Testimonials

“I started working with Olimpio at a period when I was on the verge of becoming overwhelmed and disillusioned with my workplace. Olimpio listened to my story and helped me determine realistic goals for the coaching experience. I gained a more well-rounded understanding of myself, a renewed perspective on my workplace, and a firmer grasp on my professional and personal goals. Olimpio helped me understand the potential I have to enact change in my current role, while helping me evaluate my interest and fit for other opportunities. He provided useful suggestions for directly applying both my natural strengths and learned skills to improve my work performance while enhancing my enjoyment of it. Throughout the coaching process, Olimpio was responsive, understanding and flexible, providing expert guidance to help me set and reach my goals.”

“In our fast-paced world, it is easy to fall into the trap of wanting immediate answers to all of our questions. However, in the process of learning about how to be a better leader, I often realize that answers are discovered a bit later down the road. Olimpio challenged me to slow down and take a step back to evaluate my management and personality, and consider how they mesh and/or conflict with my team. He also reminded me that the word “conflict” is not a negative word. Rather, it is a reality, and encouraged me to embrace how to address conflict, rather than run away from it. Using various tools, he provided a safe and collaborative space for me to examine the fundamentals and essentials of good team management. Olimpio also reminded me about the importance of servant-leadership, thinking about my team’s needs first and how to best serve them in order to effectively carry out our work. Recognizing that every leader’s role is unique, he does not offer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ response. He intently listened to my own challenges and offered questions for me to work through and answer.”

"Olimpio is compassionate, warm, encouraging and has deep mastery of the material. What helped me most was the Enneagram analysis that provided me with deep insight on my own leadership style, and the specific tools I can use to create a healthier team. I learned that organizational health is even more important than excelling in the technical aspects of a business/non-profit."

“The content of the seminar was phenomenal. I am so grateful to Olimpio for putting together such amazing resources. I came away with a comprehensive overview of the drivers behind my behavior, which were extremely helpful to understand."

“Olimpio was an excellent facilitator. At times it felt like the group discussion was jumping around and not following a logical sequence, but Olimpio would always find a way to pull everything together by the end of the session and drop a dose of heavy wisdom to get us all thinking deeply. I really enjoyed the experience."

"Olimpio is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and I appreciated his ability to be clear and not back away from some of the more difficult areas. He also did an excellent job at articulating the practical steps involved in the process.”
