An alternative to staying stuck, to settling, to burning out quietly while everything looks fine from the outside. The Human Shift is Francesca Rossin's coaching, supervision, and coach-training practice — for professionals who feel stuck, coaches who want to grow, and anyone ready for a more grounded way of connecting with people, starting with themselves.
Find your starting point
Four ways to work together, four different starting points — all grounded in the same belief.
Coaching
On paper, nothing is wrong. You're succeeding by every external measure. But something's off, and you can't quite name it, let alone see a way out. Coaching starts there — not by telling you to quit, but by helping you see the alternatives you currently can't.
Explore Coaching →Supervision
For coaches, mentors, supervisors, leaders, and helping professionals who need reflective dialogue on their development, their ethical dilemmas, and the systemic pressures they carry on behalf of everyone else.
Explore Supervision →Coach Education
The Human Shift Practitioner Program is for anyone curious about becoming a coach, or simply drawn to a transformational journey of self-growth and deeper self-awareness.
Explore the Practitioner Program →Mentor Coaching
For coaches advancing their coaching and working toward ACC, PCC, or MCC — or simply committed to sharpening their craft, measured against the ICF Core Competencies.

Why "The Human Shift"
We envision grounded human connection unlocking authentic clarity, purpose, and innovation.
It's a big vision, and I don't chase it by trying to change the world all at once. I chase it one conversation at a time — with the leader who's stopped recognising themselves at work, the coach quietly running on empty, the person ready to understand themselves and others more honestly.
Every service on this site starts from the same belief: when people connect with themselves honestly, they stop needing to fight, perform, or shrink around each other. That's the shift — and it's always available, even when it doesn't feel like it.
Who's behind this
I'm an ICF Master Certified Coach, EMCC Coach and Mentor Supervisor, ICF Mentor Coach, and ICAgile-certified Expert Agile Coach. My coaching experience spans one-to-one and team/group work, both as an internal coach — where I helped HR build their internal coaching programme from scratch — and as an entrepreneur running my own practice.
I've made the disorienting, high-stakes decisions myself — leaving Milan to move to Germany without speaking the language, staying in tech through pay gaps and rooms with no women in leadership, and, together with my partner, selling most of what we owned to spend over three years as digital nomads across Southeast Asia, building our own business, Geek Divers, from nothing. There was always an alternative. I just couldn't always see it without help. That's what I now help others do.
How I work
For who you are and where you are right now, however messy or unresolved — no judgement, no rushing you towards an answer.
For experiencing complete honesty and radical transparency — knowing you're supported by someone who walks the talk, and always puts your best interests first.
For giving you the space and permission to choose your own path — equipping you with the flexibility, self-organisation, and tools to pivot whenever your future calls for a change.

Questions
Coaching is for anyone going through a professional or personal situation — it's not specific to coaches. Mentor coaching is specifically for coaches: it develops your coaching skills against the ICF Core Competencies and supports credentialing at ACC, PCC, or MCC level.
I work primarily in English — I'm happy to work with you wherever you are in the world. I also work in Italian, if that's a better fit. Sessions and workshops are held online via video; when a client needs me on-site, I'm happy to travel and work in person with appropriate advance planning.
Supervision is reflective practice for people who hold space for others professionally — coaches, mentors, leaders, and helping professionals — focused on their development, ethical questions, and the systemic dynamics they navigate at work.
It's my coach education program, structured in a Practitioner level and a Senior Practitioner level, for people ready to grow their self-awareness and their capacity for grounded human connection — whether or not they intend to coach professionally.
Yes. I run workshops, and I am open to speaking engagements on topics such as leadership development, self-leadership, female leadership, effective decision-making, creating environments of trust, self-organisation, vision, mission and purpose, active listening, difficult behaviours, boundaries, navigating a VUCA and BANI world, innovation, and systems thinking, among others. I also organise silent coaching sessions, group reflective practices, and pre-mortem sessions.
Yes. All 1:1 sessions are strictly confidential, and nothing you share with me will get out without your permission. In line with the Global Code of Ethics and the ICF Code of Ethics, there are a few narrow exceptions: confidentiality may need to be broken where required by law, in the case of illegal activity, a valid court order or subpoena, or an imminent or likely risk of danger to you or others. As I recognise myself in the "helping professional" category and follow EMCC's recommendations, I have regular supervision with two supervisors — if I ever need to discuss a client situation there, I anonymise what I share, and my supervisors are bound by the same code of ethics and confidentiality.
Group or team sessions work a little differently: I won't share anything outside the session, but I can't guarantee the same for other participants. Whenever I'm the coach, facilitator, supervisor, or trainer in a group or team setting, we establish a confidentiality agreement together at the start. You can read the full codes I follow: the Global Code of Ethics and the ICF Code of Ethics.
During the call, we get to know each other and talk about what brought you to book it — it's worth thinking beforehand about what you'd like to know from me, so you leave with real answers. Either during the call or shortly after, I'll share some ideas and options for how we could continue working together — or, just as honestly, let you know if I don't think I'm the right fit for what you need, so you're free to look elsewhere without losing time. Take whatever time you need to consider the options. You're always welcome to reach out with more questions or propose something different, at francesca@francesca-rossin.com. If you'd like to go ahead, I'll send you my onboarding package and we'll start planning next steps together.
There's always an alternative — even the ones you can't see yet. Let's find yours.
