Make Me Proud
October 3, 2026
As Associate Director for Career and Talent Development at Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics, I have a privileged view of both sides of the talent journey: candidates and employees on one side, and employers on the other. I have seen firsthand how a less well-known company can make a lasting impression from the very early stages of the relationship: through university activities, recruitment processes, onboarding, internships, and early-career programmes. Because the relationship...

The Doors We Can’t Open Alone
October 3, 2026
Partnerships create doors that none of us could open alone. There is a reason “who you know” has survived as a piece of career advice for generations. Knowledge gives you credibility. Relationships give you access. But both have limits when they remain within the boundaries of one person, one organisation or one industry. The interesting value of a partnership starts when those boundaries disappear. A technology company knows things a leadership network does not. A professional network can...

PWN GLOBAL SUMMIT 2026, LISBON Leading with Collaborative Intelligence
July 3, 2026
Across two days, through conversations about Power, Progress and People, one idea kept returning: the future will be led by people who know how to bring others in, listen deeply, work across differences, and build trust. That is what Collaborative Intelligence means. As the Co-Presidents closed the Summit, something had shifted. Not only in how people were thinking, but in how they were connecting. Collaborative Intelligence is not just a theme. It is becoming a capability, a way of leading,...

PWN Global Summit 2026: This is your moment. Do not miss it.
May 14, 2026
There is a moment in every career when you look back and pinpoint the conversation that changed everything. A room you nearly did not walk into. A speaker who said the thing you had been thinking but could not yet name. A person you were seated next to who becomes a collaborator, a sponsor, a peer you think alongside for the next decade. Those moments do not happen on a webinar. They do not happen in a one-hour panel you watch from your desk with your notifications on. They happen in rooms....

Strategic Partnerships: The Leadership Superpower for a Changing World
January 28, 2026
What if your next big breakthrough did not come from within—but from who you choose to partner with? In an era defined by complexity, volatility, and interdependence, the leaders who thrive are those who master the art of strategic partnerships. They recognise that today’s challenges—climate disruption, digital transformation, geopolitical shifts, and social fragmentation—cannot be solved in isolation. Success is no longer a solo pursuit. It is a symphony—composed through collaboration,...

Quiet Quitting: Disengagement embraces a Silent Rebellion
July 17, 2025
Quiet quitting refers to the growing phenomenon where employees consciously limit their effort to what is explicitly required by their job description—no late-night emails, no unpaid overtime, no extra-mile enthusiasm unless it’s acknowledged and rewarded. It's not about slacking off, but about setting clear boundaries and withdrawing emotionally from a system that no longer feels fair, or fulfilling.
