FOR THE UNDERESTIMATED

I've spent 15 years building an identity and a life across four countries.

Now I help others build theirs.

You don’t just want to be seen.

You want to be SIGNIFICANT.

I work with the underdogs, the overlooked, the ones still building something bigger than the world they were handed.

Professionals and expats in their 30s and 40s, from modest beginnings, who weren't supposed to make it this far. And yet, here you are.

Why work with me

I'm Ivan Fantini. Fifteen years, four countries, seven companies, two romantic relationships, and uncountable friendships. And most importantly, the relationship with myself.

Every time my expat journey took me somewhere new, it felt like starting from zero. Not knowing anyone, always the newcomer in the room, not even a friend to grab a coffee with. And yet, it never was. I always brought everything that came before, and in that process of rebuilding my life, through the good and the bad, I got much closer to knowing who I really am and what I stand for.

That’s what I help others do.

FAQ

No. A lot of people come in with "something needs to change" and nothing more specific. Part of our early work is getting clear on what you actually want.
6 sessions: clarity and a concrete direction. 12 sessions: clarity, direction, and support through the work of actually getting there.
Yes, I can provide a short outline and invoice for your employer if they have a learning or development budget.
Yes. Most sessions are online, so I work with clients in different countries and time zones.
No. Real change takes time. I only offer multi-session packages, so we have space to work on values, story, and decisions, not just documents.
That's what the chemistry call and early sessions are for. If it doesn't feel helpful, we talk about it openly and see if we can adjust or stop.
