career defining — she gave me many tools needed to observe and rewire my habitual routines and charge toward my real career ambitions without fear.

Marzia Hussain

Head of Business Management Transformation at Barclays

"She has accentuated my superpowers and made me realise I can achieve whatever I want and I am the best"


Highly recommend Bruna - she has turned my professional life around with the excellent coaching I have received. I am more confident and assertive and can control that inner voice in my head.

She has accentuated my superpowers and made me realise I can achieve whatever I want and I am the best - not something we hear from our seniors at work, so I highly recommend Bruna. She listens captures and plays back with useful tools and insights especially from a neuroscience perspective.

Thank you Bruna for your help and support - couldn’t be where I am without you!!

Agata Rybicka

"I would highly recommend her to anyone lost about the direction their life and career are taking. "


Bruna is an amazingly inspirational coach. Even after one session, my thoughts about myself and my career became clearer and more focused. I would highly recommend her to anyone lost about the direction their life and career are taking. She is very energetic and clearly passionate about what she does – which translates into making her a great coach! Thanks Bruna!

Gaynor Smith

Creative Curator at City Lions

"I‘m a creative person, so she used pictures, metaphors and visualisations to coach me – really speaking my language!"


My sessions with Bruna were not only useful but enjoyable, and I always left her company feeling energised and positive – a much-needed feeling at that time in my life. She prepared thoughtfully for our sessions and took the time to understand what I needed. I‘m a creative person, so she used pictures, metaphors and visualisations to coach me – really speaking my language! What I loved most of all was the warmth with which she welcomed me to sessions, and her personal, empathetic style. She didn’t stop believing in me, even when I was doubting myself. Thank you, Bruna!

Kimberly Fitch Tully

Chief Executive Officer at Engaging Dementia

"Her expertise in this area helped me to be successful in finding a new role in the charity/volunteer sector, after 27 years with the same company and industry."


I thoroughly enjoyed working with Bruna as I contemplated a recent career change. Her expertise in this area helped me to be successful in finding a new role in the charity/volunteer sector, after 27 years with the same company/industry.

Bruna’s style is to put you firmly in the driver’s seat as to what you spend your time on with her, although she is also there to give you ideas and is a great motivator when you need that. On top of that, she is a lovely, enthusiastic force of nature, so it is a very pleasurable process to work with Bruna. I can highly recommend her!

Narjis (Constant) Mustafa

Renewables Project Manager at BP

"Bruna guided me through my thought processes and next career steps."


Bruna's guidance has been truly valuable to taking the next step in my career. She asked the right questions, guided me through my thought processes and made me do the work while making it feel effortless and joyful. She is full of energy and always brought 100% of herself to each session. I have learned many invaluable tips and tricks from Bruna! Thank you, for everything.

Luca Bazzocchi

Consulting Services Senior Manager at Autodesk

"Bruna helped me understand the real me and become aware of gifts and skills I possess but wasn't aware of."


I worked with Bruna for six intense months focusing on my personal and career development. Her clear language and way of reframing my situation and how to achieve my goals are impressive. She helped me understand the real me and become aware of gifts and skills I possess but wasn't aware of. The progress I made has been noticed by my relatives and colleagues and led to a promotion and some tough personal decisions of which I am now more conscious and convinced. The most important thing I've learned is thinking and acting as a "human being" and not as a "human doing". Thanks to all our exchanges and tips she gave me, I feel much more comfortable today in my professional and personal life. It was amazing to notice how fast I was growing following her coaching program. I can only recommend and thank Bruna for the incredible contribution she gave me.

Sandra Januszewski

"Bruna is an expert in emotional intelligence and leadership behaviour."


Bruna is an excellent coach who is personable and lovely to work with. She truly cares about your development and will help to get on the right path by sharing interesting techniques and encouraging self-reflection. Bruna is an expert in emotional intelligence and leadership behaviour, which was very useful for the time I spent with her. I highly recommend working with Bruna!

Carina Kießling

"Bruna approaches learning and coaching experience from a scientific angle."


Bruna De Palo is the one for you if you are looking for a coach beyond standard. She approaches learning and coaching experience from a scientific angle and underlays her concepts in coaching, including but not limited to, with neuroscience-based latest strategies as for example neuroscience-based behaviour patters and their understanding.

Working with Bruna gave me the chance to focus on the enhancement of my leadership skills in a managaeble manner, besides my daily business. She fostered a professional, yet always friendly atmosphere in each of our sessions. I felt like I knew Bruna since a very long time and respected specifically how it seemed like we spoke the same scientific language. Especially the latter made the ambition of change towards the improvement of certain challenges easier and ideally approachable in the timeframe that we set ourselves. Bruna is passionate about her coaching and always knows the right questions to asks and at the same time she perfectly has the finesse to understand when you need an active listener.

If you are looking for a strong, tough but in the same time warm and calm coach with the right sense of humor, then Bruna is the one for you! Thank you Bruna for our journey and for the friendship that we started to gain after finishing our coaching journey!

Paul Manning

"Bruna’s focus on the brain and dynamics led to some interesting insights and I found our sessions incredibly useful."


I worked with Bruna for five months as part of a Leadership Essentials programme at work. The coaching provided by Bruna was the best part of the programme by far and gave me a strong, practical & personalised framework to drive towards a better me. Bruna’s focus on the brain and dynamics led to some interesting insights and I found our sessions incredibly useful. Bruna helped me (re-)discover some of my true values and to better align my objectives and actions to honour those values. I’m far from the finished article, but certainly in a much better place thanks to the great engagement and work by Bruna - both in terms of myself, my self-image, the way I build relationships and much more besides. Passionate about her work and a great coach, she’s certainly helped me on my journey and I’d recommend her to others.

Pierfrancesco Costantini

Product Technical Support Manager at Tenda Technology Italia | IP-COM

"Her professionalism and competence have a massive impact on the results, which are quick and glaring."


Bruna’s coaching methodology is very effective, it’s impressive with how much passion and deep empathy she can easily win the trust of the client and fully understand them, her professionalism and competence have a massive impact on the results, which are quick and glaring. Bruna allowed me to highlight and work on some aspects of my work and private life which allowed me to achieve the goals I wanted with more than excellent results.

I believe that each company should hire such a figure to train and improve the entire workforce, focusing on each individual’s work and personal problems.

Ultimately, Bruna has significantly added value to my personal and professional growth!

Cameron Kumar

iOS Developer at Lightricks

"Bruna's neuroscience-led approach to personal development gives you a deeper understanding of how your brain works."


I would absolutely recommend Bruna as a coach! Her neuroscience-led approach to personal development does not just teach you good habits to improve your approach to work; it also gives you a deeper understanding of how your brain works. This allows for further progress to be made independently, by giving you an awareness of how to guide your brain towards better thought patterns.

Bruna's style of questioning and encouragement of introspection helped me to find the answers to my questions myself, which helped me to remember the information better and made it more impactful. It feels like a collaborative session, rather than a lecture.

I have found that I leave work every day with a much kinder perspective on how my day went, which has really boosted my confidence. I also feel less dread about busy periods at work, and take challenges in my stride.

Glenda Scantlebury

Learning Development Consultant at Ministry of Justice UK

"In just 6 sessions this enlightening transformation has had a brilliant impact on both my personal life and my career."


Bruna has helped me to see my life’s opportunities through a whole new and exciting prism. Unknown issues that were holding me back have been exposed and dealt with. In just 6 sessions this enlightening transformation has had a brilliant impact on both my personal life and my career.

Ciarae Schumann

Director, Customer Success Enablement at Salesforce

"Bruna has such a depth of knowledge of how the brain works, and I think this is what makes her such an effective coach."


I was lucky enough to be matched with Bruna for coaching recently and have enjoyed our sessions immensely. I'm not new to coaching, but I have never come across a better coach than Bruna.

The biggest breakthrough for me was exploring my unique gifts and understanding how these can be used as a lens through which to decide the next step in my career journey. Bruna has such a depth of knowledge into how the brain works, and I think this is what makes her such an effective coach.

I learnt so much from our sessions. I'd recommend Bruna to anyone who is looking to explore the next step in their career or work through finding their purpose.

Magdalena Brzezinska

Senior Brand & Marketing Expert at Solarisbank AG

"Her passion for neuroscience, combined with broad psychological knowledge, make her method powerful yet incredibly practical."


Coaching sessions with Bruna have been a wonderful experience from day one. Her passion for neuroscience, combined with broad psychological knowledge, make her method powerful yet incredibly practical. I left each session feeling energized and having a clear plan for the next steps towards my goal. Throughout the process, I understood more about myself and got free from some of my limiting thought patterns and habits. I would highly recommend Bruna to anyone looking to elevate their professional and personal journey.

David De Valera

Senior Sales Manager, UK&I at Google

"Bruna has a vast knowledge of the science of the brain, human emotions, career challenges and opportunities."


I had a fantastic experience working with Bruna over a 3 month period in 2022. She has a vast knowledge of the science of the brain, human emotions, career challenges and opportunities and tied these together to help me learn more about myself and create an exciting route forward in my career. I couldn't recommend Bruna any higher. Especially if you are looking to learn more about yourself, your values or your future career path.

Mohammed Majid

Founder and Managing partner at M² Advisory, Former CFO At Creative Artists Agency International

"She became a genuinely trusted voice during one of the most consequential periods of my career."


I came to Bruna somewhat skeptical. I'm wired for data and rigor, and felt I should be able to work through the areas I needed to improve myself - executive coaching was something for other people. What changed that immediately was my first session with Bruna.

Her approach is grounded in neuroscience and genuinely analytical, but combined with a deep understanding of the human impact: no clichés, no banal pep talks, just a structured, intelligent process that made sense to me from the start. Over more than a year together, she helped me understand how my own brain works, and that self-awareness became the foundation for navigating a significant professional crossroads: whether to step away from a conventional career path and back myself to build something of my own.

She is warm and deeply empathetic, but she also challenges you consistently and constructively, which is the combination that actually moves you forward. She became a genuinely trusted voice during one of the most consequential periods of my career, and I left every session with something I could act on.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bruna, particularly for those who look at things through an analytical lens and benefit from a scientific approach to coaching.

Harry Norman

Legal technology and Innovator

"Bruna helped me channel what was important to me."


I was stuck in a sales loop without the direction I needed in order to get out. I knew it wasn't the right career for me but had no idea where to look! Bruna helped me channel what was important to me; my core values, passions, and skills, as well as expand my knowledge and expertise of CV building, interview techniques, and identify and overcome my weaknesses. Bruna's methods are clear and easy to follow. Bruna is professional, friendly, and has a ton of knowledge she's willing to share in order to help you achieve your career goals.

Pooja Vatas

Lead Retinal Nurse

"Working with Bruna was life-changing for me and it gave me such direction and purpose to make a change in the direction that makes me happy!"


I needed to discover my purpose and understand what career change route would be best for me and nothing had worked so far. From the initial sessions, I felt a real connection with Bruna and I felt she really understood my needs and encouraged me to come to terms with my own limiting beliefs. After a few sessions (some full of happy tears) I reached a point of really feeling like I knew myself and that was the biggest takeaway for me. I needed to connect with my values instead of CV-ready skills and Bruna provided a great way to do that. Working with Bruna was life-changing for me and it gave me such direction and purpose to make a change in the direction that makes me happy!

"Instead of feeling trapped in a cage, I now feel that I am in command of my life."


I attended a talk by Bruna, and then decided to work with her for 3 months. I’s been an intense and highly rewarding process and I feel that the work that I’ve done has equipped me with a set of powerful instruments that I can use to build a better professional life for myself (including a practical toolbox to deal with moments of doubts). My main takeaway from Bruna’s talk was that any satisfying career-change (one that would make me happy) needed to be deeply rooted in my own values and dreams. This sounded meaningful and got my attention. And the first steps of the work consisted in a process of reconnection with exactly that – the dreams I did not even dare to consider as actual possibilities – and then giving myself the liberty of saying it aloud, expressing clearly what I wanted for myself. This in itself was quite intense and it felt joyfully liberating. But that was just the starting point: with Bruna’s encouragements, I then worked on refining a clear vision of my ideal situation and – quite importantly – on designing a practical strategy to achieve my objectives. In between the sessions, was intense work guided by reading material, exercises and workbooks. At the end of these 3 months with my coach, I have found myself ready to engage in the realisation of my professional dream. I am very happy to have this reconnection with my creative and imaginative self, and I feel capable of turning my vision into reality. Instead of feeling trapped in a cage, I now feel that I am in command of my life. I’m deeply satisfied with the experience of being coached by Bruna and feel grateful for her guidance and help.

"Bruna’s knowledge and ability to show me how the problems I was having trying to change my career were rooted in how the human brain functions."


I would thoroughly recommend working with Bruna for anyone who is having trouble figuring out their career trajectory, which was my issue. Working with Bruna was so much fun and I looked forward to my classes with her. However, I also learnt so much about myself and my mind. I was so impressed by Bruna’s knowledge and ability to show me how the problems I was having trying to change my career were rooted in how the human brain functions. Thanks to Bruna, I now have a career path that I know will bring me fulfilment and satisfaction, as well as knowledge of how to get on that career path.

"Through Bruna's science-based coaching, I have managed to understand myself better, communicate better, and prioritize better"


I started working with Bruna during a challenging time. I was juggling too many hats and had a tough time with time management and prioritization. Through Bruna's science-based and directive, yet open coaching, I have managed to understand myself better, communicate better, and prioritize better. I can highly recommend reaching out to Bruna if you feel stuck, want to learn about yourself, and develop your skills. I have always left Bruna's coaching sessions feeling better than before and more focused and engaged

Ilaria Cascone

"Bruna showed me how strong I am and how strong I have been so far, I didn’t even realise it till I met her."


I’ve met Bruna when I needed it the most. I’ve found in her a very competent coach with a kind heart and very easy to talk to. At the end of every session, I was leaving that cosy room full of energy and aware of something new about myself. Bruna helped me to go through my past and finally embrace it for what it was and being able to learn from it, and not let it be in charge of my future as well. Bruna showed me how strong I am and how strong I have been so far, I didn’t even realise it till I met her. Today I am celebrating myself every time I am accomplishing a task to make a commitment to myself. Meeting Bruna was a blessing to me and the decision of starting this journey with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Bruna has really changed my life, in a good way.

"My customized CV was selected among 400 applicants for a role!"


Changing a career is never easy, and it might be particularly tricky in the current economic climate. However, the pandemic could also be the best time to re-evaluate and ask yourself what's your 'Why".
Bruna's coaching helped me to become more focused on my job search and increased my confidence in the interviews. Also, my customized CV was selected among 400 applicants for a role!
She has not only shared insider tips on recruitment but also helped me to improve my mindset. Her infectious enthusiasm enabled me to stay positive at a difficult time, while her coaching techniques backed up in NLP and neuroscience increased my resilience and persuasive skills. Huge thanks, Bruna!

"Bruna had the power really to change my entire life."


It’s a cliché, but Bruna had the power really to change my entire life using all her knowledge, professionalism and her great passion and belief in what she does… I’d recommend her to everyone; try her sessions and you’ll see your dreams come true.

Working with Bruna helped me grow, be more strategic, challenge myself, and assess the way I looked at my career and work. It was a truly worthwhile investment that will pay back itself many times over. I definitely recommend Bruna to someone considering a career change or someone looking to maximise their potential.

"She really helps you to connect with your feelings, your unique gifts, strengths"


If you are unhappy in your work or looking to shift career but don’t know how to start, I highly recommend working with Bruna. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I made. She really helps you to connect with your feelings, your unique gifts, strengths – and working with her has given me confidence and a compass for making decisions that are right for me. Bruna is super friendly and supportive and her knowledge of neuroscience and psychology helped me understand my own thinking patterns in a new way.

"Bruna's expertise and dedication have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth."


Bruna has been an invaluable mentor and coach, guiding me through various aspects of my life and helping me achieve newfound clarity and purpose.

Working with Bruna, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, exploring my core values and identifying what truly ignites my passion in the workplace. Through her guidance, I uncovered the activities that allow me to enter a state of flow, learned effective time management, and discovered strategies to understand the importance of nurturing and maintaining my professional network.

The most significant appreciation I have for Bruna is her ability to help me extract the utmost value from each day, leading to a profound sense of satisfaction in both my personal and professional life. Her coaching sessions were instrumental in my realization that I had not been investing in myself adequately. Through our work together, I gained insights into my true self and a clearer understanding of my aspirations in life and my career.

One of the most transformative aspects of Bruna's coaching was her emphasis on making intentional decisions. Instead of making career moves for the sake of it, I learned to set deliberate, purpose-driven goals and strategies to progress from point A to point B. Bruna encouraged me to verbalize my dreams for my future self, helping me identify my strengths and areas that required more focus and development.

Bruna introduced a structured approach, helped me to build a list of activities for me to track my progress, ensuring I remained on course, and helping me pinpoint areas where I needed to refocus my efforts. This method proved to be a valuable tool for self-reflection, allowing me to identify and address any challenges I faced.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Bruna as a coach to anyone seeking guidance, self-discovery, and transformation. Her expertise and dedication have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life. I have no doubt that she can inspire and guide others to reach their full potential and lead a more fulfilling life.

"Her positive energy and valuable tools helped the team to step up."


I had the luxury of having Bruna as an external coach for my team this year with the intent of giving them a different perspective on how to embrace change and make the most out of it.

Her positive energy and valuable tools helped the team to step up and reflect on both personal and professional aspects which created a positive vibe and enthusiasm I can see reflected in their daily attitude at work.

I believe that Bruna is an incredible professional and I would highly recommend her.

"Bruna's expertise in understanding how the brain works is truly remarkable."


I had the privilege of working with Bruna, and I can confidently say that her expertise in understanding how the brain works is truly remarkable. Her deep knowledge in this area has been instrumental in helping me excel in my work.

Bruna helped me to improve my work performance by teaching me how to focus better, manage my time more effectively, and deal with stress more effectively. She also helped me to develop effective strategies for achieving my goals.

One of the things I appreciate most about her is that she is always willing to go the extra mile for her clients. She is also very supportive and encouraging. I am confident that she can help anyone achieve their goals, no matter how big or small they may be.

I highly recommend Bruna to anyone seeking a coach who not only knows the science behind the brain but also knows how to translate that knowledge into practical, actionable strategies for success. Working with her has been a game-changer for me, and I'm truly grateful for her expertise and guidance.

"Bruna has a special talent to scale you up in ways that every leader needs."


The entire experience was highly positive but Bruna’s personality was what made the whole process really memorable: she’s highly intelligent, very adaptable and incredibly passionate about seeing others get to that ‘aha’ moment. Throughout our coaching sessions, I was always at ease and I was buzzing at the end of each session. Anyone who works with her can be assured that she will put you first, REALLY listen to you especially to what you haven’t said out loud. Bruna has a special talent to scale you up in ways that every leader needs.

"Bruna's personalized coaching integrated with neuroscience significantly boosted my personal and professional growth."


I highly recommend Bruna De Palo as an excellent executive coach. During our journey, I experienced a significant "push" in my personal growth, both personally and professionally.

I particularly appreciated her profound willingness to listen and understand, offering personalized coaching strongly integrated with neuroscience: the targeted planning of the coaching journey helped me face work and life challenges, while the tools shared (methods, newsletters, planning solutions) improved my self-confidence and consequently my management of work and personal life.

Thank you Bruna for the seriousness, empathy, and competence, and the approach your coaching has had on my professional and personal life.

Sara Dance

"I am a completely different person from when I began this journey."


Working with Bruna has been life-changing. I am a completely different person from when I began this journey. I highly recommend her for being transformational.

She provided a positive challenge and was a joy to work with. She supported me in addressing what was holding me back and letting it go. It turned out to be part career coaching and part life coaching, it was incredibly powerful.

Coaching is the best investment you will ever make in yourself. I now have a completely different life, and it’s one I didn’t even know I wanted.

Dora Ceroni

"Bruna leads by example, and I found her enthusiasm and dedication"


Bruna is terrific to work with and has unique insights in leadership development. Her hands-on approach to coaching and training earned the admiration of the whole cohort during our training program.


Bruna leads by example, and I found her enthusiasm and dedication, both inspiring and motivating. Her vast expertise in behavioural change and a wide range of related subjects helped me approach my personal and professional life with a new, more empowering perspective. I now lead authentically and feel more in control, more fulfilled and more productive.


I appreciated that she equipped us with smart, customised tools and made the whole program a pleasure to attend, and I can't wait to work with her again.

"I can whole heartedly say that her support has made me a better leader and I am still feeling encouraged to push to my fullest potential."


Bruna gave me tools I needed to find my confidence as a leader. Bruna's coaching empowered me to push past my comfort levels and discover what I was really capable of! Her warm and welcoming coaching style helped me really trust that she had my best interest at heart.

She challenged me and very thoughtfully adapted to my coaching needs and helped me understand my strengths, skills and values through her approach on science of the brain utilizing various brain models to support my development. I enjoyed every single session with her and feel very privileged to have been able to meet and learn from her.

I can whole heartedly say that her support has made me a better leader and I am still feeling encouraged to push to my fullest potential.

Licia Liguori

Legal Director - Head of Legal at Avanade

"Working with her has been one of the best things I have ever done."


I started my journey with Bruna because I was in a moment of professional dissatisfaction, and I wanted to understand what was not working.

The goal was to find out what were the skills and abilities that belonged to me in order to understand how to change / evolve my career.


I tried several coaches with poor results before meeting Bruna, and what distinguished her was the use of key tools (like the mind mapping tool/inner compass) that guided me along the path of personal discovery.
Bruna helped me to identify my gifts and my values in order to be able to make the best use of them in my current job or in another one. She helped me to connect with myself.

By following this path, I now have a greater clarity on who I am and what I want and what I can achieve. But above all, I discovered what really satisfies me. She helped me to understand that only by living life through one's gifts and values I can live an authentic life. At the end of the journey, I realized what my mission is, and how to make it happen. In addition to this, Bruna helped me to understand that some of my characteristics that I was told were inappropriate are actually my strengths that distinguish me.

After taking this coaching path, I am more aware of who I am, what my talents are, and I am more confident in myself.
Working with her has been one of the best things I have ever done. She changed my life for the better!

Alex Huntsman

Partnership Development Executive at LiveSmart

"Bruna has been a fantastic career change coach, whose energy will naturally push you into another gear."


Bruna has been a fantastic career change coach, whose energy will naturally push you into another gear.

She asks wonderfully challenging questions that will get you thinking about who you are, what your gifts are, and what your core values are.

Not only did I really enjoy working with Bruna as a person, but she has helped me discover the paths I would like to lead – not just in my career but in life.

Thank you for all the time you have spent on me.

Ed Ormerod

Manager of Global Sustainability at Swagelok

"It was great working with Bruna because she is so personable and genuinely understands the significance of making decisions aligned with who you are."


I engaged with Bruna as a specialist coach to work on navigating uncertainty.

It was great working with Bruna because she is so personable and genuinely understands the significance of making decisions aligned with who you are.

We worked on a challenging and in-depth set of exercises during the coaching to understand what’s important to me and who I am. This seems like a very basic task; however, the work that Bruna got me to do was far from simple or basic and involved various exercises, including reaching out for feedback from some surprising sources. Ultimately, I now have a much clearer idea of which decisions are likely to be the most fruitful and sustainable in my work and personal life.

Emma Graham

Head of Project Management at Awin

"Bruna helped anchor my emotions and behaviour to patterns of the brain."


I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Bruna on my personal development. Recently promoted to Head of Project Management, I was facing challenges with establishing my authority and feeling secure as a new leader.

In our conversations, Bruna helped anchor my emotions and behaviour to patterns of the brain, helping me to connect to the reasons why I respond the way I do under stress and in high-stakes scenarios.

We worked on techniques to develop my confidence, reflecting on my experience to establish why I have a seat at the table and how I can create an environment of reward and success for my team. After our 9-month journey, I'm a more empowered leader and leave with a suite of tools to lean so I can now continue my development on my own.

Hester Lyne

HR Business Partner at BP

"Bruna's theoretical knowledge of brain science made me notice a difference in how I approach work."


Bruna acted as my coach for a short while and her practical skills in coaching and theoretical knowledge of the brain science meant I really noticed a difference in how I approached my work and productivity, engaging stakeholders and showing up at home. Fantastic coach!

Paul Smith

Vice President at BP

"Bruna bases her sessions around Neuroscience and this really worked for me as I was able to clearly understand the factual side of what we were doing."


I cannot recommend Bruna highly enough; she has made a huge difference for me.

Working with Bruna I came to accept the things I was actually good at, and be confident enough to be proud of these things, whilst also working on my development areas. Bruna helped me structure a clear plan to achieve what I wanted - most importantly this wasn't following a 'rent-a-plan' approach. Bruna listened to my experience and together we built a set of objectives for our coaching sessions and structured the whole plan around that.

Each session was thought-provoking and helped me find several transformational shifts in mindset and approach. Bruna bases her sessions around neuroscience and this really worked for me as I was able to clearly understand the factual side of what we were doing - none of what we covered ever felt like buzzwords but instead was all actionable and routed in things I could see in my real life.

As a result the coaching sessions have made an impact on both my professional and personal life. I'm also much happier with my professional 'path' and understand better how I add value. It was a pleasure to work with Bruna and I will definitely work with her again at some point.

Davinia Bascombe

Career Consultant at UCLAN London: Championing Employability and Engagement in Education and Beyond

"The energy, commitment and attention brought to her life coaching sessions through Seven Career Coaching was impressive"


Bruna was the unofficial campaign manager behind the 'Davinia' Re-Brand. Fact.

The energy, commitment and attention brought to her coaching sessions was impressive, debunking several myths of mine, a few of which included; value is monetary, experience is essential and CVs are autobiographical (I talk about myself).

Post debunking, I realised that my personal milestones, traits and their impact personally and professionally, were/are to be celebrated.

Taking the time to step back and assess my worth has brought me many steps closer to realising my goals and I thank Bruna endlessly for making that happen.

Donato Gabriele Francavilla

Senior Software Engineer - EF Education First

"For the first time I saw my true self"


The one to one sessions with Bruna are a life changer. She helped unveil all the layers of my personality which I have buried for years. By peeling off each layer I discovered a new person, different in many ways from what I have always thought.

For the first time I saw my true self, somebody that I knew was inside me and that I needed to meet with the guide of a savvy coach. I am very happy I made this choice.

Paul Barksdale

Building Services Manager

"She listens to what you have to say and shows the ultimate respect for your feelings."


Bruna is so pleasant to talk to, and it is so easy to take directions from her and fulfil tasks. She listens to what you have to say and shows the ultimate respect for your feelings. She does not judge, which makes a world of difference to folks who need to express how they are feeling and why they feel the way they do. Bruna is genuinely fantastic!

Andrew Sparry

Director, UK Cyber at Capital One

"Her approach is evidence-based, and science led, which is absolutely aligned with my wants and needs."


I’ve felt enormously privileged to have had Bruna as a leadership coach over the last 12 months. Her approach is evidence-based, and science led, which is absolutely aligned with my wants and needs. Each engagement and item of work made sense and was clearly linked to a cohesive plan which was updated regularly. Bruna’s depth of knowledge, particularly around cutting edge thinking is impressive, and she was consistent in bringing innovative approaches to the dilemmas and problems I shared with her. Perhaps most importantly, I was quickly able to build a strong trust-based relationship with Bruna, which led to valuable discussions and work on areas that were both challenging and sensitive. She was able to tap into my motivations and values and transform the view I had of myself and the leadership challenges I faced. I highly recommend Bruna to those who are ready to take the next step in their leadership growth.

Put yourself in her hands and she will dig out your truest potential – although you may not have realised it yourself – bring it to the light and set you on the path of your own fulfilment. She is a bright bright soul, so very generous without being complaisant. She is incredibly respectful of your own needs and wishes and tailors her vision to what suits you. She is so committed to her own expertise in finding fulfilling careers for her clients that you will be greeted with a wealth of knowledge you did not know you needed.

Claudio Antonini

Career Coach

"I wanted to quit the finance world, but after 10 years I was scared, hesitant, and demotivated."


My career change coaching journey with Bruna has been the best investment I have made in my career. I highly recommend her!

When I reached out to Bruna, I was lost. I knew I wanted to quit the finance world, but after 10 years I was scared, hesitant, and demotivated. With her contagious energy and enthusiasm, Burna helped me figure out who I am, what I want from my career, and what my assets are. The result was that I changed careers confidently and seamlessly.

Fast forward four months and I have started my own business in a new country. It took me four months to achieve something I didn't even believe I could have done at all! In every session, she gently challenged my perspective on how I see things. The result was that I improved my self-awareness, took responsibility for my career and took more bold actions to achieve my goals.

Short term quick wins triggered bolder actions and more results, which led me to my final goal: changing career and country in 2021. Thank you Bruna, I love working with you!

Marianna Guglielmino

Professional Coach and customer success manager

"Little I knew that I would have learnt so much about how the mind works."


Working with Bruna has been the best decision I could make before going back to work after my maternity leave. I thought working with a career coach would have helped me figure out my next career move. Little I knew that I would have learnt so much about how the mind works, what my values are and how important it is to “bring who you are into what you do”. Once I started listening to my intuitions and overcoming my own self-limiting beliefs, I made peace with myself, and I realized that the answers I was looking for were already right there in front of me!
Thanks to Bruna, I have now a set of tools and skills I can always rely on before taking any decision, not only for my career but, in general, for my life. So empowering and liberating!

Riccardo​​​​ Ambrogio

"Understanding how our mind reacts to stimuli has been very helpful."


I recently followed a personalised coaching program with Bruna and found it very beneficial.

Bruna is a very attentive executive coach who provided me with numerous insights on how to improve my interaction with colleagues and clients, thus making my professional approach more effective. She helped me better understand the importance of neuroscience applied to daily challenges, both big and small, at work and in personal life. Understanding how our mind reacts to stimuli has been very helpful in approaching daily challenges with fresh eyes and improving relationships with those around me. With Bruna, I realised the importance of effective communication that takes into account the emotions of others.

"I found her approach to be practical, insightful, and tailored to my unique needs."


I must say that my experience with Bruna was absolutely wonderful. She helped me elevate my work performance and well-being through neuroscience-based coaching.

I gained a lot of insights into how the brain works and how to leverage its power to enhance my work performance and personal life. I found her approach to be practical, insightful, and tailored to my unique needs.

I would highly recommend Bruna De Palo as an excellent executive coach.

Tom Ellis

"She introduced me to new ways I should interpret my thoughts and ideas that gave me clarity."


In a very short time, she completely changed the way I thought about myself, my career and what was important to me as a human being. I thoroughly recommend working with Bruna to anyone that feels stuck or looking to make significant changes in how they view their current career or life paths.

Bruna’s fantastic knowledge and background in neuroscience, combined with her ability to quickly understand and identify my challenges in a personable manner, quickly made me realise what I was missing in life and the direction I really wanted to go.

She introduced me to new ways I should interpret my thoughts and ideas that gave me clarity whilst framing the difference between being a human ‘doing’ and a human ‘being’.

Karen Calvert

"Working with Bruna has been a journey filled with a-ha moments for me."

I have grown as an empowered leader leaning into my values while I move forward in my career. Bruna’s coaching style is flexible and she gently guides you along the way. I highly recommend her.

Ana Rodriguez

Team Manager

"I worked with Bruna when I was going through a very difficult period. Bruna completely changed my perspective."


I worked with Bruna when I was going through a very difficult period. Bruna completely changed my perspective. It wasn’t about the promise that I would immediately get a job after the sessions, but rather about changing my mindset, my approach to my current role and my ability to choose the right opportunity for me.

Fast forward a few months later, I was offered a role in a fantastic company as a Social Media Executive!

Due to the current period of uncertainty, the offer has been postponed until further notice, but the important thing is that I learned how to screen the jobs myself, not the other way around. I made the applications to jobs and knew were good for ME, not just making sure that I was right for IT.

I definitely encourage working with Bruna, because it definitely pays off, but only if you work TOGETHER! Thank you so much, Bruna

Hollie Smith

Senior Marketing Manager, Global at Topia

"I left each session feeling elevated, I would highly recommend Bruna!"


Bruna is a fantastic leadership and career coach!

She is extremely personable and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with her. Bruna helped me unlock certain habits that were inflicting self-doubt and causing me irritation in both my career and personal life.

I discovered a lot about myself during our sessions and in completing the self-reflection activities I was set; I left each session feeling elevated, I would highly recommend Bruna!

Alex Lambert

Sr. SE Manager - UKI Enterprise Accounts - Snowflake

"She provided me with a scientific and methodical approach to building out mine and my teams goals."


Bruna was my professional coach for over 12 months and it was an amazing experience - I'd never had a professional coach before and I just wish I'd done it sooner. She provided me with a scientific and methodical approach to building out my and my team's goals and helped me develop techniques in delivering feedback in a constructive and effective manner. She helped me build out my own value structure, goals and professional and personal compass and mapped on to those neuroscientific elements on how people feel, react and gain insights in certain situations. We formed a close professional bond, she challenged me, she supported me and she coached me into a better professional. We will work again in the future for sure ...... She's also awesome and that helped too! Good luck Bruna. Grazie mille!!

Doris O.

Professor at Oxford University

"I love that Bruna goes the extra mile for you. It’s a great feeling to know how invested she is in your progress."


I was at a career change juncture with various options. I needed clarity and perspective on the way forward.
The inner work was the most enjoyable part of the process, particularly the focus on raising the bar and paying attention to the image you have of yourself. I did roll my eyes initially, thinking it was all cliché but Bruna’s approach is scientific and brain-based. And, the fact really is that you cannot rise above your self-image and your limiting beliefs. While Bruna’s methods appealed to my intellectual side, it was a great combination of heart and mind. There really were no cliches and banal pep talks. Bruna knows her stuff and obviously has extensive experience working with different kinds of people from different backgrounds. As such, she is able to connect and relate with you based on your lived realities. Each session inspired a shift towards clarity and greater confidence in my abilities. I gained greater insights into how my mind works and how not to be trapped in the loop of self-doubt.

I’ve had layers of outcomes. The career part was sorted successfully as I am now in a job that works for me. But it doesn’t end with getting in. Career progression is a process and one continues to figure it out with the same commitment. The sessions with Bruna remain valuable in how I approach my work and goals. The most interesting outcome for me is the tools. How to stay motivated and confident. Never underestimate that little thing called self-image. It’s the make or break.

Plus Bruna is kind! She is definitely great at what she does. She understands that each person and each situation is different so there is no sense of “I’ve seen it all.” I especially like how she manages the sessions and always steers me towards the present. It’s a skill I have adopted for myself too because it’s easy to sit on mistakes or on the past and lose sight of the way forward. I love that Bruna goes the extra mile for you. It’s a great feeling to know how invested she is in your progress.

Geena Sharma

Operations Coordinator at Everlight Radiology

"Definitely, the best decision I have taken for my career."


At the start of the pandemic, I was facing the issue like many others of uncertainty, realisation and the desire to start taking action. I was paired up with Bruna and instantly shared a comfort level with her.

She showed interest in every conversation we had. She truly made me feel that I am in control and I can make the change. Together we explored many areas and identified where and how I can take control. I had many ‘oh yeah, that makes so much more sense, now’.

I have received so many explanations that I was searching for. These coaching sessions have allowed me to meet myself and identify that I can achieve a lot more. I am now using her guidance when applying for roles. I am so grateful to have gone on a journey with Bruna.

Definitely, the best decision I have taken for my career.

Oluwakemi Soremekum

"Her skill at helping with the change process has been invaluable and I would heartily recommend her"


Inspiring, transformative and most of all practical are some of the words that come to mind when I think about my sessions with Bruna. I can truly say my coaching sessions with her have helped me to find a way to implement the change I want.

I’ve been particularly impressed by Bruna’s approach to untying some of the knotty issues that have been plaguing me for years.

At a time when I’ve been looking to do some career pivots, working with Bruna has been really useful, giving me a fresh perspective on what I’ve been doing and new ideas for the future. She was encouraging, but also challenging, which was the perfect combination to help me progress. Her understanding of the wider career world – and what approach works well in it – was incredibly helpful. I really enjoyed the coaching!

Barbara Rocci

Owner of Time to be Italian - Italian Teacher

"I am not new with coaching sessions but she surprised me, she is different."


I asked Bruna for some help to clarify some new ideas I had and a new path I wanted to take in the near future regarding my career. I was extremely surprised by Bruna's professionalism and preparation. I am not new with coaching sessions but she surprised me, she is different. Very thoughtful, and incredibly good listener, and a talented coach. What has surprised me is the way she was able first to listen, and then understand me, plus the fact that she gave me very practical suggestions, good examples to compare my situation and to work with. After the session, I really felt I received help and that I had "tools" to start to make the first step towards my goal. I will certainly recommend Bruna and I am looking forward to our next session.

Bruna has dynamic energy which is inspiring and motivating.

Her confidence was truly uplifting; she guided me through a reassuringly simple but effective structure, which left me with crystal clear next steps. She was great at listening with compassion, but gently bringing me back to the structure to ensure I met my objectives for the session.

I would recommend Bruna as a Coach, as she is truly passionate about helping people achieve their dreams.

Thank you, Bruna!

"I firmly believe in the power of self-improvement and growth, and working with a coach like Bruna will surely help you take the following steps in your leadership journey!"


I recently had the opportunity to participate in a coaching program through my organization. While I think curiosity initially led me to sign up, the entire experience opened my eyes to the power of coaching. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and I cannot thank Bruna enough for her role as my coach in this journey.

She helped me look at problems differently, expand my knowledge, and grow my leadership toolkit. After reading Bruna’s bio, I was intrigued by the approach she takes, leveraging studies in neuroscience to gain a deeper understanding of what underpins human interaction. Not only did our sessions educate me on the latest research, but Bruna also provided me with techniques to improve communication and set the stage for positive interactions.

I found it highly beneficial (and therapeutic) to talk with Bruna about issues I was facing at work. It always seemed that what she was recommending to read or what we were discussing provided insight into the issue at hand. I entered the program wanting to improve my ability to give feedback. While difficult conversations and feedback can be challenging, Bruna helped me better understand what is going on in the brain in those situations and how to use that knowledge to communicate effectively and achieve the desired outcome.

I firmly believe in the power of self-improvement and growth, and working with a coach like Bruna will surely help you take the following steps in your leadership journey!

My time with Bruna has been transformational. Her methods and approach make you really dig deep and ultimately make you realise things which you would have never been able to visualise or even articulate, not just for your career but for your life and overall well-being. She does all of this with a gentle, warm and fun approach. I recommend Bruna to anyone who is seeking clarity and support towards their career goals and life. Molto grazie, Bruna!

A master in the art of listening, of silence, and of knowing how to ask the right questions at the right moment.

What convinced me to start coaching was curiosity; what guided me was her expertise; what truly confirmed it for me was that, after every session, I felt I had rediscovered a part of myself and could grow.

Amy Holdsworth

Talent Acquisition Manager at Zen Educate

"The results have been consistently visible from day one"


Bruna has been instrumental in improving my confidence in my job, and in the transition to working more independently at home.

She is extremely flexible with her coaching style depending on my ever-changing needs, always able to bring structure to conversations when I was feeling flustered, which really helped me to get control of the situation and move forwards in every session.

She combines a consultative, supportive, genuine friend-like approach with a very impressive knowledge of human behaviour and the science of the brain. I could not recommend Bruna’s programme more highly; she has transformed the way I think about work and how it fits into my life goals more widely.

The results have been consistently visible from day one, right up to a year later, and I feel sure I will continue to reap the benefits of these sessions in years to come, now that I have frameworks to fall back on to tackle any issue and a much better understanding of my own values, motivators and psychology.

"Bruna encouraged me to really understand a way forward and to realise and follow my true passion."


I met Bruna when I was made redundant, and at the time I was very unsure what to do next.
I have a very mixed CV with several different career paths along the way because I love to learn new things.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next, and with each session, I had with Bruna she encouraged me to really understand a way forward and to realise and follow my true passion.
I am now in my dream job and have never been happier.

Bruna is a wonderful career coach. Her attentiveness and conscious way of approaching you make you feel relaxed as if you were speaking with a friend. She assures you to openly discuss your thoughts and feelings about work and even your personal life. Her ability to lead you to the moment of revelation is impressive. Her knowledge and guidance with the tasks, and the information she provided, helped me positively self-reflect. I am now moving forward in my life with confidence.

"She guided me through very practical exercises which helped me to solve problems and think in a very different and effective way."


It's not an understatement to say that my work with Bruna was life-changing. I was immediately impressed with her science-based approach to helping me understand how my brain functions and how this was keeping me stuck in my career. She guided me through very practical exercises which helped me to solve problems and think in a very different and effective way. I found her energy and unique approach to be a powerful combination, which has also helped me in my life outside work.
