Testimonials

“I knew Ricardo through his first book in 1998. I was a Microsoft Project instructor and it needed to give an 80 hours course about projects management. In that time we didn't have much reference on the subject here in Brazil, because of this I sent an email to him who gave me many hints and support. Through his knew PMI and turned me projects manager.”

“... I believe that as many see Ricardo as the professional reference, like the model that should follow. More than a model, an icon Ricardo is a happy person, brilliant and humble, that on each lecture presented gives an idea on how to be professional.”

HP chose Ricardo as the right professional for this mission.”

He covered notable titles related to the management of large and complex projects, such as leadership and its interfaces with the project team and consumers; motivational management - dealing with aspects of power; change, conflict, stress and crisis management; project negotiation techniques - using support tools, such as MBTI and SDI; and also case study panels, in which project managers had the opportunity to share with their competencies.
