SPEAKER

For more than 10 years I have been invited as national and international speaker on the topics of Innovation, Change, Knowledge Management, Leading digital transformation and Marketing. My presentations are an expression from personal experiences and research trends in order to inspire and help others to improve performance and self awareness.

Completed more than 100 keynotes for different industries including health care, manufacturing, fmcg, media, energy, and others, with audiences ranging from dozens to 1,000+ attendees.

Presented technical papers and keynote addresses at numerous professional conferences, corporate and government meetings.

MODERATOR

Quite often I’m invited to be a moderator in a conference or meeting. Moderating a panel is deceptively hard. How many times have you watched a panel and thought that it was informative and entertaining? It usually requires more preparation than panelists because you need to be able to pose questions about the latest industry controversies and hot issues. It’s hard to do this in real time, so I prepare the questions in advance using multiple research resources. 

Past experience as a panelist: Consumer Protection Policy in Portugal (2019);

PANELIST (up to 20 minutes)

Most people know how to give a presentation because you're familiar with the format. Not so with being a panelist. You need to convey your message, a brief story, observation or remark that's memorable and concisely communicates your intended message. 

Past experience as a panelist: eHealth Summit (2018, 2019);

Keynote Speaker (20 to 90 minutes)

A keynote - in music the note played that determines the key in which the song will be performed - is delivered to set the underlying tone and summarise the core message or one of the most important revelations of the event or meeting.

It involves specific responsibilities like writing, conducting research, logistics and travelling, delivering in an engaging way, and interact with the audience. It requires specific skills, enthusiasm, self-confidence, life experience, attention to details, and being able to work under pressure.

Past experience as a Keynote Speaker in different industries, countries and audiences include the following topics:

FACILITATOR

The facilitation of a workshop is my passion! You are challenged to create an inclusive and enthusiastic environment.The group dynamics involves empathy, active listening, verbal skills, conflict management and consensus-building.

My workshop toolkit is adapted for each topic, company, industry or challenge. it encompasses advanced simulators, lego bricks, role playing, visual thinking, and certified tools from leading organisations in the world.

From several hundred of workshops delivered here are the most required ones:

• DESIGN THINKING - introduces people to essential design thinking techniques, mindsets and behaviours in a hands-on format. 

• CHANGE MANAGEMENT - designed to help execute on your strategy while it teaches the essentials of successful change. 

• LEGO SERIOUS PLAY - its goal is fostering creative thinking through team building metaphors of their organisational identities and experiences using Lego bricks.

• BUSINESS MODEL YOU - unique visual way to summarize and creatively brainstorm around "personal business models," which reveal new ways personal skills can be adapted to the changing needs of the marketplace to reveal new, more satisfying, career and life possibilities.

The above workshops will allow you to work on difference dimensions of innovation and change moving from the individual to the team and the organisational culture. This will provide a safe learning environment allowing people to learn how to collaborate, learn how to innovate and learn how to implement.
