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

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”

A.S., PPCC Coach, Concordia University

Working with Mirella has been a rewarding experience.  Her professionalism, dedication, patience and inspiration have transformed my coaching skills. As a mentee I learned a lot from Mirella, and I highly recommend her mentorship

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Lucas Pedreira Lapa, Head of Legal (São Paulo, Brazil)

Last week I concluded a senior leadership training for Alstom in our headquarters in St Bruno/ Montreal. Excellent opportunity to update our skills in leadership and management and interact with dear colleagues! Thank you very much, Stefano Di Lollo! The training was outstanding!

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.

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.

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!
