ABOUT RITA PALUMBO

I lead the strategy on Advanced Manufacturing of Electronics for space at ESA, a long-term effort to make Europe less dependent on foreign supply chains and reduce the time it takes to build a spacecraft. I\'m also a self-leadership coach for high-performing women. What do these two have in common?When a spacecraft component fails, it is rarely because it doesn’t know how to do its job. The failure is almost always in the foundation - the structure, the mechanism, the physical system underneath. High-performing women are no different. The problem is not skill. It is the foundation. And a person’s foundation is their body and nervous system.I work with high-performing professional women through a body-first coaching method built on nervous system science, somatic practice, and rigorous self-inquiry. Not more confidence strategies - a woman who leads from the inside out, without the constant effort of performing herself.If you are here for the aerospace and advanced manufacturing work, welcome. If something in the above landed - that is the door. Free guided practice for the woman who is successful on paper and quietly exhausted underneath: https://ritapalumbointernational.com/free-resources
