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!

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.

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

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

L.D., Senior Vice President, Human Resources Limited Brands Canada

My professional experiences with Mirella De Civita have been nothing less than outstanding. She provides such valuable insights and places a strong emphasis on building partnerships that last a lifetime. Her extensive academic background, coupled with her strong professional experiences, have proven very valuable in my interventions with Mirella. She is such a pleasure to partner

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

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

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

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!

Manager at Pratt & Whitney Canada

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.

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.
