#5 Alessandra Bortolussi: From driven high-achiever to grounded action by choice

Alessandra is based in Northern Italy, and she worked in corporate finance for 22 years as a dedicated people manager and change agent, before starting her own business as an executive and leadership coach.

Today’s conversation is about giving ourselves permission to be what Alessandra calls “a work in progress”: She talks about her experience of moving away from constantly adapting and trying to live up to others’ expectations, from being driven and pushing for high performance, towards allowing herself to live and lead from a place of choice and grounded action.
