Leaders
I coach leaders by providing a safe space where they can openly talk and reflect about their challenges and obstacles, as well as their dreams and goals. This generates the exploration of issues, ideation of solutions and development of action plans. Since many leaders often feel the lack of respectful challenge, I listen, reflect and sometimes gently nudge them to explore new possibilities, perspectives and foci. Research has shown that this approach can benefit both new and experienced leaders who are working towards reaching their next level and are open to exploring alternative outcomes and perspectives.

“Fernando is a very well organised, structured and still emotional coach. He listens very carefully and ask even provoking questions, in order to make coachee think deeper. He is a very warm person as well and very respectful even in provoking thoughts and new perspectives. He is a very skilled coach, with remarkable attention, asking precise and deep questions, which are helpful and respectful at the same time. He is also a very sympathetic person and it is a pleasure to have coaching sessions with him (as he has a good sense of humour as well).”
“Fernando is a seasoned coach who by his non-judgmental approach, spot on observations, effective questioning and bringing in interesting theories and visual tools not only increased my awareness but also ignited my readiness for action and change. Muito obrigada Fernando!”
“Fernando captivated me from our first coaching session meeting. It led me to know my weaknesses and develop my dormant potential. He is a coach who knows how to provoke in you an introspection to bring yourself the solutions to your challenges. His approach methodology creates a friendship that exposes you to his full knowledge and allows for the externalization of your buried potential. Each session with Fernando is a time of fun and learning. He is a coach passionate about his job. He does not work with his eyes fixed on his contractual rights but above all on his objectives. For example, in my coaching program with him, we had one more session than expected without realizing it. She’s a patient, methodical person, just fantastic!”
“Fernando is a very professional coach, he helped me a lot with very good methods that illuminated my path. I think he is very experienced, the part I liked the most was the technique he uses for you to answer your doubts and questions yourself, and he never said you were wrong, he talked until you saw it and realized that the right answer or action would be different and not the one you had at the beginning. That was very good, it makes you think and find solutions. For me Fernando was very important, I was lucky to have these conversations with him at the time of my life when I needed someone to help me think, I had just been appointed Acting Country Director of a large company, with his help I got good results. Another good thing about Fernando is the patience he has to listen to the person.”
