The ADE Process: Your Roadmap to Meaningful Change
The essence of growth isn’t always about what happens to us; often, it’s about how we interpret those experiences. That's the heart of today’s discussion with Federico Malatesta, who transitioned from leading a massive investment portfolio to becoming a transformational coach. He challenges us to consider whether the stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances are the true obstacles to our growth. We delve into the importance of reframing our identities and understanding that transformation is less about doing more and more about seeing things differently. Federico shares his ADE process—Assess, Define, Execute—which provides a structured approach for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of change.

Featuring Federico Malatesta
Personal growth starts with reframing perspective. Learn how shifting your internal narratives helps you navigate change and find clarity. Many people feel stuck because they focus on external circumstances rather than their own mindset. In this conversation, we sit down with a former investment portfolio manager who now helps individuals re-evaluate their identity. We discuss why your internal narratives are the biggest factors in your development and how to manage them effectively. If you have been struggling to find direction, this discussion provides a practical framework for identifying the barriers holding you back. You will learn how to shift your focus from outside events to your own internal narratives to create a more coherent life. We break down the exact steps to begin reframing perspective so you can move forward with intention.
