Hi, I am Luca Leonardini | Purpose-Driven Culture & Innovation Coach
I help founders and leadership teams design purpose-driven organizational cultures and future-proof their organizations through a clear and consolidated framework.
Why I love what I do
The big challenge? Turning organizations into meaningful places to work — where people thrive because culture and purpose truly align.
That's where my personal purpose, "accelerating the business mindset's shift globally," drives what I do: helping founders and leadership teams reconnect with meaning — and turn it into impactful strategy.
How I work
The method is a clear, three-step transformation process
Helping organizations consolidate their culture, and enable purpose in all daily activities at every level is a journey. Where does the journey begin?
It begins with the natural sequence that brings individual and organizational purpose closer together through the following three steps: Codify Your Purpose, Identify Company Purpose, and Enable Company Purpose.
This sequence is the blueprint for all our projects — where we transform organizational culture into a new business process.
In the third step, we apply the Culture as a Business Process framework. This allows us to help teams and organizations generate positive impact, become better places to work, and tap into the enormous potential of a purposeful workforce aligned with a purpose-driven organizational culture.

De-risking decisions through AI simulation

Aipermind Strategy Lab
A full-service strategic simulation center. We delegate the complete market crash-test to the infrastructure to deliver a binding technical validation report.

FAQ
-
Because without it, you’re just optimizing the present. Purpose is the heart of organizational culture — without it, there is no real culture, only manuals and job descriptions. It gives direction, meaning, and coherence. A clear purpose helps create an environment where people are free to express their full potential, feel they belong to something meaningful, and act in alignment with the group’s values — in every situation.
-
A culture where people find meaning in what they do, and where purpose it’s the engine behind strategy, innovation, and daily operations, not just an empty statement.
-
It all begins with a natural sequence that brings individual and organizational purpose closer together: Codify Your Purpose, Identify Company Purpose, Enable Company Purpose.
This sequence becomes the blueprint for transforming culture into a real business process — one that connects purpose with behaviors, processes, and decisions. Culture stops being a soft topic and starts driving performance.

I work with entrepreneurs and leadership teams across businesses, institutions, and academia — especially those navigating transitions, growth, or the need to realign their culture with their future vision.

The method starts from people, not tools. It’s designed for organizations at any stage — even if you’ve never worked on purpose or culture before. Through a clear, three-step transformation process, it connects individual and organizational purpose and turns culture into a real business process — not just a narrative.
-
It’s a sequence of three intentionally designed modes:
Individual Purpose Alignment: After reading Codify Your Purpose and completing its exercises, each team member joins four one-hour coaching sessions to define their own purpose statement.
Identify Company Purpose: a two-day retreat plus a debrief session to define organizational purpose and manifesto.
Enable Company Purpose: using what’s been learned in the first two phases, we co-design processes that embed purpose throughout the organization.
The first two phases are relatively quick and can be completed within two months. The third step, however, is time-intensive, depending on your organization’s size, resources, readiness for change, and urgency to act.
