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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Class content was clear and nicely delivered. Concrete examples and compelling format – Easy to integrate.
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.
Great course! Really appreciate Stefano’s enthusiasm! Well done keeping us engaged in a virtual class. I’ll recommend this course!!!
The course (Navigational Conversations) is very engaging and equips the participants with the proper skill set to install a constructive communication culture. Thanks, Stefano!
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.
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.
The topics Stefano focused on fit together for leadership in times of significant change ahead!
Stefano’s workshop in Toronto made this a better-than-usual event so I was overall happy to have had the experience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I really liked the content, strategies, and the facilitator-coach (Stefano).
