Meet the coach interview
Profile
My name is Robert Pellegriti and hope to meet you one day soon.
Background
I have over 25 years’ experience in leading and managing teams of all shapes and sizes in a variety of industries. My leadership career started with managing teams in large and well-established organisations, however in recent years, I have had to set up teams, establish new ways of working and manage smaller organisations through significant change. Leadership is not always about having direct reports and being a project professional for a large part of my career, I have had to learn to lead and influence, without the help of boxes and lines from an organisation chart.
And I have done all this with the extra challenge of having ADHD and striving to use the benefits of the condition to advance my career.
How will I coach you?
I am here to listen, support and guide young and emerging leaders to navigate the corporate landscape so they can realise their full potential.
I use the following four principles when I coach:
- Listening – I will ask powerful questions to trigger thought so you will be doing most of the talking to identify the goals you want achieve.
- Support – I will be in your corner to help you gain confidence and to stop listening to the ‘little voice’ that all of us have and is our biggest obstacle in progressing to the next level in our careers.
- Guide – Effective leaders are not just born – they can be created, and my objective is to inspire you to believe in yourself and work to build a leadership toolkit that you can use on your journey which will empower you to be a high performing leader
- Authenticity – Our discussions will be sincere and practical, designed to encourage different thinking and without the corporate buzzwords.
Why Coaching?
During my corporate career, I have had the privilege of working with many young and aspiring leaders. I have seen many of these leaders not progress in organisations because they did not always have a coach in their corner to support their journey. Often, the leaders of these emerging leaders were preoccupied with their own challenges in surviving the politics of a corporate environment.
I want to make a difference and be there for young leaders, because I have been in the trenches, had the hard conversations and have learnt many lessons from mistakes made along the way.
Also, I want to use my coaching to support young leaders who may have ADHD to create tools and strategies to move forward with their careers.
Working in the corporate world is challenging at the best of times. ADHD adds a new set of considerations – procrastinating over an important presentation, the last-minute rush to meet your bosses’ deadlines, and leading cross-functional workshops can be overwhelming.
I can also help turn ADHD into a superpower, discreetly working with you to use the ‘gifts’ that come with ADHD to use them to achieve your career goals.

5 Reviews on “Rob Pellegriti Coaching - Emerging Leaders and Adult ADHD”
I first met Rob at American Express, he naturally took me under his wing on a
new product rollout and has mentored me since then. 5 years on and the mentor and coaching relationship runs strong. Rob has been a coach, problem solver, sounding board and even counsellor through the years and has been integral in shaping my career. Under his remit I have moved from Project Coordinator to Project Manager and now Program Manager. Rob has helped provided strategic advice, guidance and reflection to guide me through my career. I highly recommend Rob as a coach and am grateful for his leadership and advice.
I met Rob when we worked on a large partnership launch project together at Velocity / Virgin Australia. Rob was a fantastic colleague who naturally became my mentor with career conversations that came up in our discussions. Rob is a genuine and authentic person who listens and has helped guide me through various topics related to my work and career knowing I want to one day become a C-Suite executive. I believe it’s not only Rob’s character and kind nature, but combined with his real world work and life experience, plus his official accreditations that he is able to draw upon in such a natural way that make meaningful and actionable conversations which help me with whatever I’m discussing at the time.
Rob and I meet every month or so to have career coaching and mentoring conversations and this has helped me immensely in framing my thoughts, different ways to approach certain scenarios and keeping focused on small steps that set me in the direction of one day achieving my career goal.
I’m looking forward to many more of our coaching and mentoring conversations to come and would highly recommend Rob to those who want to be top of their game, have career aspirations or goals they want to achieve or even a sounding board for career or work related advice and guidance. In my opinion, chatting things through with a coach like Rob can really help your mindset and give clarity to next steps or actions to achieve goals and overcome career hurdles.
Dear Reader, I can’t speak highly enough of my coach Robert Pellegriti.
I first met Rob some years ago, when he was a consultant to my organisation at the time and I was massively impressed with his professionalism, sensible approach and ability to get things done. Further to this, my then colleagues all noted his approachability and capacity to communicate well at all levels. Rob went out of his way to help and guide me at the time, never seeking anything in return, and through his efforts I made a jump to the next level in what was a difficult time and situation for me.
More recently, Rob has been of immense help to me as I seek to build out my own business, and his wise and sensible advice has been invaluable to me on my journey. I can say without any hesitation that Rob is one of the kindest, most genuine and wisest people I have had the privilege to meet in my journey across this great planet. The fact that he has many, many years of experience (sorry Rob) at the corporate coal face, in a variety of roles means that he has a wealth of knowledge to draw on. Personally, I can recommend him very, very highly – if you are looking for a genuine and wise guide for your journey then he is your man.
Robert is an amazing coach and mentor, I can’t stress this enough.
After being diagnosed earlier this year with ADHD, Rob has been there to support me on my journey of understanding the panic monster, and how to navigate everyday effectively.
His genuine care and wanting to see people succeed extends beyond appointment times and makes all the difference in the world.
Thank you Rob for all of your support.
Rob was recommended to me through my CEO and now so thankful for the connection.
Rob genuinely cares, is down to earth, empathetic and really listens to determine how he best mentor or coach clients.
During and between sessions he asked good challenging questions to ensure the coaching times are maximised to progress each conversation. He speaks from a depth of experience and offers wise, straightforward advice.
I would definitely recommend him as a mentor or coach as you determine career steps or strengthening particular skills.
