Verificado @kw.comHearing Stephan Cote speak truly shifted my mindset. My key takeaways embracing a new mindset perspective, not letting the market stop me, and understanding that when you walk into a room your presence is felt before you ever connect were incredibly valuable. Working with Stephan will elevate your business, strengthen your team, and most importantly develop you. The growth starts within, and he knows how to bring that out of you.

Verificado @esca.orgWe booked Stephan for our Rising Leaders Summit, which is designed for mid-level managers and professionals earlier in their careers, and his session, The Communication Spark Plug, was a big hit with our attendees. The session focused on practical communication strategies people can immediately apply in the workplace, especially around leadership, influence, and navigating challenging conversations. What really stood out was how engaging Stephan was. Instead of just standing on stage and lecturing, he was out in the audience interacting with attendees, asking questions, and pulling people into the conversation. It kept the energy in the room high and made the session feel very real and applicable rather than just theoretical.

Verificado @axe21.orgStéphane est sans doute un de ceux qui incarnent le plus l’écoute intentionnelle. Sa manière de tendre l’oreille et de cibler l’endroit parfait à travailler avec toi, fait de lui un coach et leader incroyable. Au travers le DISC et son accompagnement, j’ai pu reconnaître mes forces et voir mes angles morts. Sans ses précieux conseils, je perdrais encore du temps à mettre de l’énergie aux mauvais endroits.

Verificado @spotsylvania.k12.va.usCompleting the DISC and talking through it with Stephan was such a beneficial experience for me not only in my workplace but also in my home. I have found it very useful in the workplace to really try and learn how my colleagues communicate and also how they receive communication best, in order to have meaningful productive discussions that benefit us all. He also pushed me to strengthen some areas and put some personal goals in place.

Verificado @sophonie.caI needed personal reorganization and was kind of afraid to commit to doing so with someone I was not sure I could trust. After speaking with Stephan about my issues I committed to take some group programs he has created and with this I have made big improvements in my professional and also personal life. That made me decide to jump in with Stephan as a personal coach. Something I have never considered before.
