Empathy, Enthusiasm and Courage

The paths of life extend nonlinearly. We can imagine them as circles connecting the steps of our lives. This full circle is the point at which we find our determination and our mission of life.

What Shapes Me

My name is Eleonora Bonacossa and with ARETA new perspectives for leaders, I have been called to this new vocation with empathy, enthusiasm and courage.

With ARETA I am realizing the vocation of my life, to help form and educate new leaders in this era of global changes. My goal is to contribute actively in establishing a values-driven business culture. And I see myself in the role of a Leadership Educator, an Encourager and Supporter, who brings out and fully develops your talents. I strongly support the communicative practice of giving and receiving Feedback in any kind of organization.

ARETA forms the sum of my experiences as a publicist, a humanist, a business coach, a management consultant, a sparring partner and a woman. As an Italian living in Germany, I am aware of working on a cultural background -characterized by an innate sense of beauty, a deep sense of ethics and a strong sense of creativity- that allows me to see and consider the relationships in management free from rigid, traditional patterns.
