Meet Your Coach

Francesca Dal Bello, ICF PCC – Founder and Coach.

I didn’t start with 1200+ coaching hours; I started with a belief that courage is the foundation of change. My ICF PCC accreditation and 8+ years of coaching have since validated that the Gr8fool method delivers tangible, measurable results.

Gr8fool began with a wild idea, a Harley called HeiD, and a 1,500km solo ride from London to my hometown near Venice. I wasn’t an experienced biker—far from it—but I was craving freedom, adventure, and a challenge that would shake me awake. What started as a joke (“Just ride your bike to Italy!”) became a fundraising mission for a cause in Nepal, a journey of growth across Europe, and the spark that ignited a whole new way of living.

I documented the ride and the volunteering along the way on a newly-created Instagram account: @theGr8fool – a name blending gratitude and the playful, courageous “fool” who dares to do it. That journey changed everything. It taught me to trust my instincts, embrace the unknown, and say yes to the ideas that scare me.

Today, I coach others to achieve transformation and real results.

Gr8fool is dedicated to supporting anyone committed to their values, personal and business growth, and the breakthroughs that happen when you step outside your comfort zone – to champion ideas others might call crazy.
