My Breakthrough
Federica Schiaffino
Breakthrough Founder, Coach & HR Strategist

The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize it that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.”
Albert Einstein
The changes we experience in life, whether chosen or unchosen, do not always come with smooth transitions.
Many of the challenges I have overcome in my life, both personally and professionally, have taught me that we are capable of much more than what we, or others, think but I understood the full meaning and reason behind it when I had my own breakthrough, reading the following story:
Elephants as babies are tied to a stake that they cannot uproot due to their not yet developed strength. Over time, they learn the futility of their efforts and eventually stop trying to free themselves. Despite growing into adult and strong creatures, they remain tied up even by a simple rope as they have developed the idea that they have a limitation which is only based on their past capability.
My purpose has become to help others to free themselves from the limitations they have created for themselves whether directly or indirectly and support them in their transformation and transition towards what they really want and who they want to be or become.

The Breakthrough approach is rooted in neuroscience research, which helps individuals understand the brain's response to change and provides actionable strategies for embracing it positively.
By addressing the brain aspects of adaptation, this approach empowers individuals to overcome challenges, make better decisions, manage stress, and embrace change with confidence.
