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
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
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!
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. 😉
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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).
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.
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.
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!
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!
“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 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!”
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
