Education can guide us like a lighthouse.
Research-based business sustainability & self-awareness workshops and short courses

Hello, I’m Alessia!
I am an educator and researcher.
After graduating, I knew the theory but not yet who I was or where I wanted to go. Discovering self-awareness and emotional intelligence changed my life.
I now help students and young professionals build that same clarity, creating research-based business sustainability workshops grounded in self-awareness.
Education, for me, is a lighthouse that enlightens and helps craft a direction.
I deliver research-based business sustainability workshops, grounded in self-awareness, for PhD and Master students, start-up incubators, and associations of family business.

Why “Pharus Learning”?
Inspired by the Latin wordpharus, meaning “lighthouse,” Pharus Learning reflects the belief that education is a guiding force, illuminating minds and empowering individuals to cultivate understanding, empathy, and meaningful change.
A lighthouse doesn’t just give light: it helps identify a position. In navigation, a lighthouse is a reference point that allows sailors to understand where they are and chart their course.
In much the same way, Pharus Learning supports students and professionals as they explore where they are and where they want to go next.
