Pellegrino the Human...
… as opposed to Pellegrino the water … and you would be amazed how many people actually ask Pellegrino if he has anything to do with the famous blue-labelled sparkling water you often find in up-market restuarants.
Being human and understanding what makes humans “tick” is what Pellegrino has been passionate about for almost four decades, long before terms like “soft skills” and “emotional intelligence” had even entered the language.
During that time, he has put his human knowledge skills to use by providing talks, workshops, and training to all kinds of audiences from both the private and public sectors, and for some of the best-known brands in the world.
