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

“... During the workshop, Ricardo presented customized and updated content, with high-quality materials, totally aligned with what was required by us. 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. His presentation was superlative and extraordinary. He pays attention to details, answering all the questions raised by during the event, which, by the way, had very satisfactory participants results. I recommend Ricardo's services to companies that want a good return on their investments and a lasting partnership.”

“Our partnership with Ricardo Vargas was not about business. It was a common well-done challenge in which we had the opportunity to join our experience with his charismatic leadership. The tangible and immediate results were three months less in the schedule of Baguari HPP implementation and a new book collecting our knowledge on Hydro Power Plant developing. But the most critical work can be in the future.”
