I am a woman, a mother, a neuro-atypical thinker, a creative, a consultant, and a coach.

 

Creativity is the third “C” of my essence—alongside Consulting and Coaching—and it informs everything I do through my alter ego, Lalie Dipietro.

 

Creativity fuels my work and life. It allows me to generate innovative ideas, make unexpected connections, and explore unconventional solutions. Through creative practices, I cultivate presence, focus, and flow, which neuroscience shows are essential for decision-making, resilience, and joy.

​

Argentine Tango – A childhood dream rediscovered, tango challenges me with improvisation, precision, and intuition. Training and performing push my limits, foster presence, and unlock insights I bring into coaching and consulting.

​

Writing & Fiction – Writing has been my companion since childhood, helping me structure thought, process emotions, and exercise imagination. Neuroscience confirms that imagination strengthens innovative thinking, visualization, and mental resilience.

​

Painting (Acryl, Watercolor) & Drawing – Painting and drawing teach presence, acceptance of “mistakes,” and flow. These practices are meditative, connecting mind, body, and emotion, and generating the same sense of joy that activates multiple areas of the brain.

​

Music & Singing – Music is woven through every creative practice. Singing, like breathing, fosters coherence between mind, body, and emotion, supporting focus, calm, and expression.

 

These arts help me integrating creativity and joy into coaching and consulting to help women leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations harness focus, flow, and fulfillment.

​

Cultivating Joy is about more than skills—it’s about unlocking the mindset and presence that allow you to thrive, create, and lead with your whole self.
