The TED story
I was introduced to TEDx events by Nicoletta Iacobacci, at the time the TEDx Transmedia event curator, in Geneva. As soon as I started my coaching profession, she invited me to coach her speakers at TEDxTransmedia in 2012, thus my involvement in the TEDx community. Since then I've been coaching TEDx speakers for several TEDx events such as TEDX Bergamo, TEDx Cesena; TEDx Porto Antico; TEDx Genova; TEDxCNR: TEDx Novara; TEDx Assisi; TEDx Matera and TED-MED among others. Now I'll be hosting TEDxLucca on Dec 15th 2018.
