LIFE COACHING
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
Life coaching is a professional partnership focused on helping individuals achieve personal and professional growth through guided self-discovery. Unlike traditional advice-giving, life coaching is fundamentally about asking powerful questions that enable clients to uncover their own solutions.
Key Characteristics
- A collaborative relationship between coach and client
- Helps individuals gain clarity about their goals
- Focuses on personal development and overcoming obstacles
- Empowers clients to create actionable plans for change
Strategic partner
A life coach serves as a strategic partner who:
- Asks thought-provoking questions
- Provides accountability
- Supports clients in bridging the gap between their current reality and desired future
Core philosophy
The core philosophy is that clients already possess the wisdom to solve their challenges. A coach’s role is to help them access that internal knowledge through careful questioning, creating a non-judgmental space for exploration and personal transformation.
TESTIMONIALS
«I cherish my friendship with Giona to no end. He has been a voice of reason, a pillar of solace and a cheerleader all in one swoop. He listens but more importantly...he hears! I value his opinion and perspective. He is truly compassionate and his words are rooted in genuine care and love. What more can one ask for??»
Darius, Los Angeles
«At one point in time, I found myself navigating a difficult relationship. He was one of the first people I reached out to. He listened without judgment. He was kind, but also reminded me to be realistic about expectations. He helped make my perspective clear, when it got a little cloudy.»
Darius, Los Angeles
«I had the privilege of having Jonathan as my tutor while studying a supervisory course with my previous employer. He was the first person who created a safe space for me to openly discuss diversity, inclusion, and equity in the workplace—topics I hadn't been deeply exposed to before. It was refreshing and truly eye-opening.»
Haddy, London
«Jonathan’s teaching style made me feel completely at ease, fostering an environment where I could freely express myself and explore complex ideas. He helped me understand that my feelings were valid and consistently encouraged my growth and development.»
Haddy, London
«This is who Jonathan is—a warm, inviting presence who guides you toward the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m confident that his natural ability to connect, inspire, and
empower others will make him an exceptional life coach.»
Haddy, London
«I have been lucky enough to have had Gionatan as my supervisor when I first started my career in Hospitality.
Gionatan was not only a guidance in the work environment, he was a friend and a rock. Have to say, he brings joy and fun in any room. Maybe he didn't know (or maybe he was aware of it) but Gionni was already an inspiring life coach.»
Elisa, London
«His life experiences and his unique personality made him an empathetic human being and a natural listener. Gionatan helped me build my confidence to overcome my work life challenges and helped me starting that process that led to unlock my potential.»

MY APPROACH
What do I mean when I say:
«my values are aligned with my practice»
My coaching is deeply rooted in authenticity, experience, and empathy.
As a parent and adopter, I bring firsthand understanding and support to others in similar situations.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel truly seen and understood.
As a leader and educator, I offer practical, experience-based insights that help leaders grow with confidence.
My coaching is not just about theory, is about real, lived experience that makes my approach relatable, action-driven, and results-focused while ensuring clients feel fully supported and empowered.
My personal and professional experiences directly shape my coaching approach.
