ELINA STAMOU

CO-FOUNDER AND COACHING DIRECTOR

Born a rebel, according to my Greek mama! I am an activist at heart - as a person, executive leader and coach.

My driving force is a deep sense of social justice, working with communities for social change and supporting people to lead fulfilling lives, true to who they are and their dreams.

As an activist campaigner, youth leader and then trainer, executive leader, CEO, Board member and coach, I have always worked to make a difference - for people and organisations.  

Leading, transforming and growing people, teams and operational environments across a range of organisational realities for over 25 years, I’m well versed in the challenges and opportunities of our complex and fast changing world. Especially as my commitment has always been creating and nurturing human-centric cultures and practice with kindness, growth mindset, authenticity and meaningful collaboration. Tremendous learning, personal and professional growth has come from that – both as a coach leader and an executive coach.

A few years ago, my rethinking life and work led to creating space for my coaching practice and growth. I have loved working with other executives and leaders, supporting their journey to human-centric working, across the not-for-profit and corporate sectors. 

I look forward to working with you!

MATTEO VIOLI

CO-FOUNDER AND ACADEMY DIRECTOR

My career path has been proudly unconventional.

I started as a street performer with a punk rock attitude and grew into a training and organisational development executive – with punk rock still in my ears and in my heart!  

Nothing tests your ingenuity like a live performance. Prepare, rehearse, connect with the people around you. Checking what works, learn and adapt while having fun!

That experience has inspired and informed my training and organisational development work ever since, bringing that creative energy, flexibility, resilience and fun in our workplaces.

I’m passionate about developing people and teams in innovative, creative and fulfilling ways, transforming high potential to great impact.

Working across the not-for-profit and corporate sectors, I bring to you 25 years of practice as a learning and talent management executive, OD professional and coach.

My focus is helping people and teams grow, work at their best and meet their goals and aspirations by developing skills, culture and practice that makes the most of authenticity, creativity and meaningful collaboration. 

I look forward to working with you!
