Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
🔷Born in Palermo, Sicily, and a naturalized Swiss citizen since 2023. With an academic background in linguistics, and master's degrees in communication and psychology, I have spent the past 12 years working as a trainer and consultant in the fields of communication, workplace psychology and mental wellbeing. During the past 6 years, and still ongoing, I specialized in digital psychology, educating people understand the effects of technology on mental health and how to use it more intentionally. 🔷I am the owner of FindYourWay Coaching GmbH, which is an educational partner for organizations seeking practical and impactful programs around mental wellbeing, communication skills and workplace psychology. We help people in organizations make sense of issues of the modern world: desire for more time, communicating truthfully, dealing with our new digital life, having difficult conversations, setting boundaries, asking for what we need, emotional awareness. 🔷I work primarily with Learning & Development, HR professionals and University Program Directors, to help organizations build internal ecosystems that support prevention, continuous learning and sustainable cultural change. We also help strengthen wellbeing awareness and internal capabilities across teams by training mental health ambassadors and Mental Health First Aiders (I trained 30% of the current first aiders in CH). 🔷 Our programs and micro-talks are multilingual and delivered both in companies and universities. We support international organizations across multiple industries, including On, Adidas, Novartis, Julius Bär and Sonova, as well as global research institutions such as CERN and leading Swiss educational institutions including ETH Zürich and the University of St. Gallen. 🔷I like raising awareness through LinkedIn, with my "megaphone Mondays" posts and the newsletter, and I use journaling as a tool for my clients' mental wellbeing. My most recent project—a wellbeing journal published in May 2025—is now being used as a practical tool in corporate and public trainings: https://www.lulu.com/shop/alessandra-patti/finding-my-way-journal-to-grow/paperback/product-956enkm.html Reading, cooking, dancing, and traveling are how I recharge. I also love bringing people together by organizing events and discovering new restaurants.

Education is powerful. And some skills were not taught in school before, but now we need them. This is why I lecture at the University of St Gallen and I have introduced lectures on topics such as digital wellbeing and assertive communication.
With Between Us, I support in conducting research on healthy disagreements, communication and family and work dynamics. I also facilitate online events, group and individual coaching on communication. The mission is always the same: bringing authentic, honest and assertive communication to the world, and therefore better mental wellbeing.
