Executive and Life Coaching
Paolo your one of the most centred people I have had the pleasure to meet. Your starting point is a consistent basis of love – even tough love when it is required – this creates the trusting environment needed to open up and accept the transference of the learning’s & life skills. You are a master at the human condition & truly understand the dynamics at work in various individuals. Topping all this up is the fact that you are assertive, attentive, sensitive, supportive and very passionate when it comes to skills transfer. I’m so thankful to have your wisdom & guidance in my life.

Paolo as my coach gave me new eyes to look at my goals and assess them against my current capacity. It lead me to stop pursuing some goals and dedicating more time to those that I have made priority. Without this nudge I would have continued pursuing goals without adequate capacity, meaning that I will end with mediocre results. I am now on my way to completing my Masters degree because of his assistance. I have learned from Paolo to assess my available capacity before I get involved , if I don’t have capacity I say NO. He helped me to learn to say no and explain to other people why i said no. Educating those I am interacting with.

List of things that have changed in terms of growth
- Learning the importance of clarity in relationships
- Making myself supportable and the value of doing so. Although I still remain in my own circles of support where I would like to grow this channel and meet new people outside of my comfort zone
- A lot of focus has been placed on the various roles I play in my life than me as a person.
- Living from an ego state vs. soul state and differentiating between the two of them. The concept of control, approval and judgment within work situations, although the discipline still lacks there to speak my feelings without coming across as emotional.
- I still lack the discipline to grow myself outside of my comfort zone in terms of gym and home life.
- I love more openly and I air frustrations a lot quicker instead of over analysing them and waiting until I am exhausted by all the various questions asked by one simple frustration.
- No more champagne bottle effect
- I put myself first instead of analysing the possibility of doing it
- I am more honest about my needs and my feelings
- I have learned to deal with difficult situations a lot better, clarity before what I need to discuss rather than analysing afterwards

Paolo, in the three session I have worked with him, has assisted me in realizing who and what I am. He has pointed out the door to me, held my hand while I opened it and given me the guidance to move forward. Through all of this, I have been going through a lot of turmoil and relationship stresses, but yet, I have not broken down to the Sonett that sat in front of Paolo for the first session. I seem to understand and accept a lot more. I have dignity again!
Paolo, you are my angel when I needed one. You are my friend first and foremost, and I totally and utterly value your input, advice and guidance. I look forward to our future friendship and yes, counseling sessions too.

Before Paolo and i started out sessions i was a highly strung and generally stressed out person with only a vague direction of where i was going and what i wanted out of life. Paolo helped me realise and focus on what was important in my life and taught me to block out all the less important noise, the things that didn’t actually matter. Knowledge is the art of collecting information, but wisdom is the art of simplifying it… Paolo taught how to simplify life.

I got a job at the right time, just to help me get some self worth back and to get a place of my own. I don’t need to be dependant on someone anymore. But the job was just temporary, I was let go on the 31st of July. But I’m not upset with that or lost focus on my goals. I finally at the age of 28 know what I want to do as an occupation that I will love to do. I’m going to work for myself again, doing massages. I’m now ready to do it and it’s a line of work where you learn new things everyday and a wide spectrum of spiritual healing that I can learn. .

Baby Steps (manuscript)
Practical guide to self love and positive interaction with others
Baby Steps by Paolo Giannini is the opposite of a “self-help” book. Those books require that the reader first identify the problem then follow the suggestions in a closed internal conceit. This book gives external potential helpers the tools to come to grips with truly stunning personal tragedies and misbehaviors and formulate a practical and graphic roadmap to understanding, analysis and planning to formulate a help strategy.
While certainly applicable to situations in all parts of the world, the view into the specific society of South Africa is fascinating and educational. I found the value in this book to be the application of a uniform strategy to analyze situations that on the surface seemed truly overwhelming and yet the techniques in Baby Steps allowed them to be intellectually and emotionally manageable.

Paolo Giannini is one of the most free thinking individuals I know. I celebrate his engaging energy and interest in choosing the path less travelled.
I highly recommend this thought provoking read to anyone with a genuine desire to make positive changes for a clearer, more fulfilling sense of being.
Through real-life studies and practical step-by-step guidelines, Paolo offers a means to approach challenges and subsequent emotions with positive intent, thus delivering resolutions that provide personal growth and upliftment.
I believe the teachings of this book can be applied to all aspects of life. From decisions in the boardroom to family relationships, “Baby Steps” equips us to make better choices for a greater sense of purpose, balance and emotional wellbeing. The basic skills presented remind us that positive dialogue and interaction with others ultimately leads to a more joyous, rewarding life.
“Baby Steps” will prove to be an invaluable addition to your bookshelf.

Paolo Giannini has written a compassionate book that celebrates our wholeness as human beings – in all our complexity, with all of our foibles, gaffs, insecurities – and, in all of our beauty! And, he gives us hope to keep growing, changing, and enhancing our fundamental selves. Read the stories in this book, and you’ll read about your self – and the selves of everyone you love.”

Paolo shows brilliancy in his approach to introduce people to their authentic selves; which in turn will lead to happiness. He clearly indicates that real happiness does not exist if you are ego focused. He emphasizes the importance to live from the perspective of a soul dimension, while focusing on universal truths. Living in the moment without carrying the past over to the future, is emphasized as being of utmost importance. His knowledge of the Eastern religions provides balance in the book. The content is presented simplistic which increases the accessibility for the reader.
The case studies which Paolo makes use of, illustrate the feasibility of his approaches, and indicates that the move to the authentic self brings a solution which is sustainable, and which establishes true happiness. His quotes, taken from philosophers and spiritual leaders, confirm his mastery of the subject.
This book is highly recommended for self-help purposes; and an asset for those in the counseling profession.
Dr. Hermann Liebenberg
Psychologist , South Africa
This is really an astonishing book out from a highly structured and deeply focused mind, Baby Steps explains individual and interactional social matters in a simple approach. Paolo Giannini has constructed models that might lighten up the shelves of common academic psychology – overloaded with empirical data – with analyses of human matters for everybody to understand. Within the frame of life-stories and reality-bites, Giannini has juggled with his models through dimensions from spirituality down to practicality. The simplicity of complex human being that we might intuitively know about when we step back from interceptive struggle and emotionally driven subjectivity is put into intellectual understanding in its purest form. For everybody to read! Written for crowds!
Henriette Bohn
Psychologist, Germany
Paolo has very tactfully applied the integrated skills and arts of the human condition when coaching people. The scriptures form the foundation for human rights and affirm the sacredness of every human person. As an discerning reader, irrespective of one’s religious background and beliefs, you will agree that Paolo is an agape listener in the collective coaching community.
Seeking and finding, and again taking ownership of one’s self – then plotting a new course after having found a discourse of erotic pleasures in the wrong places with the wrong faces.
The most basic need in life is for a relationship for which many suffer because of abuse, fearing their partners will leave them and they will be left alone should they stand up to them and be devoid of love in their lives.
Paolo has empathy, which is the ability to feel with others, to share an emotional feeling.

Introduction to Baby Steps (Half day workshop)
As a woman ……when the only thing more difficult than leaving was staying (in the abusive relationship), Baby Steps has shown me how to choose myself and share unconditional love around me. It has also given me a path for complete reconciliation towards of my divorce. There is no blame or even judgment of the opposite sex. We are all equal! As a director of motivational and empowerment of Dance to Destiny workshops, I have reviewed many books on the human condition and have found Baby Steps to be practical, simple, empowering and inspirational. I decided to contact Paolo and facilitate his methodology illustrated in Baby Steps into a workshop to assist my clients. Some of the feedback I have received from my clients from the introduction workshop of Baby Steps is the following:
Objective view, being aware of where I am in my interactions with others…..
No need to compromise, I don’t need validation from anyone to be who I am…
Well done, total eye opener Stunning!…..
I’ve learned that I should love myself first, and that will help me relate with others…
Want to learn much more. Would like to read the book ‘Baby Steps…
What is appetizing about Baby Steps is the integrity and truth of the stories and the principals. If you are looking for real principals that apply balance to your life, if you are stuck in any or many areas of your life and most of all if you are really tired of the noise and want pure zest for life….Baby Steps has the solution! The book is superbly written.
