Aviation & Aerospace Specialist, Senior Director, Pratt & Whitney
This isn’t my official testimonial just yet - - - I’m only halfway through the Impactful Conversations program, but I felt compelled to share some thoughts with you now, Stefano. I regularly seek out leadership training as part of my personal and professional growth, and while many programs offer something useful, none have resonated with me quite like this one facilitated by you. From the engaging case studies, your thoughtful artwork & props, to your powerful storytelling and real-world examples, every element is perfectly timed, relevant, and deeply impactful (just like the program name). I've never truly looked forward to trainings before but I’m genuinely looking forward to the sessions ahead. How's that for "feedback"? 😉 Thank you, Stefano!

AlLe, Pratt & Whitney
I signed up for this course several months ago after hearing great "feedback" about Papillon [MDC] programs, like Navigation Coaching. Honestly, I was mostly drawn in by Papillon [MDC]’s reputation and by Stefano [Di Lollo] as a unique facilitator. I had also heard wonderful things about Mirella. Since I’m still relatively new to the company, I haven’t had the chance to attend many leadership trainings here — which is why I took the time to ask around. The topic didn’t particularly interest me at first, because while I don’t have decades of experience, I felt I already had a solid handle on feedback. What I didn’t expect was how eye-opening the course would be. The tools offered went far beyond the typical “hamburger” method. Stefano truly delivered — his expertise came through clearly in his examples and visuals. I really appreciated the spontaneous role-play Stefano surprised us with. In the end, I’m genuinely glad I took this course. Thank you!

Mhouar Bilal, Machining Operations Planner, Pratt Canada
I recommend this course because it offered me new tools and fresh perspectives on how to give more effective feedback—even highlighting things I was already doing well without realizing it. Stefano [Di Lollo], the facilitator-coach, shared thoughtful and relevant personal stories at the perfect moments. This course is a valuable resource for anyone looking to grow as a manager or leader when it comes to giving feedback. I also truly appreciated the powerful visuals that supported the content—I'll definitely be referring back to the manual whenever I need a refresher.

Bruno, Group Lead - Materials Specialist, PWC
A very good training. Thank you, Stefano, for your expertise and this experience which will truly help us!

Director, Pratt & Whitney
I’m going to strongly recommend the course. Thank you, Stefano, for the great sharing of examples. I really liked your touch of humor. I also appreciated the introspection on blind spots. I’ve already identified a situation to address with a direct report, and I’m going to use the method. It’s going to help me become a better leader. Very good course!

Daliana
This program was an excellent refresher in leadership essentials as well as an introduction to leadership concepts beyond the essentials. Stefano addresses any leadership challenge brought to his attention super well with well-derived and relevant conclusions and solutions. Kim provides good follow-up questions. The last two days of the workshop were very interactive and efficient.

Anne-Sophie
This program provides the opportunity to learn in a safe space. It also simultaneously allows leaders to create strong connections which is precious. The level 2 portion of the program is energizing. We deepened our team connections while revisiting key concepts from the module, exploring new ideas, and seeing how everything fits together through practical application. Thank you!

Director at Alstom
This training was very beneficial. For me, the topic of growth mindset resonated with me the most as it was very helpful in gaining self-awareness. During Level 2, the role-playing and open dialogue were particularly enjoyable and very helpful. Stefano Di Lollo was engaging and very easy to pay attention to. He creates a comfortable environment to share one's vulnerabilities and learn.

Senior Leader, Alstom
This program was fantastic and the facilitators were fantastic! I found the last 2 days to be extremely positive, and I enjoyed every interaction. I also really enjoyed the pod coaching because it provides much insight while listening and then contributing without resolving the issue for the person is more powerful than I could have imagined. Asking open and powerful questions remains one of my goals to work on. The facilitation style was really fun (THANK YOU, Stefano + Kim)! This program truly provided me with an opportunity to reflect on ME and how I work with others!

Alstom Leader
I found the content on growth mindset challenging to apply which is why it resonated with me and spending time in a training like this one helps without a doubt. The facilitators were very articulate and able to establish a good rhythm.

Anonymous, Senior Leader / Alstom
This program helped me analyze and navigate "sticky situations" (I can't help but laugh when I think of Stefano's artwork of the gum stuck under the dress shoe). I appreciate the strategies to use specific sequences and structures to guide our thinking in difficult workplace moments. The facilitators showed great vulnerability and knew how to ask the right questions. It's an advantage to have facilitators who are also experienced executive coaches.

Anonymous, Senior Leader at Alstom
Each module of this program gave me the opportunity to better understand myself and identify my own actions for development. I cannot select which part resonated with me the most. It all had a purpose. I am truly interested in continuing to discuss what we learned with other peers, alumni of this Papillon [MDC] program, top management at Alstom...etc. Thank you, Stefano. Thank you, Kim. It was a pleasure to be all together. The ceremony was quite emotional and touching. I will likely be writing another review because this one does not do my experience justice.

Philippe Krefta, Alstom Group
This was a very useful training that helped us challenge ourselves on how we show up as leaders while allowing us to take a step back to see how our current leadership skills and be improved to better impact the people who surround us and change within the organization. The in-person component was a great refresher on the theory we'd learned with the opportunity to put it into practice during the exercises. I appreciated how the facilitators shared concrete examples (not just theory). They were able to demonstrate the leadership they explained during the modules.

Leader Embodying "AIR"
Thank you for this program, including the coaching sessions, and for your ability to share, and help us adapt this leadership content to our day-to-day reality and operations. The last 2 days were amazing and not just the training itself but the exercises that gave us stimulating ways to interact and get to know each other as a leadership team (oneness as Stefano puts it). Stefano and Kim, your vast experience, ability to lead the discussions, share your own real experiences, and help us create a new vision was impressive. I really feel I learned the most about how I can approach my peers, direct reports, and senior management with confidence. Thank you!!!

Geni Bonera
The listening portion within the module on managerial courage may have been difficult to put into practice but it also resonated with me the most. The program was very good and led by very good facilitators who were approachable, and open to discuss subjects in detail. They always establised a good rhytym and flow that was not too fast nor too slow. I enjoyed the in-person component because it gave us the opportunity to communicate and exchange ideas with the team in person.

Xavier, Alstom
A program that provides insights and opportunities to interact with other leaders on real-life examples. Stefano and Kim are great facilitators and complement each other using their respective experiences to illustrate concepts with concrete examples.

Marcelo | Alstom
This program was an amazing experience that allowed us to truly become better leaders. Stefano & Kim have different styles but both have the great ability to share technical concepts with teams in ways that help people turn them into leadership actions. I found the 2-day live event complimented the virtual sessions on Zoom.

Senior Level Leader at Alstom
An engaging and enjoyable finale that went out with a bang. Managerial courage was the aspect that I find myself needing to focus on the most. Stefano Di Lollo and Kim are knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. They truly bring new perspectives to solving problems and leadership challenges.

Daniel Heinke
This was a very good experience for me. The content around blind spots, protective behaviors, and purpose resonated the most with me. The facilitator-coaches were always motivated and ready to answer questions and share knowledge. They were also very dynamic which made the sessions very good.

Jean, Alstom
Great! The facilitators were open, approachable, energetic, and engaging. I appreciated the portion on pschological safety. This program was the best!!

Luisa Plut, Country Finance Director, Alstom (Brazil)
Luisa Plut, Country Finance Director, Alstom (Brazil) This training opened my eyes to different management challenges that we grapple with daily in both work and life, and it gave me the tools and insights needed to tackle them.

Anonymous, Alstom Senior Leader
The module on "Managerial Courage" truly resonated with me, and it remains my favorite module. The virtual sessions were good, but the live portion was excellent, and I enjoyed the 2-day event so much! There were a lot of good practical examples and cases, and it was also an excellent networking opportunity. The facilitators were great and shared a lot of insightful content. I truly appreciated Stefano's storytelling approach as it helped link the content to real-world applications. This helps transform content that can be quite conceptual and complex into something practical. I'm very pleased to have been a part of it all even if it was difficult at times given our busy schedules.

Sylvain BOUTHIERE, Site Quality Director, ALSTOM Hornell NY
Honored to have been part of this program. Really rich learning, sharing, & coaching experiences. At times, it was difficult to prioritize the course over the work, but in the end, every minute was well worth it. For me, what changed within me as a result of this Papillon program involved both, my professional work and and personal life; empathy and active listening resonated for me. This changes the whole approach of how we interact with people. And then, confirmation bias and the brain's threat detection system; this helps gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us. When you are mentally ready to apply everything learned, you feel much more powerful! The final 2-day event with the in-person sessions were really interesting experiences (we'd forgotten how valuable seeing each other really is). I recommend this program and I already did recommend it to others. Thanks, Stefano. Have a good one!

Lucas Pessôa Pedreira Lapa, Head of Legal at Alstom (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru & Ecuador)
My experience in the program was truly transformative. It provided me with clarity about the kind of leader I aspire to be—more empathic, more attuned to my team’s needs, and committed to fostering both my own development as a manager and the professional growth of my team members. Throughout the program, we explored several impactful strategies that I’ve already begun applying in my daily work, receiving positive feedback as a result. These strategies have proven effective, and I’m committed to integrating them into my leadership approach moving forward. Our facilitators (Stefano & Kim), demonstrated exceptional skill in guiding us—not just as a group, but also at an individual level, ensuring personalized support and insights. The in-person, two-day event for the program’s conclusion, at our headquarters in St Bruno/ Montreal, was a standout experience. It was an excellent opportunity to update our skills in leadership and management while allowing us to actively apply what we’d learned while exchanging meaningful, real-world experiences with our dear colleagues. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to leaders seeking to enhance their skills, as well as to those striving to adopt a more "human" and efficient approach to leading their teams. Thank you very much, Stefano! The training was outstanding!

Senior Director, Desjardins
Working with Stefano as my coach was a truly refreshing experience. His questions consistently guided me back to self-reflection, helping me realize that the locus of control is often within me. The "status quo" is not set in stone. He also helped me break down challenges in a way that made them more manageable and actionable. As a result, I feel I now have a sense of renewed ability to nurture my work in new and meaningful ways.

Global Real Estate Investment Expert , Ivanhoé Cambridge
Stefano was my coach during an exhilarating yet challenging period in my career. While I was experiencing rapid professional growth, I was eager to sustain the momentum but hadn’t fully recognized how aspects of my leadership style—distinct from my expertise—were limiting my potential. I didn’t fully recognize the impact my fast-paced approach was having on my team, or that, in some cases, I was becoming a bottleneck without realizing it. Stefano’s approach, which he describes as 'gently holding my feet to the fire,' encouraged me to step back and gain a broader, almost bird’s-eye perspective on the "turbulence" that was holding me back. His guidance was instrumental in helping me level up as a leader, and I deeply appreciated both his thoughtful coaching style and the transformative experience that he facilitated.

LW, Alstom
Stefano, thank you for helping our Alstom orchestra play a better leadership symphony. 🎺 This was a great learning opportunity.

Department Lead & Veteran at Alstom
This AIR program was truly amazing. It was so invaluable and I'm so pleased that I was nominated by Alstom to be a part of it. For me, the opportunity to reflect and learn about the topics from the program as well as the interaction with peers was so refreshing and needed. The workshop on managerial courage truly inspired me. Stefano, thank you for bringing your knowledge and endless level of energy month after month and week after week. I'm hoping our paths cross again.

Senior Manager, Alstom Leaders Embodying AIR program
I recently had the opportunity to participate in an outstanding leadership course that significantly enriched my professional development. The program was meticulously designed, combining theoretical frameworks with practical applications that I found to be both engaging and insightful. The facilitators [Stefano Di Lollo & Kim Miles] brought a wealth of experience and knowledge, fostering an environment conducive to open dialogue and collaboration. Each session was filled with interactive discussions, real-world case studies, and invaluable networking opportunities with fellow participants from diverse backgrounds. One of the most impactful aspects of the course was its focus on empathy and emotional intelligence, which are crucial for effective leadership. Through various exercises and feedback sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of my leadership style and how to adapt it to inspire and motivate my team. Overall, I highly recommend this leadership course to anyone looking to enhance their leadership skills and make a meaningful impact within their organization. It was an exceptionally productive and informative experience that I will carry with me throughout my career.

Chris, Alstom Rail Transport
I've already shared a testimonial about the positive impact this [Papillon MDC] leadership program has had, but I wanted to add a special mention regarding Stefano's use of metaphors in today's final pod coaching session. His ability to draw parallels through metaphors is creatively insightful, and I honestly have no idea how he does it live and in the moment. It was truly next level. Although the learning will continue, today’s session provided a fantastic wrap-up to the program. Thank you again!

M.C.C. , Sales Specialist & Leader
VALUE BEYOND MEASURE! I just wanted to share a quick note to let others know just how great of a job you do! I’m so glad I decided to partner with Stefano Di Lollo. Session after session, Stefano managed to get my creative juices flowing and hit me with eye-opening moments that will stay with me for a lifetime. We developed a valuable and lasting relationship. His dedication to my leadership development was just what I needed to strengthen my goals and objectives. I very much appreciated his ability to co-partner with me, coach me, and guide me in my leadership journey. A truly unforgettable experience.

AL, Senior Manager & Project Management Expert, GoLead, Pratt & Whitney Canada
The [Purposeful Coaching] program was an incredible opportunity for group learning with colleagues I rarely get to see in person. Stefano, as both coach and facilitator, is an excellent communicator and a great teacher. The examples he shared were incredibly relevant, and his attention to detail—from the visuals in his presentation to the high quality of his handouts—was outstanding. Even the participant name cards were like artwork—I kept mine for my office. I also appreciated his use of humor to keep things fun. Thank you, Papillon [MDC]! Looking forward to next time.

Rogerio Laudares, PMP (Pittsburgh)
It was a really great moment to develop our leadership skills along with a constructive exchange of experiences. Thank you, coaches [Stefano & Kim, Papillon MDC Inc.], and all of our [Alstom] colleagues for the positive approach.

Meily Franco, Tax Executive & Director Latam, Alstom (São Paulo, Brazil)
Such great moments both inside and outside the classroom! Lots of learning and shared experiences with our colleagues from [Alstom] Americas and our [Papillon MDC] coaches, Stefano Di Lollo and Kim.

Chris Johnston, Head of Project Quality & Safety Management at Alstom (Pittsburgh)
I’m very fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to have participated in Alstom’s AIR Leadership program over the last few months. Last week we all completed our our final module and finally got to meet face-to-face in Montreal with other colleagues from our cohorts. Thanks to Stefano Di Lollo and Kim L. Miles [Papillon MDC Inc.] for all their continuous help on this journey and to Alstom for providing the incredible opportunity! Onward and upward, here’s to never-ending development.

James Lynch, Manager Test/Validation, Aerospace (Toronto)
☆☆☆☆☆ Stefano was excellent - I highly recommend! I enjoyed his openness and he knew how to make people feel comfortable in providing their opinions. This [Purposeful Coaching] program opened my eyes on how to extract the root cause of an issue experienced by an employee by thinking differently.

Experienced Manager, PWC, MTL
Let's face it: Stefano Di Lollo is an absolute pro, a master with his words, and an entertaining and CREATIVE facilitator. For me, the workplace stories and examples he used resonated with me because I could relate on many levels. Though it's clear that Stefano has a considerable amount of experience, I respect that he also shared his own struggles in applying the techniques in order to help us get past our own resistance. Last but not least, his demonstration of how to use the Purposeful Coaching model was impressive. No one in the room even realized he was using the very method he was teaching at first! Thank you for showing us the "ART" of coaching, Stefano. I'm very interested in Papillon MDC services for future engagements with my team. I highly recommend.

Bartłomiej, Financial Controller, Aerospace (Poland)
The Purposeful Coaching workshops truly changed my mind and the assumptions that I had about coaching; I believe in the past I've associated the word "coaching" with something negative versus how I see it now, which is something positive for conversations. What I really liked about this program was Stefano as the experienced coach and his great way of providing knowledge that often didn't even feel like we were being taught but the learning was happening right there in the room.

Anna Radke, Value Stream Manager, Pratt & Whitney Canada
Stefano is a great facilitator, his positive energy and the real-world examples he provides make the training so interesting. I really believe in coaching and I love how this [Purposeful Coaching] program allows for practicing a new model which will help me grow as a leader. I truly appreciated the opportunity to combine theory and practice, I found the handouts helpful, and I like that we have the opportunity to discuss our challenges with others.

Aleksandar Pesic, Operations/Supervisor, Aerospace
This in-person [Purposeful Coaching] workshop helps reinforce tactics taken to make conversations "purposeful" through a coaching approach and explores why they are effective. The workshop was excellent, the instructor, Stefano, was excellent and engaging!

Krzysztof Pilch, Senior Manager Supply Chain, Aviation - APU Engines, Poland
Stefano Di Lollo brings a wealth of passion and experience. The [Purposeful Coaching] program provided a structured approach to my conversations, and I particularly liked the 3Rs model and the powerful questioning guide. These tools have given me a way to tackle challenges from a fresh perspective. Overall, I found the Papillon [MDC] program very good.

Alstom Leader from Cohort 6
Kim and Stefano, I just have to say, I’ve participated in numerous trainings at Alstom, but this one has truly been unlike any other. The past two days of in-person sessions have been an incredible experience for me—it’s a game changer. Even after hearing such positive things from others, this program has exceeded my expectations. Thank you to all of you and Papillon [MDC].

Dimitri Garinis, Pratt & Whitney Canada
Just completed this truly rewarding workshop on 'Impactful Conversations' offered by my employer Pratt & Whitney Canada. The training and content exceeded my expectations. Kudos to our instructor Stefano Di Lollo from Papillon MDC for his teaching style, course organization, and the materials provided. I highly recommend this for everyone's professional development.

Sara, Pratt & Whitney Canada
Thank you, Stefano, for the valuable knowledge you shared with us. A great experience.

Leader at Alstom
The module on [managerial] courage has given me so much to think about. There’s plenty that I don’t make time for and I realize my threat detection’s go-to protection behavior is often avoiding the things that bring me discomfort. Great workshop.

Director, Eng, at P&WC
This testimonial is a bit unconventional because I wasn’t able to attend the entire series of workshops. From what I did experience, what was shared was some really helpful and interesting insights which means I’ll need to enroll in the program again! Looking forward to seeing you again, Stefano.

P.Spec, PWC
I had so much going on at work that I almost considered skipping the Papillon [MDC] workshops, but after the first session, I was hooked. I made time for each module, and I’m so glad I did. Stephano, I’m ready to transform and take flight.

Sara, Pratt & Whitney Canada
I missed this program the last two times it was offered at PWC, so I was thrilled to finally experience it this time. I had heard great things about it, and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Very well-designed, it's practical, and Stefano was a great experienced facilitator. Merci!

Director at Alstom USA
As a result of Papillon MDC's L.E.AIR leadership program, I've been able to remove barriers for my team by having people speak up, preventing blame culture, and focusing on a culture "oneness" as Stefano puts it. I've implemented elements from every module. Thank you!

Neve J., Director
Today, I used a technique you [Stefano] taught me about reframing criticism and giving effective feedback to help a colleague. I guided her on how to approach an issue she was experiencing with another coworker. I’ve learned so much from you—thank you!

MM, Manager, Pratt & Whitney CAN
This was my second time taking a leadership program with you, Stefano, and I was truly hoping you'd be the one facilitating this one on feedback. I know there are aspects I resisted at first because of my past experiences, but your way of making us think in new ways while supporting us by providing tools and techniques is amazing. Thank you.

Demi, Project Engineer & Manager, PWC
The world has changed and this program is what is needed more than ever. Mr. Di Lollo is excellent at leading group discussions and has deep knowledge of the subject. He has a great ability to create and maintain smooth flow between learning modules. This was unlike most trainings I've taken and I really enjoyed it. I'd be interested in taking the Purposeful Coaching program.

Zaba, Engineering, Pratt & Whitney
Stefano is a master communicator, and you can tell he's really comfortable with the program content. He shares examples that make it easy to relate to everyday workplace situations. The Papillon [MDC] feedback models are way better and more practical than the basic hamburger method you usually see, and Stefano demonstrated them through role-playing. I highly recommend it.

Sebastien Guy, Requirements Analyst
Thx, Stefano! What a pleasure it was to hear from you recently! I'm not kidding, I was just praising you and the workshop/training you gave us a year ago! Still the best learning experience, I must say! ‎

Thiago Rodrigues, Alstom

Today, I received certification for the Alstom Senior Leadership program at our Americas HQ in Canada. It was an exceptional experience, featuring training and pod coaching with outstanding facilitators from [Papillon MDC]. I had the opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the globe, fostering genuine networking and exchange.

The training incorporated real-world examples, demonstrating how we, as leaders, can apply the techniques learned while contributing to the experiences and development of others. Alstom is investing in us to become leaders who will transform the region and the company, with empathy and accountability to deliver on expectations.

I deeply appreciate and thank everyone for the opportunity to be part of this transformative group. Count on me for this journey! Stefano Di Lollo, congratulations! It was a pleasure to share this training and pod coaching experience with you.‎ ‎‎‎

Ozzy

I had the pleasure of participating in the Leaders Embodying AIR initiative consisting of leadership training sessions and coaching led by Papillon MDC, and it was an incredibly transformative experience. Specifically, Stefano possesses a remarkable ability to distill complex leadership concepts into actionable insights, making the training both engaging and highly practical. Thanks to Stefano, Mirella, and Kim, I feel more confident in my leadership abilities and equipped with a toolkit of strategies to inspire and guide my team effectively. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills and make a meaningful impact in their organization. ‎ ‎‎‎

Rolf Karlsson, Director - Software Engineering

Stefano is an excellent trainer who provides many personal examples. The course has offered me valuable insights that I am now applying in my daily work. While many aspects require constant effort, I now have some triggers that help me stay on track. Thank you. ‎ ‎‎‎

Keesha Davis, Alstom

This learning experience was unique because I was able to learn from the executive coaching while also learning about the company at the same time. Being able to partner with different leaders having various backgrounds from across the globe provided a glance into how we can impact our company and truly be the change we want to see. I appreciate working with Stefano especially because he did not shy away from using his own, personal experiences to connect with our Cohort. It made him more relatable. ‎

S. Palacios, Alstom

An excellent course! Very interactive, with a lot of participation, very complete, and very practical! Thank you very much for the sessions, Stefano, I truly enjoyed the entire course and group coaching, and aside from the fact that this will help us to be better leaders, it will help us to become better people! ‎ ‎‎‎

Yalena Cerrud

I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to participate in this high-caliber program for leaders. The learning will be very useful in my daily activities as project director. It was an incredible experience to carve out time and take advantage of this opportunity so I could invest in my personal and professional development by learning tools and strategies for effective leadership. Also, I would like to give a special thanks to Stefano Di Lollo. He is an incredible facilitator, leader, and coach who was always encouraging our participation and employing a very effective teaching style. ‎ ‎‎‎

Pedro Machado

I thoroughly enjoyed the program. The topics covered made me reflect deeply on my team management approach, the discussions with my team yielded valuable insights, and the in-person component was fantastic. Obrigado, Stefano! ‎ ‎‎‎

Diego Nitta, Alstom

This training was a completely unique leadership experience, emphasizing internal transformation. I truly feel like a completely different person today because of this opportunity. Thank you, Stefano and the Papillon team. ‎ ‎‎‎

Alstom Leader Embodying AIR

This was an excellent leadership training that I would recommend for all managers! Thank you, Stefano & Kim!!!!! ‎ ‎‎‎

QIP, PWC

I learned a lot from Mr. Di Lollo about taking my collaboration to another level. I truly think this will help me. I truly enjoyed the creative exercises and practice. I would recommend this program to others within Pratt because there are so many people that could benefit from this learning. ‎ ‎‎‎

David Bélanger, PWC, Mirabel Plant 15

I loved the breakout rooms, I would have actually liked even more time practicing in them. I really appreciated the virtual format and that Stefano broke it up in a convenient way which included a 1.5 hr lunch period. This program was of great value to me and my team. Thank you, Stefano. ‎ ‎‎‎

Engineering, PWC

Excellent content about being concise and invoking a different thought process during conversations which addressed the the challenges of providing feedback, paying attention, and empowering people to find their own solutions rather than problem-solving for them. Stefano kept things fun and relevant to real workplace realities. I like the 5-step model q-card. ‎ ‎‎‎

Stefano, this is more of a comment I want to share than a testimonial. From the first session, I could see the skills that were used with me during my coaching sessions with my manager. The techniques that were used during these sessions left me with a very positive outlook regarding my career goals. I am excited to use these tools with my team.‎ ‎ ‎‎‎

Pratt & Whitney

‎Very good course that helps us learn to switch our mindset from a technical person to a coach/manager role. Thank you so much, Stefano. ‎ ‎‎‎

Manager, Raytheon Technologies

‎Class content was clear and nicely delivered. Concrete examples and compelling format - Easy to integrate.‎ ‎ ‎‎‎

Senior Executive, P&WC, April 2024

The content shared was very interesting, well-structured, and to the point. The team's interactions were also good. An excellent experience overall. Stefano's answers to my questions were helpful.‎ ‎ ‎‎‎

Pratt & Whitney Canada
Great course! Really appreciate Stefano's enthusiasm! Well done keeping us engaged in a virtual class. I'll recommend this course!!!‎ ‎ ‎

NDG

The course (Navigational Conversations) is very engaging and equips the participants with the proper skill set to install a constructive communication culture. Thanks, Stefano!‎ ‎ ‎

M.R., Pratt & Whitney

I have to confess, the idea of attending an all-day, in-person workshop on a Monday of all days, had me concerned about my workload management for the upcoming week. However, I'm so pleased that I took part! Stefano's approach in encouraging us to think about and explore aspects often neglected in our day-to-day routines was truly valuable. I'm confident I can improve some relationships with colleagues and even some external suppliers that I've been avoiding because I wasn't sure how to approach these uncomfortable situations. I enjoyed this program on collaboration using a coaching approach. Thanks.

Alstom leader embodying AIR

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have participated in the Alstom leadership program by Papillon MDC, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to Mirella and Stefano for this invaluable experience. Initially, I harbored some skepticism, particularly regarding topics concerning empathy in the workplace. However, as I opened my mind to the depth and creativity infused into the program, my doubts were dispelled. While the program primarily focused on work-related aspects, it gradually provided insights that not only enhanced my professional skills but also enriched my personal life. I found myself becoming a better individual, a more attentive parent, and ultimately, a more effective leader. I am deeply grateful for this transformative learning journey, which continues to impact me positively.

Finance Expert, CBC/Radio-Canada
The topics Stefano focused on fit together for leadership in times of significant change ahead!

Leader, Finance Dept., Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Stefano's workshop in Toronto made this a better-than-usual event so I was overall happy to have had the experience.

Daniela Beltran Jimanez, Co-President of The John Molson School of Business Women in Leadership (JMWL), Concordia University
Stefano, thank you once again for your invaluable contribution to yesterday's "Success Masterclass" event. Your role as a speaker and workshop facilitator was nothing short of extraordinary, and I am sincerely thankful for the immense value you brought to the entire experience. All the students greatly appreciated your exceptional speaking skills and the invaluable content shared during the workshop. Your insights have left a lasting impression and contributed significantly to their learning experience. Thank you for your outstanding contribution! Let's explore more opportunities in the future!

This training was very useful for me and it exceeded my expectations. I also enjoyed the learning experience and I will consider having people on my team take it. I'd love to keep practicing the conversation model with other people who were in the course. Please keep doing what you do, Stefano.

F.E-M., Power Management Specialist, Pratt & Whitney Canada
Stefano, I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the training program you conducted at Pratt. I was impressed by your expertise and engaging teaching style, therefore I could not even have a moment without the curiosity for what is next. Your passion, patience, and knowledge were contagious and I was inspired and actively engaged. Thank you once again for this wonderful training experience.

Manager, Operations at Pratt & Whitney
It's an excellent training that I would recommend to other managers! Loved it, Stefano! I will be recommending this program to others without a doubt.

Jeff F., nventive
This was a highly engaging learning opportunity for me, providing a chance to establish connections and engage with my new peers. The discussions on shared leadership challenges, emphasizing the concept of "oneness" as highlighted by Stefano, were particularly meaningful. This experience enabled us to put our learning into action through practical examples. I found the Papillon MDC case studies as pre-work valuable, and Stefano's creative teaching style was genuinely appreciated.

Associate Director, Supply Chain Operations, Pratt & Whitney Canada
Of the many trainings that I’ve experienced over the years, this was easily my favourite series. While it was done remotely, there was still a great sense of togetherness and attention given to all participants. It was evident that the training itself was catered to our realities and real-world examples were always front and center. Stefano was an incredibly approachable trainer and used the breakout rooms very effectively while leading great discussions during the group coaching. I would consider myself lucky to experience additional Papillon-led training sessions in the future.

SM Manager, P&WC
I really liked the content, strategies, and the facilitator-coach (Stefano).

Supervisor, Pratt & Whitney Canada
This training came at the perfect time because soon after, I stepped into my new role, and I continue to develop the leadership skills we learned (on a daily basis) and it’s going great. We are a team of 3 supervisors in my department and we all support each other to the point where we practice delivering messages and communicating effectively to our teams with each other first. Thanks, Stefano. I’ve already recommended Papillon MDC leadership programs to others.

Supply Management Specialist, PWC
My enthusiasm for this program was high from the start and I’m happy to say that I learned so much over several months. I really liked the content but enjoyed the group coaching even more because it gave me a chance to share challenges specifically with managing relationships with suppliers. I’m still learning and practicing. I still refer to the program manuals for review.

Executive, CBC/Radio-Canada, Finance Dept.
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for starting us off on the right foot this week! I believe you set the tone for what was an excellent mini-leadership summit for our finance department. Excellent content and a great learning experience with the exercises. This was very unique and I'd love to find ways to get my direct reports involved. Merci, Stefano.

Executive Director, CBC / Finance Department
It was wonderful meeting you and experiencing your energy and knowledge in Toronto earlier this week, Stefano. Our department leaders have not had an opportunity to reunite for several years and you were precisely what we needed to jolt us with your unique approach that got us all so engaged in the most creative of ways! Your work at Papillon MDC is both important and impactful. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with you (maybe in Montreal next time).

Supply Chain Specialist, Pratt & Whitney
I recommend this program as I enjoyed it very much. Some of Stefano's presentation slides have powerful visuals. This is very helpful for stimulating thought and remembering the learning moments. The digital manual is also very helpful for this reason. I've never truly enjoyed virtual learning, but this was next level. I originally felt too busy for a workshop at this time of the year, but I'm so glad that I did it in the end. Thank you.

Senior Project Manager, PWC
After this program, I was able to connect many different items that were not aligned with my thought process while giving feedback. Also, the appropriate method of receiving feedback was not something I've truly leveraged for my own growth. The 10% more and less approach is amazing and already started to apply it with my co-manager and boss. It is a lot less invasive and focused on small portions. Changing our approach when we give feedback to make sure we properly prepare before the feedback process even takes place is great. I realized that I need to put more focus on making my direct report(s) understand the intent of my sharing of feedback. I want to thank Stefano for his captivating way and for sharing his experiences as a leader and executive coach. I'd like more information about Navigational Conversations if possible.

Manager, Pratt & WC
I've experienced Stefano as a facilitator before and am glad I chose this program as he was the facilitator for this one too. Very interesting course, it helps to model the way we ask and give feedback.

Team Lead, Aerospace Industry
This is an excellent program that made me self-reflect as an individual on how to receive feedback and how to give it. It really makes a change in how you communicate and create an impact at work and in your life. Thanks, Stefano!

Manager, P&WC
I loved Stefano's dynamism along with his real-life stories and examples about both giving and receiving feedback. His experiences make everything so real and practical. I'm extremely satisfied with this program!

Samuel, P&WC
I highly recommend this training, I found the content that was shared was very helpful to put in practice. Stefano (the facilitator) was extremely engaging and very interesting. I really like that he was able to share past experiences (good or bad), which helped relate the theory to practice. A VERY good experience all in all!

PDM, Engineering, Alstom
I know I've just begun this leadership program, but after the 1st module on understanding with empathy, I'm already finding this experience so insightful. Your reputation precedes you, Stefano. What a great job so far! The learning is as interesting as it is fun right out of the gate, and I feel lucky to have been selected by Alstom to be a part of this. I can't wait for the rest to unfold.

Director, NTD Apparel
I've had the opportunity to see Stefano shine first as a leadership facilitator (mainly on strategic thinking for leaders) and then also as a coach. As a facilitator, his ability to teach and engage people is incredible. As a coach, he's an amazing listener who knows how to get you thinking differently so you'll get unstuck. Great learning either way. He helped me so much in so many ways. His work at Papillon MDC is a vocation and passion.

Manager at Alstom Transport, Brazil
I must say that this entire leadership program experience including the group coaching and 2-day event was very valuable for me and I continue to practice the elements learned and refer back to my notes and the content time and time again. There are many moments to reflect on my development that I didn't make time for when distracted by day-to-day tasks. I can only say that I am extremely grateful for Stefano and Mirella. Agradecido!

Manager at Alstom Transport
Before I experienced this Leadership program with Papillon MDC, I was very skeptical about learning about leadership. I didn't have high expectations. In all honesty, I felt that true leaders were natural-born leaders and I didn't feel that my skillset included the skills that "real" leaders are expected to demonstrate. To my surprise, I loved this learning experience and I can confidently say that today, I recognize that I AM a leader and I feel motivated to continue to learn, grow, and work on my leadership which was not something I ever made time for before. I also didn't understand or take action on my leadership challenges before. This program opened my eyes. Thank you so much Stefano and Mirella! You both are true professionals with incredible energy and an ability to share knowledge and your expertise in the most insightful and entertaining of ways both virtually and in person. I would love to experience more learning with Papillon MDC because as Stefano said many times, leadership is about staying curious and lifelong learning and not merely a means to an end.

Irazema Silva Ramirez, Americas Change Management & Transformation Leader, Transportation Sector
Stefano & Mirella, I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for this incredible adventure. Throughout my career, I've participated in multiple leadership training programs. However, I must sincerely share that, for me, this experience stands out as the best. What makes it truly special is the integration of coaching principles into practical application. Both of you not only encouraged us to reflect but also to take meaningful actions based on those reflections. I've seized this opportunity to enhance my knowledge, and I am committed to becoming a better leader than I was before. The insights gained from this training will undoubtedly continue to guide me as I navigate the path of leadership, fostering a spirit of continuous learning, and I believe this will be useful for me in future roles. P.S. Stefano, I liked the use of your drawings/images in your presentations.

Graciela Trillanes, Chief Comercial Officer, Chicago Heights
I had the opportunity to experience a Papillon MDC leadership program for 7 months with Stefano as the lead facilitator/coach. It was an honor to participate in the program. He was focused on your growth as a person, and as a leader, and ultimately, on how this can impact better team engagement and results. He helped me have hard conversations with myself as well as difficult conversations with the members of my team. During our sessions, we put a plan together for improving as leaders, and then as time progressed, we reviewed what was working and wasn't working as well, along with the adjustments that we needed to implement to improve. Also during the workshops, he presented case studies and even a few parables. The one story that stuck with me, was the indigenous story of the 2 wolves; I continually think of this one as a reminder on both a professional level as well in my personal life. His group coaching sessions helped me to take the hard decisions, and today, I continue to use the learning and insights. I am sure that I will continue growing as a leader and thank you Stefano & the Papillon team for all your time and support. If you have the opportunity to work with Stefano as your development facilitator or coach, do not hesitate, he is great! A sincere thank you to Mirella as well, Stefano and Mirella made such a great team in Melbourne!

Sebastien Guy, Requirements Analyst
Completed Navigational Conversations training with the amazing Stefano Di Lollo. Learning new skills and putting names on things we already instinctively do (to some extent) helps us reinforce and perfect our skills all while making us better employees, better colleagues, & better leaders. Keep growing.

Engineering Specialist
Thank you very much to Stefano Di Lollo & Papillon, this training was very useful and provided a lot to think about. Stefano was great at understanding participants' questions + concerns and outstandingly provided well-informed responses and helpful recommendations.

Manager, MTL
Every new manager should definitely take this course! That having been said, even though the program description indicates that the course is designed for managers, I believe that this course is valuable to ALL employees at all levels. It is extremely important to learn how to receive and provide feedback. Thank you so much!

Manager & Leader, Engineering
Thank you! This is a very interesting and useful training. I REALLY enjoyed and appreciated Stefano's approach and dynamism. The exchanges among participants were also very useful.

Manager, Aerospace Industry
Great learning with many real-world examples. I certainly learned many new things and it was a real eye-opener with respect to "blind spots." Thank you, Stefano!

Executive, CBC/Radio-Canada
This testimony is a little tardy, but better late than never. I've had at least a couple of opportunities to participate in Papillon MDC's workshops led by Stefano Di Lollo. His energy, enthusiasm, thought-provoking content, and creativity, make any corporate event or 'leadership summit' a valuable learning experience.

Executive, Aerospace Sector
Thank you Stefano for all your guidance over the past several months, especially during those challenging moments. I remain grateful and truly appreciate how you allowed me to become more reflective and self-aware. I credit our work together as the spark that I needed for my professional growth while simultaneously strengthening my relationships with colleagues, peers, and direct reports. I also appreciate your creative flair. I’ve recently been able to advance my career to a new level, and I truly believe our work together made this milestone become a reality. I continue to think back to our work to this day and it continues to help me move forward.

Lina Borrelli
I had the pleasure of attending a virtual session on Asking Questions and Coaching hosted by Stefano Di Lollo. It was awesome. Enlightening and great tips and tools provided. Definitely something I can apply in my day-to-day! Stefano is a dynamic speaker and really kept our attention. Highly recommend: great topic, great speaker and affordable. [Google Maps Review]

Jennifer Neveu, Director of Marketing & Product Development, Masdel Inc.
I really love the Papillon MDC approach to leadership development. Their programs are well planned, easy to understand, unintimidating, and offer a wealth of knowledge to help sharpen and hone new skills. As a young leader, my goal is to continuously improve my leadership skills and notions to be the best I can be for both myself and my team. I had the opportunity to take the 'Leading Teams: QUESTIONING LIKE A COACH' live training webinar with Stefano Di Lollo. Aside from Stefano's excellent presentation and pedagogy skills, he found a way of having us all participate and feel comfortable in doing so. Most importantly, I left that session feeling more empowered and ready to be a better leader with more tools in my toolbox. I highly recommend these workshops. They can be easily booked into your busy calendar ahead of time and I guarantee you will walk away having learned a thing or two. [Google Maps Review]

Jennifer Neveu, Director Of Marketing & Product Development, Masdel Inc.
Great content on today’s "Questioning Like a Coach" mini-course webinar led by Stefano Di Lollo of Papillon MDC! Check out their services & programs on the Papillon MDC website. Highly recommended! #leaderscreateleaders

Sébastien Cardinal, Director of Operations, Transervice
Thank you, Stefano! Navigational Conversations is a necessary training in 2022 for all leaders and also within all spheres of society.

C.J., Director, H-Qc
Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of being coached by Stefano Di Lollo in my development as the leader of a large-scale technology project. Through our conversations, reflections, and discussions, I have learned to know myself better and to target actions that make a difference. Among other things, we particularly worked on collaboration in difficult situations while exploring ways to support other leaders within my organization to help them perform. Through his very human approach, his illustrations, and his experience, Stefano demonstrated his coaching knowledge with me and allowed me to see how to put the strategies I explored into practice. Thank you for this precious time spent together that made me grow as a leader!

Global Leader & General Manager, Aerospace Industry
Dear Stefano, I'm sending you this feedback as a testimony and token of appreciation. This was a truly unique experience for me. I will continue working on the Navigational Model. Much gratitude.

Leader, Aerospace Industry
One of the BEST training programs I've experienced over the past 5 years. I wish I had this training in one of my MBA classes years ago or early in my career. Thank you, Stefano!

Aerospace industry professional
Very brief but interactive sessions with many practical tips were quite useful and insightful. A sincere thank you to Coach Stefano for this learning experience! I'll be practicing. ;)

Sophie Jacques, Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.
Very interesting training! Thank you, Stefano! I will certainly use the different approaches I have learned in the last few days. The NavCon program's structure divided into 8 virtual blocks of time was also convenient for me.

Senior Management, PWC
Fantastic course! Now I'm curious to see more from Papillon MDC. I'd now love to try advanced programs following this Nav-C one.

Evgenii / PWC Senior Manager
Stefano, this was a fantastic course, I enjoyed Navigational Conversations a lot! It opened my eyes to some aspects of better management practices, even if the course is not only about management.

S.H., Pratt & Whitney Canada
I’ve experienced numerous workshops in the last 15 years. Workshops led by Stefano are an entirely different animal than anything I’ve experienced. I truly enjoyed Impactful Conversations and next I’d like to take Navigational Conversations. I found the portion on blind spots and how the mind works quite interesting. Great learning.

Director, Transervice Integrated Solutions Canada Inc.
Stefano keeps everyone engaged & the training never felt dull. There are many parts of the training that will be extremely beneficial to me. Certain components can be used in any conversation right away while others will take a little more time to integrate. Great learning!

Aerospace Specialist, Pratt
Stefano's artistic style is as present in his content presentation (his drawings wow) as it is in how he speaks during the workshop. His demonstration of giving feedback in the role-playing exercise was very impressive because he simply used the tools he showed us. This was very "impactful" for me and I'm glad I made time for learning because I'm usually too busy. This will be useful.

Manager, P&WC
Thanks, Stefano! I really like the way the Impactful Conversations training was built & presented. Having several sessions instead of 2 full-day sessions worked very well (I was able to be more concentrated, I had the opportunity to think about what we learned, & see where/how it can apply in our work environment, & then discuss REAL situations). Very satisfied with this course (both with the content & the presenter).

DR, Director of IT
The coaching with Valerie Legge was an enlightening experience. I quickly started looking forward to our scheduled meetings and the value they would bring. Valerie is a wonderful coach and I especially liked that everything she speaks about is presented in a way that related to me personally. Valerie gave me the tools to look at and approach situations in different ways and choose the option best suited it. Valerie builds on existing strengths resulting in positive and enjoyable coaching sessions that I always left encouraged to implement what I had learned. Valery has initiated a personal growth from which I personally, my company and my team have benefited greatly.

N.F., Executive Leader
Mirella has perfected the art of executive coaching by combining her deep knowledge of mental schema, her understanding of business operations and structures, and her ability to quickly grasp her coachees’ abilities, capabilities and environment. Throughout my coaching journey with her, she challenged me tremendously and encouraged me to experiment new ways in showing up and in deploying my leadership fully and authentically. This was always done with respect, kindness, and support.

T.S., VP, Customer Programs, Aerospace
My team engaged Mirella through Zoom Webinar during lockdown. Mirella’s engagement with the team was critical to the success of our overall event and in this challenging context. She engaged us with insights, spurring both introspection and conversation amongst my leaders. In our case the theme which ran across was an installing growth mindset within ourselves, our peers, and teams. It was exactly the time of “nutrients” we needed in the moment and driving our path forward. Top scores from my team and lives on!

Michel Labbé | Transmission Design | Pratt & Whitney Canada
It was a pleasure to attend and participate in your class, Navigational Conversations. Stefano, I would have liked to have seen you facilitate a little closer (in-person for example). The communication, exchanges, and interactions were excellent in the group (during the online version of this program). Stefano, I liked your authenticity and spontaneity. The techniques taught (conversational coaching, open-ended questioning, and feedback techniques) were presented in a simple and easy-to-apply way. These techniques can be useful to all of us in our personal/family life and at work (with teammates or direct reports). Feedback given in the right way can make all the difference between helping a person become aware of their potential for improvement and encouraging them to move forward vs. creating a lot of frustration, negative thoughts, lost sleep, and anger that may linger. Thanks again Stefano, and see you next time!

Alexandre Renaud, Jr.Eng / CPI / Customer Engineer, PT6E-Series Proactive Services | Pratt & Whitney Canada
"Merci encore pour ton temps, Stefano! J’ai vraiment apprécié le cours Navigational Conversations ainsi que la façon qu’il est présenté. Cela permet de nous garder concentré, de faire parler le contenu et donc le matériel est assimilé beaucoup plus facilement. C’est définitivement un des meilleurs cours que j’ai suivi chez Pratt jusqu’à maintenant.”

The Adecco Group
"The interactive webinar was great and the entire team loved the thought-provoking content.
Stefano presents complex information with crystal clarity in such a unique way!”

Head of People and Culture, Retail Industry
We have had the absolute pleasure of having Mirella De Civita as a Keynote Speaker at our Leadership Forum in December 2020. Mirella is very engaging in her approach and truly inspiring with her words. Her passion for her work and her compassion for people is evidenced in all that she does. She is an “out of the box thinker” and encourages everyone to follow her along her journey and to step out of their comfort zone and gain a different perspective. All who participated in the Leadership Forum were truly impressed by Mirella and all that she had to share with us… it is always so amazing to learn and grow with Mirella!

Human Resources Manager, Finance & Tech
Dr. Mirella was professional and a true expert in the field. In this new virtual environment, we wanted to provide a space to support our employees and the wellness webinars did just that. The team was easy to work with and adapted to all our needs.

Première directrice, Développement organisationnel mondial, Finance
Dans le contexte de la pandémie où l’incertitude et l’ambiguïté ont été exacerbés, nous souhaitions offrir à nos gestionnaires des outils pour reconnaître et gérer les signes de stress, ainsi qu’à nos employés des moyens pour développer leur résilience. Dr. Mirella De Civita nous a guidés dans l’élaboration et la diffusion d’ateliers qui ont reçu un bel accueil et démontré que l’organisation se souciait du bien-être de son actif le plus précieux.

Engineering Executive, Aerospace
I was overwhelmed, year-end rush, yes 2020 THE year, and then was asked to add another item to the list… to lead a discussion panel on Leadership during the pandemic with the executive team… I said yes. I said yes because I was doing this with someone who knew what she was talking about, someone who had wisdom, profound knowledge and broad data to talk about this intelligently in an inspiring way. I knew that with her we would deliver something that could make a difference to someone. Through her feedback, supportive effort and effective brainstorming we had a game plan and we delivered! Could not have asked for a better partner on this! Mirella, thank you for being there. You made a difference.

Executive Director, Talent Management, People & Culture
We have been working with Papillon MDC for many years on a number of different initiatives. Dr. Mirella Di Civita is an exceptional psychologist, and executive coach who works with C-suite and other senior executive teams transform and work at an optimal level. One of our recent projects was at the onset of the pandemic, as everyone felt the constraints of suddenly being thrust into a remote work context. During a period when many felt destabilized and perhaps discouraged, leaders had a double-duty of managing and motivating teams. We asked Dr. Di Civita for help and she quickly developed a customized webinar series, in both French and English, to help managers lead effectively from a distance. Each session addressed a specific topic followed by a group discussion. Word spread quickly and participation grew as the series evolved. We are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr. Di Civita and for her professionalism, pragmatism and tremendous business acumen.

Maria Valerio, Former Vice President Quality and EH&S (retired) - Pratt & Whitney Canada
Mirella is a source of strength and knowledge for personal and career transformational changes. Over the years, she has partnered with me and my team for leadership development, which allowed us to build a high performing culture that has powered business optimization and growth. From a business perspective, her extensive knowledge, expertise and experience with executives and their teams led to changes in mindset, how people show up for conversations, and improved individual and team performances. She is an amazing business partner! She is surrounded by an amazing team of professionals that provide executive coaching and master a complete suite of development tools to address any business/ personal challenge.

PB, VP Canada - Transervice
Live Learning mini-courses with Stefano Di Lollo & the Papillon MDC Team are one of the best formats we have found. Great content, well-packaged, and professionally presented. Pandemic challenges limiting in-person learning and busy agendas make Papillon MDC’s videoconferencing formula a true winner. Important topics broken down into small sessions over different days keep you focused and enables you to accomplish other duties on the same day.

Senior Executive
The Alignment Project is a wonderful process with wonderful facilitation. Really assisted in setting the course with responsibilities and roles for our team.

Director/Leader
The program (The Alignment Project) 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!

Excellent Program! Best one I took at my workplace. Mirella was so generous in sharing her expertise and experience and so knowledgeable. I liked the balance between theory, practice exercises, and explanations from the facilitator.

Great course! It helps develop my default mode network.

The process we learned about gave me a structured approach to the two, allowing me to be more confident and comfortable. It helped put into “real terms” a lot of feelings and ideas I had and make it more concrete for me. Mirella was a fantastic instructor and I would happily take another course in this area! She was extremely knowledgeable and obviously quite experienced! She created an open and friendly atmosphere and made the material interesting and encouraged constant discussion.

Very interesting program. Definitely opened my eyes on coaching mindset and realized I have been doing mentoring/teaching. Content is just right, not overwhelming. Mirella is very enthusiastic in her presentation of the course. Very insightful. Had an overall good experience working and practicing during the program. Very well paced. Will take time for me to get into practice the method, but I feel I have all the tools I need.

Excellent training! Good methodology! Thanks for this new tool!

This was a very valuable experience for me and I feel that I will be using it on a daily basis in my current job and personal life. It has opened my eyes on how to be a better leader and colleague in my workforce and as a parent, to be a better guide for my children.

Absolutely love the class and see high value in my day-to-day work. Now I am just eager to learn more and practice as much as possible.

Excellent Program! The quick reminder printouts are very handy. The material is well-explained and practiced. Extremely interesting link between problem solving mindset and coaching approach. Very helpful material to boost your team growth.

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 exercises were great practice to understand the technique and see where your weaknesses /bad habits reside. The pacing and flow are quite dynamic, found that the videos also helped me put the method into context. As for my personal experience, I was def challenged, and was able to be coached in the diff exercise which was a bit overwhelming, but allowed me to discover part of what has been holding me back. I feel lucky to have been given the gift of this course from my employer and look forward to continuing my coaching growth.

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.

Senior Leader
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. The wordsmithing of the leadership team charter was very well done.

Donne de bons outils avec des exemples concrets et pertinents. Mirella est une excellente formatrice. Elle donne des enseignements très claires, avec une bonne fluidité et une bonne interaction avec les participants.

Excellent programme! J’ai beaucoup apprécié les simulations et les exercices. Mirella nous a présenté plusieurs mises en situation. Un bon outil de travail, réaliste à appliquer dans un milieu de travail. Permet de réfléchir au type de gestionnaire que tu es. J’ai beaucoup aimé ma formation.

Excellent programme. Méthode favorisant l’ouverture et la responsabilisation des employés. Mirella est une excellente formatrice. Elle est très connaissante du sujet.

J’ai bien apprécié le programme. Il est agréable de comprendre les fondements et fonctionnements du cerveau. Mirella connaît très bien sa matière. Très bon rythme, la théorie et la pratique sont bien équilibrées. Excellent connaissance, très bien verbalisée!

Excellent plongeon dans l’univers du coaching. Approche simple, facile à retenir et à utiliser. Bravo! Enfin des fondements établis avant de livrer la technique. J’en aurais pris davantage. Mirella est très accueillante et une excellente formatrice!

Excellent programme! Beaucoup d’interactions. Mirella est dynamique et expressive. Ce programme permet de changer la manière de voir les choses et te sort de ta zone de confiance de façon positive.

The Alignment Project is an excellent program. It is good to understand other peoples' communication styles. The approach is informative and good to get an unbiaised point of view with a process for moving forward. I appreciated the step-by-step process of understanding the executive role and how my style plays into either progressing or hindering goals.

Excellent program! Great interactions, and guided learnings by Mirella.

The course is really practical, and I feel we can apply it immediately.

The program made me realize that I can control the volume of conversations. I will certainly use the E-A-S-T model in both my personal and professional life. This training should be mandatory for all managers!

The content is rich, backed up by scientific research. The flow is great and the opportunity to practice is where it sticks. Mirella is a true expert and a consummate professional. She makes everyone very comfortable to learn and make mistakes and is quick on her feet when people have challenging situations or examples to share.

I liked the balance between theory and workshop. Some courses put too much emphasis on workshops and case studies and forget the theory associated with the topic we are studying. This course had the right balance.

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. Navigational Conversations is an outstanding course as it focuses on having a coaching conversation – something I have never heard until now (after 20 years).

This course provides a management toolbox that everyone should have at their disposal. Mirella was an absolute please to have as a facilitator; her depth of knowledge and positive outlook resulted in an engaging experience. Great balance of theory and practice. Role playing was impactful and well executed.

Great program! Every manager or manager to be should attend this training! Mirella is an amazing person, great facilitator; engaging and encouraging all participation. There is a great balance between theory and practice. Great handouts; great link with real life situations.

Program was very well delivered with a dynamic approach. Very inspiring!

I truly enjoyed the specific examples for this program! It is obvious that Mirella has massive experience! Excellent program. The length of the course and pace was perfect. Much appreciated role playing.

The program is excellent! Very well laid out and the steps takes us logically through the content. The live experience brings great value to the content!

Excellent Program! This workshop has very much transformed my approach in any relationships. Mirella was excellent! Overall, the program is excellent and well given. Everyone willing to occupy a manager role should take this class.

I.A., Aerospace Industry
Excellent Program! This workshop has very much transformed my approach in any relationships. Mirella was excellent! Overall, the program is excellent and well given. Everyone willing to occupy a manager role should take this class.

Je suis encore impressionnée par la capacité de Mirella à saisir les défis auxquels je faisais face et me faire cheminer rapidement et efficacement. Son professionnalisme et sa grande expertise sont des alliés incroyables. En plus d’offrir des solutions pertinentes elle sait toucher les gens et les faire grandir. Je la recommande chaleureusement, particulièrement si vous souhaitez faire un virage audacieux dans votre vie professionnelle. Elle m’a aidée à écrire mon prochain chapitre professionnel, qui s’avère être le meilleur !

R.D., PPCC Program, Concordia University
A compassionate approach, a genuine interest in her mentees and an expert in her field are the first words that come to mind in describing Mirella. Choosing Mirella as a mentor made all the difference for me. I first began my search for a mentor by looking for specific credentials, all of which Mirella possesses. Then, as time progressed, Mirella offered much more than I had anticipated. In the many months we worked together, not only did I rely on her extensive knowledge to learn new theory, practices and skills, but she went above and beyond in the way she provided mentorship; she encouraged me to explore, try out new ways, and to marry learning to my individual style. Her approach increased confidence in my ability especially when the topics were more challenging because she helped me get past doubt and work through solutions instead. This all made the learning experience more pleasurable and successful in the end. In summary, not only did I accomplish my academic goals but I grew as well, and this learning will stay with me forever. Thank you Mirella, your mentorship was very valuable.

A.M.A., Business Development Manager, Pratt & Whitney Canada
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 the next level. She has a very unique way of providing feedback and creating an atmosphere of trust and connection. I greatly benefited from her examples and observations that helped me with my coaching practice. Looking forward to working with her again. “Always surround yourself with people who challenge you and push you to be your best self”

Global Leader, Aerospace Industry
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 topics of leadership, coaching, and performance management. She has the ability to engage and energize her audience at all levels of the organization and knows how to convey the difficult messages in a firm yet respectful manner. I have also partnered with Mirella to provide Navigational Coaching training In Poland and China. Again Mirella adapted quickly to her audience and the participants truly appreciated the training and remained connected with her to pursue their learning journey.

R.N., Manager, Senior Legal Counsel, Aerospace
Practical and simple tools that are easy to remember, coupled with useful handouts. It makes the retention of the knowledge that much easier. This program would also be useful/beneficial to non-manager employees. Mirella delivers the material in an efficient and well-structured manner. She always demonstrates deep knowledge of the subject matter; she is an excellent facilitator.

A.H., Program Manager, Aerospace
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.

V.C., PPCC & ICF Certified Life Coach & Yoga Mentor
Mirella is an amazing human being and I could not have dreamt of a better mentor coach. While mentoring me as an aspiring coach, she took into account that I was also going through a transition period in my life and that there were sometimes other things coming in between the coaching. Bringing me back to the essence of what it is to be a coach, trusting me and establishing a strong relationship are all elements that allowed me to grow as a coach but also as a person. I would not have been where I am now, would it not have been for her constant constructive feedback, her encouragements and powerful questions at the right times. Thank you!

G.N., ICF Certified Coach
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. Her professionalism, her business insight, her easiness to connect with people is what makes dealing with her such a success. As a mentor, she has always been there for me when I was doubting myself as a coach as well as when I was celebrating my successes. She is a great observer, an amazing listener, she asks powerful thought-provoking questions and helps her mentees grow tremendously and find their own style all in accordance with the ICF competencies requirements. I highly recommend Mirella and her mentoring program!

E.B., Aerospace, PPCC & ICF Certified Coach
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. Mirella is very inspirational, she took my success to heart and I felt I deserved her letter of recommendation at the end of the Program, I felt ready. I would strongly recommend Mirella as a mentor coach to anyone who is working towards the journey of professional coaching. She made all the difference in my journey to coaching!

L.B., Management Practice, ICF Certified Coach
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. Her approach to coaching is both focused and intuitive, listening beyond the words and asking thought provoking questions. Her mentoring style is in the same vane: deep listening, an emphasis on the ICF Core Competencies and how they relate to various coaching scenarios, and above all, a dedication to letting the mentee find his/her coaching voice within these competencies. The mentee is encouraged to experiment with and trust, his/her coaching instincts. I highly recommend Mirella both as a coach and as a coaching Mentor.

K.M., Consulting, ICF Certified Coach
Mirella provided an exceptional mentor coaching experience. With her support and guidance I was able to see the specific areas where I could develop as a coach but also see what initiated the challenges I was experiencing in those areas. Mirella applied the 11 competencies within our coaching sessions, which allowed me to experience the flow from the receiving end and also be an observer to the process as well. I highly recommend Papillon MDC Inc's mentoring program if you are interested in improving your coaching skills.

J.B., Personal Life Coach, PPCC – Concordia University
I had the great pleasure of working with Dr. De Civita as my mentor coach while I was completing the Professional and Personal Coach Certification program at Concordia University. The ICF’s 11 core competencies were at the heart of our many discussions, which in turn allowed me to not only better understand these competencies but to integrate them in my coaching with clients and in my everyday life. I greatly appreciated Dr. De Civita’s support during and in-between our mentoring sessions as well as her expert knowledge of all things coaching, her genuine kindness, her constructive feedback and her unconditional positive presence. All my expectations were met and exceeded by the quality of this mentoring program!

H.P. Certified Coach
Mirella never ceased to amaze me. I have witnessed her effective coaching before which gave me full confidence in choosing her as my mentor coach. Her ability to detect true meaning and emotions beyond surface, her articulate effective questioning skills and her strong intuition coupled with extensive experience are the key success factors to a superb coach. She has also been tremendously encouraging in her approach which enabled me to unleash the potentials beyond my own belief.

David L Adams, Independent director, Audit Committee and HRCC Chair, previously CFO Aimia Inc
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 the strength of character to speak truth to power and to challenge strongly held or entrenched views. Mirella was instrumental in helping us identify the right executive talent during the hiring process and identify the opportunities for coaching and support that maximized the possibility of the successful integration of new management talent into our organization. She was an invaluable resource for me personally, helping to provide valuable insights into human behavior and organizational dynamics. I know that I would not have been as successful as I have been without her encouragement and advice. I would recommend Mirella and Papillon without reservation to anyone looking for someone to help them build a successful, thriving organization by developing their most important resource, their people.

P.M., Financial services
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. During our sessions, Mirella demonstrated unique skills in how she listened carefully to my words and emotions and give me feedback that celebrated what I did well in my coaching sessions with clients yet pushed me constantly to reflect about one topic, to develop a particular skill, always in the service of the client. Her approach is far from mechanical. It leaves room for you to develop your own coaching style.

G.B., Transitions Governance, Aerospace Industry

J.B., Webmaster Human Resources department, Aerospace Industry
A perfect course! I started the course at a beginner level. After the course, I feel more confident in my coaching abilities. I learned great techniques and concepts.

V.A., Conseillère en Ressources humaines, Aviation
Wow! Ce fut une excellente formation. Tout le matériel, les exercices et une animatrice excellente!!

S.C., VP Rewards, Loyalty

Great progression of events. I would like to have more role playing, and although it is difficult to do, I think to be very productive this could have easily have been a one week session to get the most out of it.

Exemples très concrets et spécifiques. L’animatrice a su s’adapter à notre type de travail et nous a aussi aidé à nous connaître.

D.P., Sourcing Director, Aerospace Industry
It truly opened my mind on how little I listened and let people make their own decisions. Exercises were great. It showed how much you could get you to listen and ask questions. Mirella was amazing. Throughout all of this, she coached me by giving me the necessary tools.

The program was excellent. Mirella was energetic, honest and I completely enjoyed the 2 days. The most important part of the session from my perspective was that it facilitated the participant’s ability to gain insight into the situation they deal with on a daily basis. I think it will allow the managers to step back and share the load with their team. The team and the manager will benefit greatly.

Participant, HR Business Partner, Aerospace Industry, Poland

Participant, Aerospace Industry
I have been confusing mentoring and coaching all my life; just for that, it was worth it! Mirella had a great sense of humor, and adapted her material to our group. Very engaging! I had not heard feedback from anyone who had taken the course before and, therefore, did not have set expectations. It was two days well spent; I will practice the technique and share it with my colleagues.

L.N., Vice President, USA
This was an incredible and invaluable experience. I feel as though I am leaving with the tools and guidance to be a more effective leader, and look forward to some coaching conversations.

You are the one who guided me to the right person who you felt would be able to help me. I have grown and I will continue to grow. You are so passionate with aiding those who choose to grow or may be on the path to a new beginning.

B.M., Formerly Vice-President Consulting Financial Institution
I have had the opportunity to work with Mirella on a coaching assignment; initially, I had placed faith in her ability to help me but sincerely at the beginning of the assignment, I couldn't see how she could help me through. She did. More than I would have hoped for. The self-awareness I have gained from working with Mirella has helped me tremendously in my professional life but also shaped parts of my personal life as well. Thank you!

L.D., Senior Vice President, Human Resources Limited Brands Canada
My professional experiences with Mirella De Civita have been nothing less than outstanding.

S.S., Chief Investment Officer Investment Financial Institution
Mirella allows one to visualize characteristics about oneself that for some reason are blinded from ones sight.

Lorrie Quigg, Business Development Associate, Soutar Career Centre (Former Relationship Manager – Career Services, McGill University)
Professionally and personally, Mirella’s commitment and authenticity is a breath of fresh air. The high standard of ethics to which she holds herself accountable create a foundation on which powerful workshops and material can be developed to support learning and excellence for all.

David Guérette, Groupe Perceptia Inc.
J’ai eu le privilège de transiger avec Madame De Civita sur différents types de mandats et chaque occasion m’a permis d’apprécier ses compétences professionnelles et personnelles. Mirella possède un réel talent à intéragir avec les gens, ce qui rend les échanges à la fois faciles et productifs. Sa capacité à cerner les besoins de ses clients, sa profondeur d’analyse, ses aptitudes à synthétiser l’information et son habileté à communiquer tous les types de messages font de Mirella, à mon avis, un partenaire d’affaires précieux.

A.D., Director, Production and Development Analytics Health Care Marketing company
It is a pleasure to work with Mirella. She is an excellent coach who helps you reach your full potential.

She provides you with the necessary tools in helping you become better rounded and as a result more effective.

Sandra Coffey, Founder of StratPerspective, Business Strategy Consultants
In the course of fulfilling a mandate for Mirella, we had a chance to work closely together. Mirella is extremely astute in sizing up people, allowing her to understand the essence of the issue quickly and guiding her clients towards the best course of action. I say 'guide' her clients because she leads you towards your own decision by providing a very effective sounding board. Mirella's strong personal values and business ethics complement her high professional standards. I recommend Mirella without any reservation.

Kaberi Dasgupta, MD, MSc, FRCP(C) Associate Professor of Medicine, McGill University
Dr. Mirella De Civita’s deep knowledge of knowledge translation and qualitative research methods were critical in the publication of our work: The first was an application of diffusion of innovations theory to diabetes translation research, highlighting the key elements to achieve sustainable implementation of evidence- based diabetes management programs (DeCivita and Dasgupta, Journal of Public Health). The second was a qualitative examination of physical activity- related barriers and facilitators experienced by adults with type 2 diabetes who had participated in a supervised exercise program (Casey, DeCivita, and Dasgupta, Diabetic Medicine). Her collaborative spirit and astute knowledge were critical to our research.

Lucie Bourgeois, President of Umalia (Former Group Director, Human Resources, IMS Health)
A while ago, I worked with Mirella as part of a top-tier leadership development initiative. As the HR executive for the project internally, I found Mirella to be the consummate professional – client-focused, business oriented and quickly grasping and understanding the individuals in the executive team as well as the team dynamic. Feedback from the executive team was very positive and pointed to her ability to give them feedback while being able to challenge them and bring them out of their comfort zone for further potential development. Mirella was also recognized for her excellent ability to facilitate the executive team and provide insights directed at improving team effectiveness.

M.D., Executive Vice-president and Chief Financial Officer Commercial Real Estate Lender
My coaching experience with Mirella De Civita was a very worthwhile endeavor that added value. She uses her experience, approach and coaching style to create an adaptive and enjoyable learning process. I still use the skills I acquired during our sessions on a daily basis. I look forward to working with her again.

J.M., First Vice-President Investment Financial Institution
Mirella has a smooth and effective way to help an Alpha personality put his ego into his pocket and see the benefit of modifying one’s own behavior. She can help even the most intense individuals develop improved interpersonal skills! The objectives of the coaching sessions were clearly stated and the pathway well defined. The learnings were great and will be of use for many years.

H.K., Vice-President Investment Financial Institution
Mirella was insightful and professional. Although at first I was somewhat skeptical about what I would get out of a coaching experience, working with Mirella turned out to be an invaluable experience.

Dave Battiston, Managing Director International Loyalty Programmes, Direct Marketing Solutions, Dubaï AIMIA Inc.
Mirella is great at what she does, insightful and very helpful in helping candidates pursue greater success through better understanding of themselves.

M.F., Former General Manager, Digital Experience Loyalty Company
Working with Mirella proved to be an invaluable, transformational experience. Her ability to fully understand people’s motivations and behaviours, and how they interact within complex inner-company dynamics, made every conversation with her enlightening. She guides significant self-reflection and provides useful tools while ensuring that the coaching experience translates into tangible results. Mirella’s friendly approach and her great sense of humour made each coaching session a meeting I looked forward to.

Anne E. Primeau, Director of Human Resources (retired)
In my former role as Director of Human Resources, I valued Mirella's contributions as a business psychologist and executive coach in developing our key talent. I received very positive feedback from the individual executives she worked with and also from their individual managers following their 3-way coaching sessions. Mirella exemplified the role of an executive coach, one who maintains a high level of confidentiality with her clients, whose coaching style is open and non-confrontational, and is able to continually engage her clients throughout the coaching process. I have also been able to get to know Mirella as a person; one who enjoys life, who is mindful of living her life well and in harmony, and continually looks for ways to improve herself.

M.N. Ancien Directeur Général, Non-profit organization
Mon expérience de Coaching avec Mirella fût des plus enrichissantes. C’était ma première expérience de travail avec un Conseil D’administration et les échanges avec Mirella m’ont permis de transformer de 100% mes relations avec mon CA. De plus, elle m’a aussi permis de renforcer mon leadership et d’améliorer la rapidité de mes décisions dans la gestion des opérations. Mirella est une personne de coeur, enjouée et très génereuse de son temps. Je vous la recommande fortement et encore aujourd’hui, je peux bébéficier de ses précieux conseils.

Dr. Patricia Dobkin, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
I have known Dr. Mirella De Civita for over 15 years. She completed a 3 year post-doctoral fellowship at McGill University back in 2005 under my mentorship. She was awarded a CIHR fellowship to study children suffering from arthritis with a multidisciplinary team. Dr. De Civita was creative, diligent, and effective. We published many journal articles together in the area of pediatric medicine, quality of life in chronic disease populations, and health outcomes in adults living with a chronic health condition. Integrity could be Dr. De Civita’s middle name, while Creative and Productive could be her first and last names, respectively. You will get more than you expect from her. She is a joy to work with and will remain my colleague and friend for many years to come.

Bruce Good, Executive Director, Center for Business Innovation - The Conference Board of Canada (Former General Manager of IMS Health)
Mirella is truly outstanding at what she does, she has a way of instilling confidence while providing an honest and professional guidance at a time when it is needed most !!

M.L., Directeur principal, Ressources humaines, Aviation & Aérospatial
Dès ma première rencontre avec Mirella, j'ai su qu'elle pourrait m'aider dans ma démarche de coaching. Elle a le don de rendre les gens à l'aise et parvient de façon subtile à déceler leurs lacunes et les aider à les corriger. Son expérience et sa grande connaissance du marché du travail lui permettent de s'adapter à toutes situations et de se mettre dans la peau des gens afin de les aider à trouver leurs propres solutions. Merci Mirella, tu m'as beaucoup aidé à devenir un meilleur leader.

Sasha Bernatsky, MD PhD Associate Professor, Division of Clinical Epidemiology
Mirella was a collaborator on several projects, including work funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Initiative for Improved Outcomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis. She helped formulate the methods for surveys and focus group discussions, as well as expertly moderating both focus groups and a very important Café Scientifique funded by the CIHR. In my grant applications, she has provided important input to ensure sound design in qualitative research methods, and creativity in knowledge transfer. Mirella was a critical player in the success of our implementation of some initiatives to improve service delivery in rheumatology at the McGill University Health Centre. Moreover, she is an excellent writer, both as primary author and co-author of scientific abstracts and publications.

E.H.O., Chief Financial Officer at Nanyang Technological University (Former VP, Finance, Singapore Loyalty Company)
I have met Mirella twice, both through Skype meeting, as part of an assessment process. While apprehensive at first, within minutes after our first meeting, Mirella immediately put me at ease, instilled trust and respect, and I found myself fully engaged throughout the interview process. I find Mirella very professional, and a true expert. Her delivery is always clear, flawless and impactful. I was particularly impressed with her coaching skills at the second session, where she did a full and accurate debrief of my strengths and weaknesses. Mirella offered great insights, learning and valuable practical advice, which I will always value as part of my continuous learning and development. Thank you, Mirella.

Alistair Price, Former Director of Human Resources Innotech-Execaire Aviation Group
Mirella is a consummate professional. She provided accurate, insightful and meaningful reports and debriefs to me about our senior management team. Perhaps the greatest testament to her abilities is when I was searching to find coaching for Execaire, the senior management team strongly recommended that we hire Mirella.

Executive, AIMIA Inc.
Mirella is able to sift through a rich amount of psychometric data and interview material to quickly provide insights that allow new employees become effective (and happy) in their new work environments. She performs this feat with a light touch and in a caring way. A rare gem of a person. Thank you Mirella.

Marie-José Beaudin, Directrice Exécutive, Faculté Desautels, Université McGill
Mirella a travaillé avec nous pour l’élaboration et l’implantation stratégique d’un module de préparation et d’orientation de carrières pour notre population étudiante au MBA. Comprendre nos besoins spécifiques, saisir les enjeux, élaborer un module innovateur, présenter étaient des défis de taille que Mirella a su composer avec succès. Une approche très professionnelle et humaine, une excellente capacité d’écoute tout en étant d’une grande adaptabilité sont des attributs qui caractérisent Mirella. Je vous la réfère sans hésitation.

Patrice Bernard, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Shared Services, Business Development Bank of Canada
I had a chance to work with Mirella on different occasions. What struck me was the fact that there was nothing in common in those coaching mandates: different issues, different goals. I realized that Mirella’s effectiveness does not depend on a specific type of intervention. In each she was capable to go deep to the root cause of behaviours. The coachees were provided thoughtful questions to evolve their leadership to the next level. She does not only work on the "what to do" but also on the "why we act a certain way". This leads to long-lasting personal development.

Kevin O’Brien, President and GM of Weight Watchers Canada (former Chief Commercial Officer, AIMIA Inc.)
I met Mirella during an assessment process. She is clearly an expert. Beyond her obvious technical capabilities, she is a pleasure to work with and is skilled in providing feedback and guidance that balances the theory with the practical – all wrapped up in a style that makes it a pleasure to receive.

J’avais le choix dans le cadre de ma transition de carrière de travailler avec qui je voulais. Je connaissais Mirella puisque j’étais déjà une cliente corporative. L’approche unique de Mirella en matière de transition de carrière, sa profondeur comme coach et la qualité de ses interventions m’ont permis d’abord de faire le tri de mes acquis et ce sur quoi j’avais le goût de canaliser mes énergies, de travailler sur le caractère unique de mon offre et de redéfinir mon branding. Papillon MDC Inc. est réellement un moteur de réflexion et de transformation personnelle.

Helen Peng, MBA, AVP Talent Development (Former Manager, Learning and Development Pratt & Whitney Canada)
5 minutes after our first meeting, I already knew that Mirella was the type that would make significant differences in people's life. My instant judgment has been proven quite accurate over the last several years. She is not only an outstanding coach with extensive knowledge and solid expertise, but also one of the most decent individuals who genuinely care for people in life. She holds the highest ethical and professional standards in the quality service she provides. Her drive to bring the best in people, her integrity and strong values and her charming personality makes her a real gem in the coaching world. I thoroughly enjoy my professional interaction with her and greatly appreciate the value she has brought to Pratt & Whitney Canada.

David Johnston, Group Chief Operating Officer, London, UK AIMIA Inc.
I have worked with Mirella directly as well as having her support members of my team. I always found her input to be insightful, engaging and action oriented.

A past and future client
I retained Mirella on a number of mandates and I offer an unconditional positive testimony. Mirella has the usual essential prerequisites of a professional expert at her level: impeccable education, schooling and a capacity to work in English and French. Time and time again, Mirella demonstrated deep humanity and profound values of which integrity and trust were the ones I appreciated the most. Further, she is always there for her client and literally only a phone call away. Mirella possesses amazing knowledge, has an extraordinary gift for listening to what is said and to silence; compounded by a keen eye for body language. Mirella acted as an effective and patient catalyst in helping me move on an exponential development curve: she was not only instrumental in me improving my executive results but also in me blossoming into a better human being. I recommend Mirella to executives who are committed to their personal developments and who are willing to engage on a journey of self development.

Executive and General Manager, Aerospace and Transport Industry
Mirella is a gift to people who are willing to be coached. She is sharp, rigorous and disciplined and extremely generous of her insights, experiences and advises. She brings Courage back in the game. Under her guidance, I was brought into a transformation journey that impacted my professional and personal life permanently and positively. The title of her book says it all… ‘The courage to fall into life’ is a testimony of her ability to push professionals and executives out of their comfortable nest into something much bigger.

A business professional
Mirella’s approach is clear and straightforward. She is very thorough and very respectful at the same time. She is able to see the best in every person. My coaching with Mirella has been an extremely positive experience.

L.B., President, Consulting firm
Having known Mirella for 6 years, having seen her coach Executives and having been coached professionally by her, I knew what to expect when I embarked on the “Purposeful Career Coaching” journey: an intuitive yet professionally trained coach with a Psychology background, able to understand people like no others, relentless in ensuring value and result with her coaching mandate, challenging clients to surpass themselves, not letting them ‘ride the wave’ … and doing all this while connecting at the core with the individuals. I saw, once again, that Mirella stands on a league of her own – most professional, adaptable coach with powerful insights and ability to bring the client through a journey of her own to reach the desired destination (which will vary greatly from one person to the next). Her approach, her ability to listen to what is said – and what is left unsaid -, her amazing ability to ask just the right question at the right time so clients can draw their own conclusions, all make her an unmatched coach. Mirella has been instrumental for me in my own personal journey leading to the foundation of my company. By her accurate insights and knowledge of people, she has helped provide greater clarity for myself and helped me move forward with my vision. Mirella has been a true partner and a side-by-side, unparalleled, invaluable coach. Having been responsible in the past for coaching mandates worldwide, I can easily evaluate coaches; there’s no doubt in my mind that Mirella scores at the very top. I don’t hesitate for a second to recommend her for any of her services and am confident in her ability to make a true difference. Thank you Mirella!

I met Mirella De Civita as part of an interview process with an international loyalty company. From the moment I received her introductory email outlining the prework that would fuel her assessment, I knew that I was working with a true expert. I was immediately energized to work with her. Her process is unequalled in its thoroughness, combining an array of testing techniques with a thought-provoking Skype interview. Mirella’s tenacity to understand my rational and intuitive leadership skill sets was masterful. By the end of the interview process, I felt completely heard. But more importantly, I felt completely understood. I was confident that Mirella had the clarity she needed to determine if I was the fit for the job. But what really surprised me was that I also felt that she was making sure that this company was the right fit for me as well. Ultimately, I did not get the job but I felt that this was the right decision for everyone involved. Mirella has continued to work with me to help me better understand what makes me tick and how to best market my personal brand. Mirella is a shining example of a professional that has found her calling. Her passion to find the right person, for the right job, in the right company is #1 in her field. On a personal level, she has helped me to grow as a leader. I would highly recommend her unique expertise

Frederick Sammet, formerly SVP, CIO at Aimia; currently CIO, One10
It was my honor to meet Mirella when I underwent an individual psychometric assessment followed by a debrief with our CEO as a part of a standard induction process for incoming senior executives. The process was illuminating and highly productive in improving me as a leader and in fine tuning our executive team’s interaction. For our global company I found the virtual approach leveraging online testing and video teleconferencing to be an ideal answer to scheduling and time zone complexities while maintaining high quality interactions. It should be noted that Mirella has an uncanny capacity to understand us and dissect from our essence what is and what is not working. Likewise, she is highly skillful and creative in suggesting approaches for improvement. I found it a truly unique approach vs the typical, popular teaming and coaching methods I’ve experience in past positions. It is always a pleasure to meet and work with someone like Mirella who is truly exceptional at what they do. For me it was has been a memorable experience which continues to yield benefits.

K.H. VP, International Sourcing
Through Mirella’s guidance, I was able to step back from the everyday fast pace schedule and reflect on my decisions, my way to deal with people and grow to be a more effective communicator and leader. I always look forward to our sessions (which I have missed since the ending of my coaching with her). Thank you !!!

Michael Eliesen President & CEO NTD Apparel Inc.
I had the pleasure to work with Mirella on a Leadership Initiative that our company launched over two years ago. It is rare to find an individual that can “deliver the goods” in precisely the way that she outlined from the very beginning of the process. She was able to keep our team focused on the big picture with a slow but steady approach. Most importantly, Mirella provided us with tools to continue building upon our initial success without her involvement.

Michael O’Sullivan, Global COO of International SOS (Former COO Americas, Aimia Inc.)
Mirella is a rare talent. She combines business insight and corporate experience with a deep understanding of what it takes for leaders and teams to be successful, and then relentlessly supports them in the journey to get there.

Edmée Métivier, Former Chef de la direction - Fondation des maladies du cœur du Québec and previously Executive Vice President, Financing and Consulting - Business Development Bank of Canada
Team development is as important as personal development in the success of a business. Mirella was instrumental in helping me and members of my team learn about ourselves and how best to work with different styles of leadership. She is insightful and deeply cares about human beings.

C-Level Executive, Global Firm
Although I have always been a big supporter of coaching programs, I was dubious of the effectiveness of coaching programs that were led by others who did not have deep expertise in the industry, leadership, etc. I was so happy that I took a chance to try Papillon MDC Inc. – besides driving my performance to other levels that were consistent with my style; I used Papillon MDC Inc. with other members of my executive team with results that were perceptible in the first months of the program. Mirella and her team ensured that everyone had the right kind of match – all professionals but the match was important to ensure the program would be as effective as possible. As further value, Mirella and her staff are dedicated to the sustainable growth of every individual - they put in countless extra hours after the coaching program is over to ensure you have continuity in owning your own path to be self-reliant.

Jon Reider, Senior Executive, Consultant
I was very fortunate to meet Mirella through an interview process almost 10 years ago and was immediately taken by her sense of goodness, her impeccable professionalism, and her amazing insight. What sets her apart from the pack is her continued interest in your wellbeing and her genuine concern for your ongoing success. She has ended up playing an integral role in my professional career and has become an important guiding force for me. She is truly someone that makes a positive impact on everything that she does.

JPL, Executive, Consulting
Working with Mirella was a life changing experience. I would recommend her to any executive who feel stuck and not afraid to challenge some of his/her deeply rooted beliefs.

Senior VP Customer Service - technology firm
I have had the great pleasure of working with Mirella who has been my coach for the last 2 years. In my long career, I was exposed to various firms/coaches; none of them of the caliber of Mirella and her team. The approach is professional, direct, with a clear framework. Mirella really coaches... not just principles: she provides direction, she doesn't sugar coat ... I have grown as a leader and as an individual. Best experience of my career!

Exécutif
Lorsque j’ai été nommé à un poste exécutif siégeant au comité de direction, j’ai eu la chance d’avoir Mirella pour aider à faire la transition vers ce poste. Son accompagnement m’a permis de faire cette transition avec un très grand succès. Sa grande écoute, son approche et son expertise ont fait toute la différence dans l’atteinte de ce nouveau sommet pour moi.

Y.K.
“Because of my clinical background, it was imperative for me to find a mentor that was able to help me develop a coaching style that blended my previous work experience with my newer role as an executive coach. I am grateful for Mirella’s support and guidance in helping me identify and develop this “voice” as a coach. “

D.E., VP of Sales, Apparel Industry
Good program! Mirella is as good as it gets; patient and a great teacher. You feel she can connect with you both one-on-one and as a group. Overall, it was refreshing to have a group of people from other industries to “sharpen our minds” and learn to be real coaches and leaders together.

Michael Zea, VP Strategy, United Rentals (Former President & CEO Aimia US Region)
Mirella and Papillon MDC Inc. were instrumental in helping my executive team to bring our strategy to life, by aligning us on a charter of behavior and better understanding and working across each other’s communications styles. Her in-depth analysis of each executive’s profile combined with a robust leadership development toolkit, and constructive facilitation, allowed us to reach our full potential. And we had fun doing it!

Lucie Martin, Corporate Director, Talent Management, Kruger Products L.P.
Papillon MDC is unmatched when it comes to developing best-in-class programs. Mirella and her team's professionalism, combined with their wealth of experience, knowledge, insight and attention to detail have led to the development of a high quality mentoring program in our organization. In addition to developing programs that fit our culture, the professional coaching services are clearly making a difference and helping us develop our team and improve our bench strength. If you're looking for results and want to improve the development journey for your team, I would highly recommend Papillon MDC.

Debbie Magwood, M.Ed., OPQ Founder, Executive Director, West Island Cancer Wellness Centre
The West Island Cancer Wellness Centre was very fortunate to have won a contest for nonprofit organizations and was 'gifted' with Mirella De Civita's expertise. Our organization through 'The Alignment Project' not only gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, but her guidance and support has strengthened our charity. It is clear that PapillonMDC's expertise has helped to further solidify the team and strengthened our organizations goals and objectives. I would highly recommend Papillion MDC.

Président: Fabrication - Distribution
Travailler avec Mirella, c'est accepter de bûcher. C'est accepter de se faire challenger. C'est accepter que tes questions, c'est seulement toi qui peut les solutionner. C'est accepter que tout ne se fait pas dans l'instantanéité. C'est accepter que tu peux parfois te tromper. C'est accepter que tu peux et que tu dois progresser. C'est accepter de continuer.
