Important topics broken down in small sessions over different days keep you focused and […]

The Alignment Project is a wonderful process and facilitation. Really assisted in setting the course with responsibilities and roles

The program (The Alignment Prpoject) was well organized and focused on ensuring that the team collaboration and understanding of each other was paramount. Our facilitator was extremely good at challenging our assumptions and holding up a mirror, when necessary.

Excellent course! Should be suggested as part of the welcoming package for new leaders. Mirella is so good on transferring the knowledge that she has, and at answering the questions. Flow of the program was summarized perfectly in 2 days.

One of the best soft skills course I had. Mirella has much knowledge of the subject and is a perfect teacher. She showed enough experience to answer the questions. I enjoyed to 2 day training and I will suggest others to take it. I will definitely use this course in life.

Really well-done course. Mirella was awesome; very soft-spoken and polity. It was a lot of fun to learn from her and shave my thoughts.

It was eye opening! Very engaging and impactful. I definitely recommend to all managers/leaders who are willing to invest on their talent development and employees for future leaders. The material was very well prepared, excellent flow which impact individuals to think and reflect on themselves.

I felt privileged to have had such a qualified and experienced facilitator. Mirella gave us a lot of insights into behavioral science as well as many practical examples. I will definitely take away a lot from this course! Thank you!

Great course! It helps develop my default mode network.

Mirella is a great facilitator; very professional and so knowledgeable! Content is well-structured and balanced between exercises and theory. Very interesting and eye opener on how we can improve as professionals but most importantly; as human beings.

The program forces you to be honest and vulnerable in a work setting which does not happen often. The role playing forces you to try the techniques and engage in the method.

The program is well-structured. It delivers a relevant and profound message. This program will not only enable my ability to identify blind spots, take ownership, provide feedback and form/shape goals, but will also provide tools for every day communication and collaboration.

As someone who did not really know what I was about to experience. I felt like I was thrown in the deep end of the pool but with a lifeguard watching my every move and making me feel safe. I learned the difference between coaching and managing, a diff I did not realize existed before. The […]

Excellent workshop! Learning a new way of thinking following practical exercises really helped understand the coaching method. Mirella was excellent! I felt fortunate to be part of such a small personal group.

The program is excellent. It reoriented my approach for interactions, especially with team members. I have been utilizing the ‘navigational’ approach for several months now and it has been an exhilarating journey. It is such a great approach because both participants benefit in the long run.

The Alignment Project Program was very helpful in identifying key issues and constructive solutions. Particularly effective in creating a shift in communication styles and understanding. Mirella did a superb job herding the cats and adding insights. Wonderful facilitation and having all engaged. Wordsmithing of leadership team charter very well done.

She makes everyone very comfortable to learn and make mistakes and is quick on her feet when people have challenging situations or examples to […]

Very good program – theory is balanced with practice. Very good facilitator. Practical part is very helpful.

Excellent material with great participation and an exceptional facilitator! Mirella is thoughtful and caring and provides insightful feedback that facilitates learning.

In two words: My inspiration! I had the privilege to work with Mirella De Civita as my mentor for my Coaching degree at Concordia University. My mentoring experience with Mirella was extremely useful during my coaching practice. She was my guide during all this process and she always provided great insights that pushed me to […]

I have known Mirella for many years and value her insights and unique views on  leadership development. She has taken on several coaching mandates and has been highly successful in growing our talents. Given her high expertize and credibility in the organization, we have invited Mirella as a guest speaker on several occasions around the […]

Practical and simple tools that are easy to remember, coupled with useful handouts. It makes the retention of the knowledge that much easier.

She always demonstrates deep knowledge of the subject matter; she is an excellent […]

Great course! Right balance between theory, thinking, practice and feedback. Good practical tools we can now use. Clearly a course that the complete organization would benefit from.

I had the pleasure to meet Louis for coaching related to Chief executive’s approaches, what they have top of mind, clarify what their ultimate goals are, how I can interact better with them and understand better their situation as the company leaders. He brought personal life examples with a touch of humour and goes beyond […]

Louis is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. He truly takes the time to ensure that you feel 100% heard and understood. His personality combined with his experience and knowledge make his coaching tailored and authentic. I’m confident that if you make a commitment to Louis with your time you will […]

J’ai été en contact avec Louis au cours des 4 dernières années. Sa disponibilité et ses retours rapides le caractérisent. Il aide à remettre en question certains paradigmes, sujets, et convictions. Ses conseils sont toujours à point et d’une grande perspicacité. C’est un plaisir d’avoir Louis comme coach. J’en ai bénéficié grandement.

Bringing me back […]

I met Mirella when coaching was just an abstract concept for me and she is the one that awoke the coaching passion in me. She has been a constant presence in my coaching journey that started almost 5 years ago, so when the time came, there was nobody else I would chose as a mentor. […]

I worked with Mirella as my mentor coach and she provided me with a structured coaching program. Her feedback was always very detailed and specific, well balanced between the positive and competencies that required more work. She worked through the 11 competencies ensuring I was mastering each one and practicing until they were well integrated. […]

I have had the pleasure of working with Mirella for a number of years, so when an opportunity arose for me to select a mentor for my ICF ACC credentialing renewal, my first choice was Mirella.

Mirella provided an exceptional mentor coaching experience.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Mirella for almost 10 years as both a personal executive coach and as a human resource, leadership and talent management consultant. Her professionalism, insight, and integrity is unmatched by anyone that I have come across in the almost four decades of my business career. She also has […]

Mirella mentored me during a period of 6 months while I was studying towards an ICF recognized coaching certification. I must admit it has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career.
