Carmine Rodi Falanga
your facilitator, trainer, event host, speaker and stand-up comedian
Carmine has been working with a wide variety of organizations, public bodies, NGOs, businesses and individuals to design & deliver tailor-made learning and training experiences to develop competences and skills of their members. He has a background in business and marketing; experience as a journalist, author and blogger; he is a qualified trainer in nature-based methods and rites of passage for young people and adults. His main personal and professional interest is to understand how the human mind thinks in “stories”, and how these shape the reality in
which we live. The stories we craft and share, and the frames we create for them, have a huge role in the meaning we give to the events of our life and therefore to our understanding of reality.
“The essence of the Hero’s Journey is to become the Master of the Two Worlds, and to realize that Reality can be fantastic, and Fantasy can be real”

“Let’s not allow fear of confrontation or wishful thinking to cloud our perception and bias our actions. By denying and pushing away things, they grow in the dark, and one day we are surprised by the monsters that come out of the shadows. Let’s face the ugly and inconvenient truths (yes, plural!) from the beginning, and answer with courage, love, intelligence, humanity and humour.”

“When developing our online service for the 360° assessment and development of trainer competences, MarCus constantly reminded us and supported us to be user-centred, evidence-based and data-driven. This is sometimes painful, especially when the user feedback is not how you wish, but ultimately it is very necessary and enabled us to develop an optimized service package for our users.”
