Fail quickly to learn quickly and do better, much better.
I am passionate about and practice ideas that can enhance the results of our work through stimulating creativity, boldness, and training. Managing and executing projects of any nature requires organization, focus, control, and an excellent team.
To smoothly realize each project, there's nothing better than using creativity and collaboration to achieve the desired results, while being sensible and coherent with the actual needs, within the necessary costs and deadlines.
I believe we can face any large and complex challenge through intense and satisfying work for everyone involved. Focusing on the solution, not the problem, greatly helps us complete any journey while having fun along the way.
I have a collection of challenges and moments that have marked my professional journey, bringing me together with amazing people and valuable lessons that I have been able to share with many over time.
Mind maps; Lean; Kanban; Scrum; Design Thinking; Agile tools; Team woking; and others.
Learning and teaching how to do things differently and better!
It's not about me, it's about us. Always!
All the achievements I've experienced were alongside incredible professionals who share the same values.
The photos show moments of relaxation and joy, but what we lived through before each snapshot was hard work, focus, a lot of effort, and mutual collaboration.
Conflicts, frustrations, and debates were also part of our daily routine. I happily share just a small piece of the vast album of experiences I've had with various groups and talented professionals.
I cherish every letter, note, gift, and message I've received over the years. These memories are scattered everywhere and help me remember why I started and why I want so much to continue.
Teamwork has always been part of my approach, and I don't lead anyone; I lead with people. And it works very well.
Mind maps; Lean; Kanban; Scrum; Design Thinking; Agile tools; Team woking; and others.
Work with amazing people, and amazing you will always be!
The Power of Volunteering!
I have felt immense joy in being part of significant initiatives with beautiful purposes that have changed many lives.
"Presentes de Alegria" is a non-profit organization focused on giving time, attention, joy, and emotion to those who need it, such as the elderly, children undergoing hospital treatment, victims of violence, and children with special needs. It taught me to value time because for many, it is not food, medicine, or shelter that keeps the mind healthy and active, but rather attention, affection, and love.
The clown course and all the training I received were very worthwhile, allowing me to contribute and actively participate in many activities. This experience helped me overcome shyness and keep an open mind to let creativity flow, creating incredible memories and stories.
I have many other stories from volunteering that have shaped my way of working and relating to people, with commitment and results.
I also had the privilege of being part of the non-profit organization called Esmeralda. We collected a lot of trash on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and did a great job of raising awareness among bathers and the local community about the importance of preserving the sea and taking care of nature. Even my daughter Duda participated in this "wave."
Other work, such as partnering with events that gave me the opportunity to meet children living in shelters, brought even more emotion to my journey.
And of course, why not also help by donating blood? Yes, I did it many times, and I'm sure I contributed my share and saved some lives.
Well, there are so many other stories that I continue to collect with new adventures in volunteering, a practice that I cherish and invite everyone to try. It's so worth it!
Giving Hearts!
Heart and Soul, together!
It is not about win or fail; it is about keeping in movement, learning about yourself; It's about overcoming limits, about respecting your opponents. Above all, it is about exercising creativity, adaptability and resilience, even when everything seems very difficult.
The challenges and ideas I encounter in my work are often inspired by the sports I've practiced. From sports, I've learned invaluable attitudes, actions, feelings, and behaviors. These lessons have become essential tools and knowledge that have greatly helped me thrive in the workplace.
Muaythai, cycling, running, diving, skiing, among other passions that I practiced.
I really love sports!
Happier people work more and better. Fact.
Many lectures, presentations, online classes, and videos to share practices in people management, projects, and above all, ideas on how to promote well-being in the workplace.
Another collection of stories and work completed through actions I undertook with important people and many others in partnership with amazing companies that invited me or promoted my work in some way.
It has been years of experience on stage, in classrooms, and everywhere, sharing what I believe is best for people and their careers, and for companies that wish to achieve sustainable results and value their professionals.
Memories that motivate me to keep learning and spreading what I believe in wherever I go.
Some videos are available (in Portuguese) on the channel I created some time ago called "Ativahmente" on YouTube. Check it out at the link: www.youtube.com/@ativahmente8885
I really love all of this!
The whole world to explore!
Each trip gifted me not just with fridge magnets or photos to post online, but with the best presents of all: the lessons learned, the internalized inspirations, and the desire to discover more about our world.
Pieces of memories that shape my personality, my way of acting, and seeing the world. And thus, I collect different and important experiences for my professional career.
Many cities across Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, France, England, and now, living in Canada.
Ahhh, there's still so much more to explore!
Go trips and get tips!
