Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions, your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.

I retrained in Business Psychology and Coaching after an extensive career in media.
Studying psychology has been my way of making sense of everything that I thought wasn't working in the modern workplace. I have discovered enough to believe we can turn our lives around if we understand ourselves, the people around us and the context in which we operate. Every day, I set the intention to share and practise this realisation in everything that I do.
​
My name is Gabriele Galassi. Italian by birth, but really a "citizen of nowhere" in spirit. I lived in London (UK) for a very long time and I currently live in Amsterdam (NL) with my husband and my dog.
.
I started my career in the media industry working in commercial roles for independent production companies and broadcasters. After moving to the UK, I worked for BBC Studios in various executive jobs, eventually becoming General Manager for the Benelux region, overseeing affiliate sales, ancillaries, formats and programme sales.
In 2015, I took the opportunity of a training role for the global business division of BBCWW, taking the lead on creating a Sales Academy that pioneered a new approach to sales through assessment, training and bespoke internal talent management.
During this experience - and in the years after it - I retrained as a Business Psychologist and Coach, gradually developing a new career as a Business Consultant and Psychologist.
​
I launched my independent consultancy, The Business Psychology Network, in 2017. Thanks to this experience, I expanded the breadth and depth of my understanding of organisations, working with the most diverse range of organisations and projects.
​
In my years as a consultant, I also lectured on Learning and Development at Birkbeck University and Kingston University respectively for the Undergraduate degree in Business Psychology (BSc) and Postgraduate degree in Business/Occupational psychology (MSc).
Since 2021, I work at Wise, a thriving fintech company that operates in more than 160 countries making money transfers cheaper, faster and transparent, with more than 5,000 employees across the globe. I am Head of People & Organisational Development.
​
I have been a volunteer at Centre Point since 2020, where I proudly serve as a Coach and Coaching trainer for the volunteers. ​
​
I am a passionate believer in people's ability to change and psychology has given me the key to help facilitate this process.
