Why Intentionally?
Because moving forward without awareness is moving forward blind. Most people do it. For a long time.
Intentionally, is the choice of the other path — deliberate, with a clear sense of where you're going and why.
Who I am
My name is Emanuela Buccafurri. My starting point is twenty years of expatriation in demanding international environments.
Trained as an engineer at the Politecnico di Torino, PhD from INSA Lyon, I have led teams and projects in complex organisations — navigating scope changes and difficult role transitions.
I was also a Patent Examiner at the European Patent Office in The Hague, in a demanding multilingual and multicultural environment.
I work today in the energy sector, a strategically complex field by nature — which means I know from the inside what corporate life actually demands: tight agendas, political stakes, decisions that can't wait.
I don't observe this world. I still work in it.
This dual perspective — active professional and certified coach — is precisely what allows me to understand my clients without translation.
I have worked in French, English, Italian, Spanish and German: not as language skills, but as daily ways of operating.
I speak your language. I understand your world.
My approach
Every individual and every organisation has a culture. It can be a brake or a strategic lever. Few know how to use it. That's where I come in.
I work to make visible what often stays implicit: why a team makes decisions a certain way, why a manager stalls in a new context, why two merged entities struggle to understand each other.
For organisations, I work on what holds teams back from the inside: unspoken cultural dynamics, deep misalignments, frictions that cost without ever being named.
This work applies to teams. It applies also — and above all — to the person leading them.
A leader in transition rarely navigates just one dimension at a time: their objectives, their cultural references, their power dynamics, and the question of what actually makes sense for them. Sustainable coaching is the kind that works all of these together.
