As an employee in an international, large corporation - TechnipFMC with 17
000 people - I have contributed as lecturer and coach/facilitator for
individuals and groups, and have accumulated valuable experience.
Roughly speaking, this is about helping managers to handle their job better,
and generally helping colleagues to manage demanding days at work.
Examples of what I can assist with:
This is from a course held for customers in Italy:
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression
and knowledge, and you are a brilliant teacher and worker who managed to
awaken my curiosity and thirst for wisdom. Thank you so much for your time.
I really Glad to have met you.
Looking forward to see you again. Sincerely, Francesco."
Francesco Pitzalis, ENI Milano, 23. februar 2017
My lecturing experience dates back to my Ph.D. days, but then it was
chemistry, thermodynamics and industrial process technology. This last topic
(“subsea processing”) I still teach, for customers and colleagues worldwide,
and in universities.
I draw on experience from about 30 years since I graduated, including my time as manager,
ranging from
small startups to huge corporations¹.
Gradually I’ve been used more and more by HR. This is very rewarding in many
ways. I guess this confirms what others say; the more devoted you are, the more
inspiration you get back. And the gestalt craftsmanship is used all along.
As an illustrator I base my presentation material mainly on my own drawings,
investing a bit of pride in delivering courses and sessions that reach the
participants and feel relevant. The leading star is simplicity and
brilliance as we can see it on
