The Moonshot Company

Founded by Chiara Longhi, the Moonshot Co is a tailored program thought for both individuals and businesses. Our mission is to enable the next generation of leaders to reach their moonshot, whatever that might be. As part of this mission, we are also committed to help organisations establish the most suitable environment for this talent to thrive.

The Moonshot Company is not a traditional coaching and advisory program, as it really provides people with the knowledge and tools they need to unleash their potential and reach their goals: from helping individuals land their dream job through 1-1 coaching, interviewing tips and resume reviews, to advising professionals and businesses on topics such as emotional intelligence for leadership and success, product strategy and customer-centricity innovation.

What others are saying

Different from the rest

I met Chiara during her speech at WXI I think I chose that session because it sounded different from the others. There were many great speakers at WxI, but when Chiara started talking, I realised she was also different from the rest. Some people on stage want to show they’re charismatic, some others have stage-fright; Chiara was neither: she smiled at us, it was like it wasn’t about her, it was about us. She just wanted to be of value for us. She wanted us to understand emotional intelligence, because we could benefit from it, and she did it by making complicated and abstract topics seem suddenly quite easy and practical. She was the one speaking, but I felt I was the one on stage. I guess that is indeed a practical example of emotional intelligence. Thank you, Chiara

Practical Inspiration!

Chiara’s impact on our team at Novartis ANZ has been nothing short of extraordinary. During her time with us, Chiara embodied the leadership principles that make Amazon such a respected organization. Her ability to challenge and motivate our teams (at all levels) to think differently was remarkable. She consistently went above and beyond, and her selflessness and dedication were truly inspiring. We will always be grateful for the invaluable contributions she made for our team and organization.

Innovation Workshop

I was fortunate enough to work with Chiara during 2021. We spent many sessions unpacking a large problem statement where she challenged me to think bigger and more creatively. Chiara and her teaching style was like nothing I had ever had in my previous 20 years of working experience – her passion for ideas, her excitement when the idea flourished and the way she made me feel during the sessions was one of empowerment, support and opportunity. Chiara is authentic, innovative and her ability to earn the trust of not only myself, but from the wider group involved in the program of work, all whilst working virtually, was a huge credit to her expertise. Chiara is an absolute asset to the individuals and organizations she helps to think outside the large square we have all worked in for too long.

A real breakthrough!

Chiara's workshop was a real breakthrough for me! She was talking about emotional intelligence and we immediately saw a great example of it...herself. Right from the start she was able to put people in the room at ease and convey the information in a clear and engaging way. I really appreciated the advice and practical examples she gave . Top notch experience! I hope to see her again soon
