    October 2018

    LeadersToday, a Russian magazine published in Novosibirsk, featured Eleonora Bonacossa in its October 2018 issue, highlighting its mission of connecting Siberia and Europe.

    The magazine aims to serve as a hub connecting Siberia with Europe, particularly Italy.

    Her interview, titled „Thinking with the Heart: Feeling with the Mind“, was published in both Russian and Italian and explored the challenges modern leadership faces today.

    The feature preceded Eleonora Bonacossa’s business trip to Novosibirsk in November 2018, where she led a masterclass for a group of women entrepreneurs, delivered a keynote speech at the Novosibirsk Philharmonic, gave a radio interview on Radio Business FM, and participated in other events for women leaders.

„Great leaders aren’t know-it alls who constantly try to outshine everyone. They admit when they are wrong and genuinely want to learn from others.“
