Michelle Manias
I support people and organisations during international transitions, where language, culture, role, pressure and performance meet.
My work is designed for private clients, families, athletes, professionals, teams and organisations who need more than practical relocation or generic training.
They need to function in a new environment.
MY BACKGROUND
My background combines translation and interpreting, intercultural communication, language coaching, sport coaching, mental coaching and team coaching.
I have worked across languages, cultures, learning processes, sport environments and performance contexts.
This allows me to read transitions from different angles:
-
the language people use;
-
the culture they enter;
-
the role they must perform;
-
the pressure they experience;
-
the system they need to function in.
MY APPROACH
I do not believe that relocation, hiring or insertion automatically create integration.
-
A person can move and still feel disoriented.
-
A professional can be hired and still not function well in the team.
-
An athlete can sign a contract and still struggle to perform.
-
A family can arrive in Italy and still feel fragmented.
-
My work focuses on the space between arrival and real functioning.
That is where integration happens.
That is where performance becomes possible.
