Presentation of the pair
When we co-facilitate, we often ask ourselves the following question: What are the keys to the proper functioning of a pair of facilitators?
Among the many keys to the success of a pair animation, there is one which, in itself, greatly promotes the relevance and success of the duo:
- A common objective, that of supporting you towards your success, by creating : a balanced and complementary synergy.
- And of course, complementary talents and strengths! : Knowledge and enhancement of each person’s strengths and talents.
Let’s see how Catherine de Leonardi and Alex Urda perceive their pair through their CliftonStrengths TOP 5 (inventory of Strengths and Talents):

From the point of view of Catherine de Leonardi: “Co-facilitating with Alex Urda is a moment of trust. I particularly appreciate his naturalness and his authenticity (Relationship) as well as his calm (Harmony) – talents that are oh so useful for channeling certain situations While his sense of observation and anticipation (Prudence) combined with a different way of thinking (Ideation), while being simple and objective (Analysis), also allows him to take the necessary step back to analyze the exchanges. and current interactions and put them into perspective in relation to the targeted objectives.
From Alex Urda’s point of view: “With Catherine de Leonardi, we share a natural and authentic side (Relational). I enjoy thinking in advance about new ideas or questions that she was able to collect (Input) to build the content of the seminars, she will ensure that each participant is heard, listened to and has their rightful place during the seminar (Inclusion). Her ability to take things as they come (Adaptability) and her enthusiastic temperament (Positivity). Allow us to deal with the hazards that may always arise.”
It is because everyone knows perfectly their individual strengths and talents as well as those of their partner that animation work can take on its full dimension.
The success of your seminars is 80% of you, and 20% of us!
The complementarity of our BIRDS facilitators and the commitment of your teams is the key to supporting change.
