    In this episode with Gerardo Segat, we talked about the following:

    00:00 intro
    00:45 Why do we need to humanize leadership?
    04:00 Behaviours that we do as leaders that lead us away from a better world.
    06:00 The trigger to sell his business and become a coach.
    07:15 The inner goals he was looking for.

    34:15 Lead by example.


    After several experiences as an entrepreneur, chairman, director, and CEO, Gerardo Segat is now an international leadership coach. His purpose and legacy is humanizing leadership, his watchword is impact, and his values are authenticity, altruism, and respect. Gerardo’s secret weapon is sensitivity.

    He created PRELUDES, a coaching program to humanize leaders, organizations, and stakeholders through creative and powerful original experiences. Decision-making debates, corporate mottos, emotions-focused team meetings, and client interaction models to name a few.

    The world needs leaders who don’t hide behind a mask and find meaning, certainty, love, and freedom in themselves.

    By re-establishing the primordial connection with our inner human being, we unleash our true self, the humanity latent in us re-emerges and, by changing the course of our decisions and the lives we touch, the change extends to those around us and a better world.

    Out as Humans is a performance, both an individual and group immersive, moving, magical experience, which humanizes authentic leaders. The relationships and interactions among participants evolve thanks to a strong impulse to be open, trust, empathize, bond, and feel a sense of belonging.

      The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a communication model developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg. Consists of four key steps:

      • Observation: Describe a situation without judgment.
      • Feelings: Express your emotions related to the situation using "I" statements.
      • Needs: Identify your unmet needs or values tied to your feelings.
      • Requests: Make clear, actionable requests to meet everyone’s needs.

        • Sofia Mourato, a Portuguese creative based in Amsterdam, has worn many hats - visual artist, designer, cultural curator, communication manager, to say a few.

        In her current role as The Communication Ecologist, she brings a unique blend of artistic intuition and strategic acumen to the forefront. Inspired by the principles of the Non-Violent Communication model and the wisdom of Ecology, Sofia offers a scalable communication training that goes beyond the boardroom.

        For Sofia, the quality of our communication shapes our relationships and work. She's on a mission to turn disconnected workplaces into thriving ecosystems, where individuals can not only survive but thrive.

            • Thought of Seth Godin on the Gas-powered leaf blowers
              • “We’re not serious enough about making change happen. If we cared
