As the son of Italian immigrants, Mario has an inspiring work ethic instilled in him by a family driven to overcome hardship and build a better life in the face of adversity. While trying to adapt to a new life in a foreign society, Mario’s parents made sure that he had the drive to work hard at his passions in life. And that he has.

Mario began his career as the owner of his own sporting goods store for five years. From there his career shifted and he dedicated himself to the automobile industry, working for the same car manufacturer for over 23 years. His professional instinct was not selling cars, but rather building successful relationships. Because of his exceptional sales philosophy, he was awarded the Honda Canada Council of Sales Leadership award and then further awarded the Honda Canada Council of Sales Grand Master award.

Mario studied Business Management at Sheridan College in Canada and Lake Superior State University in Michigan. He is a Value Added Associate for TTI Success Insights and is certified in Style Insights DISC, 12 Driving Forces evaluation tools and TriMetrix Emotional Intelligence. Mario lives with his beloved and business partner in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Philosophy
Mario’s philosophy regarding success has never been focused purely on monetary gain, but rather on building beautiful, effective relationships that produce the desired outcomes for employees, customers and businesses. The foundation of a successful business is effective, enlightened leadership. Strong leaders are empowered to cultivate a culture of collaboration and open communication, which leads to happy, productive employees who love what they do.

In helping people to achieve their goals, Mario’s focus is structural. It’s incredibly important to identify the key skills and processes needed to achieve the desired result, and then implement a systematic approach to learning those skills and following the right set of processes to bring those plans to fruition. This philosophy applies to individuals and organizations alike.

After a plan has been established to work towards the desired outcome, establishing improved communication between individuals throughout the business is crucial. Working with both leaders and employees to open clear lines of communication and establish genuine employee engagement can be an important tool to gain valuable insight for the organization, as often leadership is unaware of structural inefficiencies and unhealthy patterns experienced at various organizational tiers.
