On August 28 and 29, the city of São Paulo, Brazil, hosted the second edition of the Leadership Skills immersive program. The meeting, promoted by the StartSe International Business School, aimed to train and develop leadership skills in market professionals, through lectures, practical workshops, group dynamics and mentoring sessions.
Ideal for leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, and executives, the program explores the four core dimensions of leadership: self-leadership, people leadership, human-centered leadership, and purpose-driven leadership. Additional topics include self-awareness, emotional intelligence, effective communication, decision-making, conflict resolution, high-performance team development, strategic thinking, and innovation — all covered over an intensive two-day experience.
Lisa Polloni, mentor and author of the upcoming book O poder da compaixão no ambiente de trabalho (translated as The Power of Compassion in the Workplace) spoke at the event and joined other renowned names such as Cristina Palmaka, Daniela de Fiori, Edison Minakawa, Fábio Neto, Fabio Solomon, João Bortone, and Marcos Paulo Reis.
This was her second participation in the event. The first edition took place on April 3 and 4, 2025, and brought together over 50 market professionals in leadership roles at major companies (watch the recap video below).
In her talk, Lisa Polloni explained what leadership aligned with the principles of compassion is, how to develop engaged, connected and motivated teams, and the challenges and benefits of compassionate leadership.
