Skills built through experiential learning

I'm Alessandra Patti. Owner, consultant, and professional facilitator
Some skills are hard to master. We hear practical communication tools -such as using "I statements"- but after trying them once, we often forget to use them. As leaders, we want to recognize signs of mental distress in the people around us, but we never practice those conversations. We struggle to manage our emotions at work, express them clearly, or give feedback that truly lands.
Experiential learning makes it possible. We raise awareness, explain the psychology and the science behind it, and then we practice together until the skills become part of everyday routine. Our learning experiences are not long, but impactful. We believe that learning practical and scientific based tools is the best way to strengthen yourself, your workplace or your study place.

I was born in Palermo, Sicily, and I became a Swiss citizen in 2023. I have an academic background in linguistics and translation, a master's degrees in Communication and postgraduate studies in Psychology.
Growing up in a family of teachers, artists and scientists, I don't see the world in categories of science versus humanities. I believe in combining research with practical application.
Before founding FindYourWay in 2017, I worked in international corporate communication. Later I specialized in psychology, coaching and adult education, while teaching at universities and supporting organizations across different industries and languages (EN, ITA, ES, FR, DE).
Today these experiences come together in a methodology designed to create behavioral change, not simply transfer knowledge: The micro-talks and the Learning Labs. I am deeply practical, but I also love theory. Learning the theory and immediately putting it into practice has been a success in the learning labs for the participants, where people feel that they can develop skills quickly and with real world application.
Where else can you find my work?
I like raising awareness through LinkedIn, with my "megaphone Mondays" posts and the Awareness Generator newsletter.
Writing and journaling have been other ways for me to reflect, learn and grow. And help others do so. In 2017 I co-authored Amazon best-seller in Self-Help, "Activate Your Life" and In 2025 I created the "Find My Way: Journal to Grow" that you can find on this website under "Resources".
A bit more about me: I have a great passion for reading, dancing and cooking. Learning languages is one of my favorite hobbies and I enjoy travelling and organizing events.
