David Papini, ACC, CPPC
David is a coach, counselor, consultant, psychologist, trainer, IT guy and public speaker born in Florence in 1966 just a few months before the deluge, and that's a kind of destiny (and also a Jackson Browne song he loves).
David lives in Milan and works worldwide and that’s been a rewarding choice since the nineties.
Today, as a certified Coach helps clients getting what they really want, as a Counselor helps clients to explore their life experience and witness how tough and creative a relationship can be, as a Trainer he helps trainees in stretching their brain, growing and learning, as a Public Speaker enjoys co-creating experience on the fly, as a dad love his two children and his partner. As a man he’s grateful and worried that he has got this wonderful life. He’s also fond of categorizing his professional and life roles ;-).
As an author he published books about emotional intelligence and teams. Most recent book is “The taste of emotions” to help readers to rediscover the flavor of life and live better with themselves and others.
David has background in psychology (M.A.) and humanities, many IT industry certifications (MCT, CTT+, MCSE, MCTP, SCRUM Master), is a certified NLP Counselor and a certified coach (SCM CCC) and Certified Positive Psychology Coach (SCM CPPC), ICF ACC and International Association of Coaching (IAC) practitioner.
