MY NEWS ROOM
New Podcast Series: Focus on What Matters
What a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday: launching a podcast series to share tips and stories on how to focus on what matters!
Few months ago, Deborah Fleming MSc and I came up with the idea of humbly serving others by sharing stories from unexpected places from people who do roles very different from environment in organisations to provide tips and inspiration on Focusing On What Matters. It was also the opportunity to learn and to have fun and meet amazing people.
We encourage you to go on a journey of exploration and curiosity with us to discover new ways we can drive growth by focusing on what matters. Search for us - Focus on What Matters - on your favourite podcast or music platform. We hope you are going to enjoy it and we look forward to receiving your feedback and your stories to share.

MOVING FORWARD

He has trained and played together with champions like Ronaldo, Recoba, Vieri and some of the best footballers in the world. He also has an MSc in Sport Management.

PERSEVERANCE AND COLLABORATION

Kirsty Clode is Chair of WiME (Women in Science and Engineering), has a PhD and BSc in Chemistry and an advocate for developing people. The Manufacturing and Engineering sectors have a skills shortage and a lack of diversity - there is a real war for talent and she has used her own experience to help companies to attract more diverse candidates to their organisations. She will talk about collaboration, perseverance and using your networks to overcome blockers to success and her top tips for being confident in your capability.

ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING CONVERSATION I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE
June 5, 2021
Deborah Fleming MSc and I had the privilege and the honour to host Matthew Wiltshire and talk about Living in the Present in this week episode of our Focus on What Matters podcast.
Matt has worked in the tech sector for 30 years, co-founded Source Consulting and become global director in CapGemini.
Matt was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2015, which is now advanced and incurable. Having struggled to find anyone in a similar position he blogged BowelBloke.com as a way to raise awareness of the disease, and to raise funds for charity.
Building on this desire to help men improve their well-being and utilising the entrepreneurial skills and business acumen acquired over his career, he created The Cancer Club.
Matt has a contagious passion for life. His story is compelling with lessons and advices for all of us to Live in the Present and leave a legacy.
Please find the link to listen this episode in the first comment of the post and please consider donating to The Cancer Club.
If you want to make a gift to somebody you love, please share this episode with them so to inspire people to focus on what really matters in life.
God bless you Matt, you are a true leader.
FOCUS ON YOUR PURPOSE IF YOU TO WANT TO RENEW YOURSELF OR YOUR BUSINESS WHILE REMAINING AUTHENTIC
June 20, 2021
Jem Macy, Founder and CEO at Fanciulle Vini, has succeeded to overcome and grow despite several economic crises by keeping on innovating the wine making process staying
focused on her business purpose.
Talking to her, reminded me how I was fortunate in having the opportunity of making wine at home with my dad and my brothers Stefano Contardi and Andrea Contardi. It was genuine fun and a fantastic learning experience every time regardless the quality of the final result :).
It was our family tradition, going on since several generations, which taught me who we are and how much hard work is needed to produce something to be proud of.
My brother Stefano Contardi is keeping the tradition alive.
What is your family tradition? What is your purpose? What would like to renew in your life or business?

RAVE REVIEWS
I was lucky enough to take part in a 12 session coaching course at Asahi, ably led by Fabrizio. Fabrizio was able to very quickly build a culture of trust within the group which allowed us all to have some very powerful coaching experiences over the 4 months that the course ran. Not only did Fabrizio teach us how to coach ourselves, he also coached a number of us on our own goals throughout, and I can vouch for the effectiveness of these sessions. It was extremely well received by myself and my colleagues as well as our coachees who we have worked with both during and after completing the course. I highly recommend Fabrizio as both a coach, and a trainer of coaches.
Dave Horsley
Regional Sales Manager Asahi UK
Fabrizio is a great professional but most of all, a phenomenal listener. Thanks to his vast experience and skills developed over a long career in multinational corporations, he is able to fully dive into his client's business and help them to answer questions and formulate a solid plan of action. A top coach I would not hesitate to recommend.
Mauro Pizzale
Senior Vice President at Jefferies, UK
I first met Fabrizio at a culture development workshop where he was more impressive than the speaker. He took me under his wing to help accelerate my potential working on areas I was weakest and recognizing strengths I didn't see in myself. He gave me the belief to be a keynote speaker to over 1000 people in London. So warm, personable, and empowering. Would and do recommend him without question.
Ben Holloway
Digital Strategist & keynote speaker, UK
Fabrizio is a great commercial senior professional, with very solid commercial skills (from strategy and trade activity development to execution), always oriented to results with enthusiasm, genuinely committed, honest and very open to feedback. He his also able to build strong relationship with people and to convince audience through strong leadership and empathy. I had the opportunity to work in Fabrizio’s Team at Birra Peroni and I spent very fruitful and stimulating phase of my professional path with him, working on challenging and successful projects for Peroni portfolio brands. Fabrizio supported me in my professional growth through his intense coaching, representing a real point of reference.
Sabrina Fontana
Brau Forst Marketing Director
Fabrizio brings passion, energy and focus to everything he does. He is able to achieve a staggering level of output through remarkable work ethic and determination. He is an extremely experienced trade marketing executive and senior business leader who is passionate about his discipline and driven by building capability across the organisation. His commitment to people and teams shines through in all he does. He knows how to bring out the best in others - a talent that he has developed further by qualifying as a professional coach. He would be an asset to any organisation.
Gisela Rule
Global Brand Portfolio Director at Asahi International
Fabrizio Contardi is an extraordinary manager. As his previous Coach Trainer, I have seen many examples of his talent and have long been impressed by his social intelligence and ethic work. He has successfully demonstrated leadership ability by counseling other classmate, colleagues and reports: his advice has been a great help to these people. It is for these reasons that I offer high recommendations for Fabrizio without reservation.
