The Power of Mindset to Transform the Work Environment

In my coaching work, I have the privilege of accompanying a young adult, Giovanni, who lives with a disability yet is deeply committed to contributing to society with all his abilities.

When he first came to me, he was ready to quit his job and review his CV. he wanted to quit not because he lacked motivation — but because of the environment around him.

He was not given meaningful work.

He was told, “You can’t do this,” “You’re useless.” He would arrive in the morning to find a chair placed at his desk — despite using a wheelchair and not needing one.

He was simply… unseen.

This should never happen.

Giovanni has extraordinary motivation, a strong work ethic, and the desire to learn and grow. He is doing everything we ask of any worker in today’s society — showing up, engaging, contributing.

So he made an investment in himself. We started coaching sessions together, and now — halfway through, after four sessions — the transformation is visible.

His motivation is back.

His self-esteem is rising.

He is learning how to express his needs confidently, build healthy relationships, and show his value in the workplace.

Because relationships — communication, empathy, emotional intelligence — are transferable skills that shape every work environment.

And when people feel seen, respected, and included, they thrive.

I am honored to walk this journey with him and eager to see how far we can go.

Inclusion is not a slogan. It’s a daily practice — made of small actions that restore dignity and unlock potential.
