She understood my ambition...
"Claudia has been my mentor for a full year while I was studying at Nottingham Trent University and she really helped me develop personal skills throughout 12 months. She exactly understood my ambition and makes me work precisely on relevant aspects to succeed. Claudia kept following me with deadlines and report to have a concrete vision on the progression of my work. It was a great experience which still has positive outcomes these days on my career."

Your enter a genuine experience of insight...
“I first met Claudia on my MSC International Business Programme. She was our mentor on the program and lead our personal development module and projects. These included meetings in which we shared insightful discussion surrounding improving ourselves both as a student in our program and as individuals. These conversations aided us in reflecting and understand our limitations as students or individuals so that we could begin to develop ourselves to realize a our greater potential, and achieve the individual goals and success we sought.
Since I have been living back home in the U.S I made sure to stay connected with Claudia I began to chase my purpose and start to build a career as a young professional. I continue to have Bi-weekly meetings with Claudia. There is nothing quite like my conversations with Claudia. I always leave our intriguing conversations more enlightened, a deeper awareness of myself and the world around me, and a great sense of calm clarity moving forward.
Claudia has helped me discover and address my deepest flaws, relinquish and learn from my past, chase new goals, understand myself and the world deeply, and has given me the confidence to find my purpose and realize ambition.
After entering a session with Claudia you enter a genuine experience of insight, intrigue, and growth, so that you can leave a more enlightened and better self.

I had found a mentor who genuinely cared...
“I am writing to you to express my deepest gratitude for your guidance and continuous support throughout my academic and personal journey. Your encouragement has helped me navigate my time in the UK and in Italy, specially during the times I encounter big changes and challenges while studying abroad.
During our first encounter, I knew I had found a mentor who genuinely cared about my success and well-being. You have been a constant source of inspiration and motivation, always pushing me to reach my full potential. You have encouraged me to set high standards for myself by providing guidance and advice on both academic and personal matters.
I particularly appreciate the time when you visited us, NTU students, in Brescia to check if we have adjusted well to our new university. I also appreciate how you have always been available to discuss any issues or concerns I have had. Lastly, I want to thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that I have the support and right mindset to overcome challenges and obstacles.

You have helped me more than you would believe...
"I found you to be an extremely inspiring person, I don't know how you do it but after sitting in one of your lectures I found myself incredibly motivated to better myself.
And this continued into our mentor session. I also love how inquisitive you are, you seem to ask loads of questions to gain a deep understanding of how a person operates, you put yourself in their shoes and come up with solutions/ways to help with a real level of empathy. You have helped me more than you would believe."
