OUR METHODS
The founders of LEA long sought and carefully selected the best methods and professionals within their network to reflect their values and mission: Learn Empower Achieve.
Our coaches are all ICF (International Coaching Federation) certified and all our mentors and instructors are accredited professionals, each in their domain. Our methods are chosen based on scientific relevance and their successful track record.
L.E.A Cycle
L.E.A. = Learn Empower Achieve
The L.E.A. METHOD is the fastest and longest lasting way to become the best version of yourself and to experience a mindset change in a change management scenario.
The method is supported by several individual and group assessments which, together with a deep screening of the company will allow us to tailor made a package that can be implemented through individual coach-client session or through team interactive workshop/incentive that could happen virtually, live or off sites.
The three principles guide the clients throughout their growing journey which is:
- cyclic and expansive
- an infinitive spiral of growth: you will integrate your achievements in the new cycle of learnings
- resuming over and over again to get exponential professional and personal growth
Co-active Coaching
The Co-Active training institute is widely recognized as the most rigorous professional coach training and certification program in the industry.
Co-Active coaches are trained to coach anyone, on any topic, with confidence, supported by the Co-Active Model, known as the most flexible and successful model in the coaching world. The Co-Active Model’s approach is tailored to an individual’s unique skills and abilities. Instead of instructing an individual on what they should do, it sparks curiosity and draws on their creativity.
Neurolinguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is about learning the language that your own mind speaks. In other words, NLP is like a user’s manual for the brain, the study of excellent communication–both with yourself, and with others.
In the NLP philosophy, the conscious mind is the goal setter, and the unconscious mind is the goal getter. NLP will teach you how to manage the communication between your conscious and unconscious brain in order to achieve the results you put your mind to.

OUR STORY
They say opposites attract and that is how, in 2002, Elena and Luca became a couple. Elena, a performer and Luca, an engineer. Despite coming from two completely different backgrounds with divergent stories, they soon discovered their common values: resilience, freedom, curiosity and creativity.
In 2010, they became parents to their son, Gabriele: the biggest transformation in their lives.
They had to reconsider their mindset and behaviour, but their biggest challenge was to find, in parallel, the best way to convey their values to their child and process their own emotions together with his. Gabriele taught them to be resourceful and flexible.
In 2013, they welcomed their second gift: their daughter, Arianna.
She taught them that love, acceptance and routine were the key for success in parenthood and triggered the deepest and strongest personal development project that Elena and Luca encountered as individuals, a couple and as a family.
In 2015, their corporate jobs together with their need for a new learning scene, brought them to Dubai (UAE), where they met many other individuals and professionals embarking on a journey similar to theirs and striving for fulfillment, success and growth. As a result, they created LEA Growing People to support every human being, family, and professional in their journey towards discovery, love and personal development.
LEA stands for “ Learn -> Empower -> Achieve“, 3 words for summarizing our coaching process.
According Oxford Dictionary of English, LEA means an open area of arable land.
And ultimately, Lea merges the essence of our names, Luca Elena Atti, together, because we believe in the unique value of our union.
