MARCELLA ACCORINTI

Managing Partner
Psychology Graduate – Professional Certificate Coach PCC (Internal Coaching Federation – ICF)

Since 2014, at the end of a coaching master’s degree (ICF-PCC) and certification on a particularly effective diagnostic tool, Marcella Accorinti has decided to combine the roles of Executive Coach and that of Head Hunting, which she had already been practicing for years.

Leveraging on her many years of experience and on the results she achieved using coaching as an empowerment tool, Marcella Accorinti successfully coached leaders and managers of big- and medium-sized companies in their constant evolution, both for individuals and for corporate teams.

A Professional Coach is particularly focused on the following themes:

leadership,
team development and management,
communication skills,
management of the corporate relationships,
conflict management,
motivation of others and self,
emotional and social intelligence,
management of time and stress…

The original approach developed in these interventions, together with clients’ widespread satisfaction, has prompted the decision to create an ad hoc company specialized in coaching.

The vision is expressed and summarized by the name itself, Mindevelopment.

The company has a clear mission: with passion, devotion and constant evolution, it offers a tool for those who decide to embark on a path of personal and professional development.

MARTA GRIVET SER

Business & Career Coach

Professional coach certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and graduated in Foreign Languages and Literatures, she has an experience of more than 20 years as Head of the HR function within international and modernly structured consultancy firms, more recently of the legal field, where she managed and guided cultural changes and business evolutions.

In her professional career, she has managed the set up and development of the HR function in two different firms, as well as several company reorganizations aimed at creating efficiency and added value for the business. She is specialized in and managed several people development and cultural change projects, both at local and international level.

As Business & Career Coach I accompany individuals and organizations in finding/rediscovering that sense of purpose which allows people to unleash their full potential to achieve goals, generate wellbeing and remain centered and focused even in periods of turbulence.

Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn, rather than teaching them.

The two main areas we address in coaching are leadership transition and strategic thinking.
A coach helped me build a path that suits my individual traits, identifying challenges for change, work plans, a constant assessment of results and a method to achieve them in a spontaneous and natural way.
Coaching is an investment in ourselves. It opens us up to new perspectives and breaks through boundaries, removing obstacles and facilitating inclusion. It is therefore essential to be committed, before starting the process, to have clear ideas and devote quality time to the process. Coaches, in turn, must be excellent leaders to obtain good results. In my case, thanks to Marcella, it worked.

E.S.

Coaching with Marcella Accorinti began in the usual way, working on specific professional goals.
Marcella’s professionalism, together with her humanity and talent, created the space for my personal journey, which gradually became more important than my initial professional goal.
The work I did with Marcella turned out to be a multi-year experience that today still accompanies me today in my thoughts and choices.

M.S.

Thanks to the journey undertaken at Mindevelopment with Marcella Accorinti, and which involved the entire front line of the company, both individually and as a team, we have managed to achieve incredible results, both in terms of communication and of collaboration and inclusion.
These behavioural changes have transformed an already well-matched team into a group of people ready to discuss any issue in a transparent manner, respecting the specialists, but also listening to the less experienced on the subject, enriching the level of discussion.
A side effect was the increase in the sense of irony at learning how to “laugh at ourselves” lowered the communication barriers as well.

S.E.

The coaching experience, through real and very often painful and difficult passages, made me understand how it is possible to change and achieve great results at work.
I experimented with approaches and behaviours that weren’t instinctive or natural for me. Doing this with a coach who listens to you and provides feedback in a transparent, sincere and sometimes even ‘ruthless’ way, has given me the strength to ‘try’ and often ‘succeed’.
Without coaching I would not have tried these things, and it would never even have occurred to me to look at my managerial style from a different angle.

A.P.

I started a coaching journey with Marcella thinking that it would be very confrontational. But her coaching has proven to be a true personal and professional empowerment tool.
Over time, a relationship of trust was forged with my coach that exceeded all expectations, and has allowed for increasingly clear and transparent discussion during coaching sessions.
I never expected to start such a profound process of change in terms of behaviour and communication, and now I can apply coaching techniques even in the absence of the Coach

A.S.

The company helmed by Dr. Marcella Accorinti stands out in an original way, both in its diagnostic and operational phases. In our case, there was a dual objective: one, improving our soft managerial skills (e.g. the ability to delegate), and two, strengthen the abilities of the first and second level team members. The great ability to listen and the vast experience of Dr. Accorinti and her associates were met with extremely positive feedback from the managers and made it possible to successfully achieve our set goals. Here the distinction lies in a ‘tailored’ approach to the needs of individual managers, without ever losing the overall cohesion of the project. In short, ours was a particularly positive experience that we recommend to any company interested in the enhancement of their human capital.

V.M.

I had the opportunity to embark on an executive coaching course with Marcella Accorinti as part of a company project. Marcella’s experience and professionalism are highly distinctive and her ability to understand and lead you “to the heart of the matter” are astonishing.
With careful skill, she trained me to exploit my potential, provide focus to my professional career and my expectations for the overall growth of the company.
This will forever remain a point of reference on my professional path. Thank you Marcella!!
