Yuri Buzzi, Communication Coach
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today and what makes you unique.
I want to share something personal—the moment everything shifted for me, even though it completely contrasted with what I thought I wanted. Back then, I was chasing what I believed mattered most: money and recognition.
Picture this: I was in my 20s, filled with ambition. I had just quit my law degree after ten exams to pursue my dream of becoming an international actor. My vision was clear—or so I thought. I believed success meant fame and financial security. Fast forward a decade to when I was 33, working my way up through various jobs, hustling to make that dream a reality.
One afternoon, I was folding T-shirts at Armani after a big audition a few days earlier for the role of Martini brand ambassador. Suddenly, my phone rang—it was an international number. My English wasn’t great at the time, but I answered. On the other end of the line, I heard, “Mr. Buzzi, do you remember the international casting you did in Milan? Well, congratulations, you’re the winner!”
I’ll never forget how it felt. I was literally jumping up and down in the shop, yelling, “Unbelievable!” My friends stared at me like I’d lost my mind. It felt like the pinnacle of success International Interviews - Check Here: a global campaign, magazine interviews, commercials, and a big contract.
But here’s the twist. A few months into the role, I noticed something unsettling—the same unfulfilled feeling I had ignored for years crept back. I was achieving everything I thought I wanted, but it wasn’t enough. It was like being stuck in a loop, chasing “the better version of myself” that always seemed out of reach.
This was my plateau of latent potential—the gap between what I thought achieving success would feel like and the reality of it. It’s something so many of us experience without even realizing it.
The wake-up call came through subtle signals. I noticed how happy and fulfilled I felt when I was helping others—whether it was giving advice, listening, or simply making someone feel seen and understood. That’s when I realized my core values had shifted. It wasn’t about money or recognition anymore. It was about connection, growth, and making a difference in people’s lives.
This realization marked a turning point for me, blending my passion for acting and creativity with my mission as a communication coach. Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of working with more than 300 individuals, helping them find their voice and confidence. I’ve also hosted fully booked seminars for the Soho House Circuit—a private global network for creative minds around the world.
What makes my approach unique is the synergy of expertise I bring years of experience in acting and directing, combined with a diploma in transformational coaching. This allows me to offer a holistic method—merging personal growth strategies with technical acting and communication exercises. It’s a process that not only strengthens skills but also helps individuals build confidence and discover their authentic expression.
As a gesture of gratitude, I’m excited to share a free resource: The Masterpiece Plan. This guide is crafted to help you communicate with clarity, authenticity, and purpose, starting from within. It would be an honor to support and amplify your story and vision, turning them into something truly impactful.

What drives and inspires you?
What inspires me most is the incredible power of the mind—the way it can shape our lives, dictate our decisions, and influence our outcomes if we let it take the lead. This fascination has driven me to become an expert in emotional intelligence, focusing on how to guide our feelings, vulnerabilities, fears, and anxieties. Rather than avoiding or suppressing these emotions, I’ve learned to help others recognize, accept, and transform them into sources of strength.
These three emotions—vulnerability, fear, and anxiety—are often misunderstood as weaknesses. But in truth, they hold immense potential to become our greatest allies. When acknowledged and guided with intention, they can propel us toward growth, authenticity, and deep, meaningful connections. This transformation isn’t just empowering; it’s life-changing. It’s about embracing the raw, human parts of ourselves and using them as a foundation for resilience and success.
For me, this realization didn’t come easy. Like many, I once wore masks of made-up confidence, projecting a version of myself that felt invincible but wasn’t true to who I was. It was driven by the ego, a façade crafted to hide my fears and shield my vulnerability. But over time, I realized that this kind of confidence was fragile—dependent on external validation and easily shaken by life’s challenges.
The turning point was understanding that true confidence comes from embracing our full, raw, and unfiltered selves. When we drop the masks and stand in our truth, we allow ourselves to shine in ways that no material achievement or external validation ever could.
Here’s the distinction I’ve come to embrace:
Confidence rooted in possessions, status, or achievements is fleeting—it can vanish as quickly as it came.
Confidence tied to skills or talents, while admirable, is also vulnerable to life’s unpredictability. Injuries, failures, or changes can shake it.
But confidence in who you are, in your story, your humanity, and your imperfections—that’s unshakable. It’s the kind of confidence no one can take away.
This inner confidence starts with acknowledging how do we feel—mentally, physically, and emotionally—and taking daily small, deliberate steps to improve and nurture those feelings. Every day becomes an opportunity to align closer to your authentic self.
What drives me is helping others recognize this within themselves. By reframing vulnerability, fear, and anxiety as gateways rather than obstacles, I guide my clients to own their unique story and communicate it with clarity, presence, and authenticity. When you harness these emotions as tools for self-expression, you become unstoppable—not despite your imperfections, but thanks to them.
So, my inspiration lies in this: the courage it takes to be fully human, to embrace every shade of our existence, and to show up as the masterpiece we already are.
What key advice do you have for achieving success?
To achieve success in any field, you need clarity—clarity about your purpose, your direction, and your inner drive. But clarity doesn’t just show up; it’s something you must uncover. Here’s my first and most important advice: know your "why”. Not just a vague idea or a nice thought—know it deeply, like the back of your hand. Your "why" is your anchor when life gets messy, the engine that drives you forward when plans go sideways. When you truly understand what motivates you, nothing can stop you.
Understanding why you’re doing something creates an unshakable foundation. Without it, even the strongest efforts can feel aimless. One exercise I recommend for this is the “7 Levels Deep Exercise”. This simple but profound practice helps you peel back the layers of surface-level motivation to reveal your core purpose. Here’s how it works:
Start by asking yourself: “What do I want to achieve?”
Then ask: “Why is this important to me?”
Whatever your answer, ask again: “Why does this matter?”
Repeat this process seven times, diving deeper with each question.
By the time you reach the seventh “why,” you’ll often find yourself confronting powerful truths about your deepest desires and values. You may even realize that some of your dreams aren’t truly yours—they might belong to societal expectations or your ego’s need for recognition. But this realization is a gift: it clears the path for authentic, purposeful action.
Another key piece of advice is to create space in your daily routine to “pause and recharge.” Success isn’t just about pushing harder; it’s about pacing yourself. I’ve found that integrating grounding exercises into my day helps me stay focused, especially during overwhelming moments.
One of my go-to techniques is the “5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Exercise”:
5: Acknowledge five things you can see.
4: Notice four things you can touch.
3: Listen for three sounds you can hear.
2: Identify two things you can smell.
1: Recognize one thing you can taste.
This simple practice brings you back to the present, calming your mind and resetting your focus. Success isn’t just about grand achievements; it’s about being present in the process.
Lastly, remember that success isn’t just about reaching big milestones—it’s about celebrating the small victories along the way. If you can’t find joy in the little moments, the big wins won’t feel fulfilling either. Pause daily, visualize your success, and feel the meaning behind each step forward.
In the end, true success is a balance of a clear mind, a healthy body, and a purpose that feels authentic to you. That’s the foundation on which everything else is built.
Is there a core value that you are most passionate about and what you stand for?
At my core, I’m passionate about authenticity, growth, and empathy. These aren’t just words for me—they’re the foundation of how I help others. I believe true communication begins when we connect with our genuine selves, stripping away the layers of fear, expectation, and self-doubt that often cloud our expression. That’s why I’m so focused on empowering my clients to embrace their true voice—because when we speak from a place of authenticity, the world listens.
Growth is at the heart of everything I do. Communication isn’t just a skill—it’s an evolving journey. I provide practical tools, strategies, and insights to help my clients continuously improve and adapt, whether they’re speaking in front of a crowd or navigating a conversation with a loved one. I’ve seen firsthand how small shifts in mindset can lead to profound changes in confidence and clarity.
Empathy, however, is the glue that holds it all together. I create with my clients a space where we all feel heard and supported. Communication isn’t just about speaking—it’s about being understood. That’s why I take an individualized approach, meeting people where they are and guiding them with compassion. When we feel safe, we allow ourselves to grow and express who we truly are.
What I stand for is the belief that communication should not be a source of fear or pressure but a tool for connection. Whether it’s public speaking or day-to-day conversations, my goal is to help others break through their barriers and build confidence in a way that feels natural. Storytelling, empathy, and practical exercises are key to this transformation. When we communicate authentically, we’re not just expressing ourselves—we’re connecting with others on a deeper level, and that’s where true growth happens.
