H24 - HUMAN LEADERSHIP
MATRIX H24 – THE HUMAN PATH FOR FUTURE LEADERS
H24 - Human Leadership
Human Leadership begins with the human being.
H24 – The Four Hearts of Human Leadership introduces a new way of understanding ourselves, relating to others and leading our lives. At its heart is a simple principle: before learning how to lead others, we must learn to understand and lead ourselves.
Through the Four Hearts, Free, Authentic, Vivid and Wise, and the H24 Human Leadership Matrix, the book invites us to recognise the beliefs and conditioning that limit our perception, rediscover our inner freedom and develop a more conscious, authentic and human way of being.
H24 is more than a book about leadership. It is a pathway towards greater coherence between what we feel, think, say and do, enabling us to live, relate and lead with greater freedom, responsibility and humanity.
Coaching Leaders
Leadership begins with the person, not the position.
True leadership development is not simply about acquiring new skills or improving performance. It begins with a deeper understanding of who we are, how we perceive the world, how we relate to others and how our beliefs and behaviours influence our choices.
My approach to coaching places the human being at the centre of this journey. Through reflection, meaningful conversations and greater self-awareness, I help individuals explore their inner resources, recognise limiting patterns and develop greater coherence between what they feel, think, say and do.
The purpose is not to teach people who they should become, but to help them discover who they truly are, and lead from that place.
– Professional Experience and Academic Background
I bring together 25 years of executive and entrepreneurial experience with more than 14 years dedicated to leadership development, executive coaching and behavioural training, having worked with over 400 individuals and delivered approximately 7,000 hours of coaching and training.
My academic background includes a degree in Management from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUC-RS), postgraduate studies in Management at NOVA University Lisbon and Marketing at ISEG, and the Advanced Management Program (AMP) at Harvard Business School.
Executive Training
Developing people. Transforming relationships. Humanising organisations.
Effective executive training is not simply about acquiring knowledge or learning new management techniques. It is about creating meaningful experiences that challenge the way we think, communicate, relate to others and act in our professional lives.
Do you really have a team, or simply a group of people you call a team?
Bringing talented individuals together does not automatically create a team. True teamwork emerges when people develop trust, share a meaningful purpose, recognise one another’s contributions and learn to work together beyond their individual roles.
My approach to executive training is grounded in Human Leadership and experiential learning. Through practical exercises, group dynamics, meaningful conversations and reflection, participants are invited to explore their behaviours, challenge established patterns and discover new ways of leading, communicating and collaborating.
Training becomes transformative when learning goes beyond intellectual understanding and becomes a lived experience. The objective is not merely to change what people know, but to expand their awareness, strengthen their relationships and enable lasting behavioural change.
Human development is the foundation of organisational development.
Whether working with leaders, management teams or organisations, each programme is designed around their specific needs, challenges and opportunities for development.
An initial conversation allows us to understand those needs and explore the most meaningful path forward.
Testimonials
-
I met Manuel Pelagio in a Master I attended 2 years ago. I was so transformed because it was no longer a formation (of the many I do a year) is directed to the Self and helps us to look inside ourselves because that is where we control everything around us; They are intimate and humanistic formations, sometimes even emotional. Two years ago we made one with our Consultant Agents and structure that they liked a lot and repeated last year already with evolution.
This year if there is as I expect new developments, we will have to make a new financial effort (because we live on an island) because I know that results and brand. People wonder what was broadcast and they won’t come out the same as what they got in.
I strongly advise both Brokers (Positive Leadership) as well as Agents. A hug.
JAIME ABREU – BROKER REMAX ELITE I – Funchal -
SARA JARDIM – INOVALIDER -
“There is a life before and a much better life after meeting Manuel.”
PEDRO ORNELAS – FORMANDO EXECUTIVE MASTER – FUNCHAL -
“I met Manuel Pelagio in a module of SGS’s Executive Master of Strategic Management, in a module entitled“ Positive Organizations – Leaders with meaning and purpose ”, and in just 20 hours, what happened was the transformation of what were for me the paradigms in my management of personal and professional life. I have learned that this separation does not really exist, and as we are more genuine and positive, first of all with ourselves, we are also with others, better companions, better colleagues, and especially, when in that position, much better leaders!
In short, it was enough to say that meeting Manuel Pelagio was a turning point in my life. I changed my profession and my life. To live it more genuinely, also helping more and more effectively those around me that I somehow lead. ”
FILIPE GOMES – BROKER REMAX ELITE II – Funchal -
“Manuel Pelagio has the extraordinary ability to make us find our own self, so important to meet in the troubled family, social and professional life. It also has the ability to create absolutely magical group dynamics where players unreservedly show their best. ”
PAULO GOMES – DIRECTOR SGS PORTUGAL -
“I started with the left foot. Perhaps the same with which as many as they are fed up with so much empty formation begin. I made sure not to be impressed by a certain blasé air. After all, too much humility can be evidence of the greatest eyebrow. May all who play Manuel Pelagio end up like me, renewed in my beliefs about the human being. ”
CARLOS RODRIGUES – DIRECTOR TERRA NOSTRA GARDEN HOTEL – AÇORES -
“Manuel is a person of strong convictions, whom life has taught that it is always possible to find alternative paths. It believes that it is possible to provide quality of life for people, both professionally and personally. Open to knowledge and without prejudices of a socio-professional nature, Manuel is a free spirit that transmits enthusiasm to those who listen to him and “exudes” seriousness and transparency in what he does. ”
JOSÉ COELHO MARTINS – HUMANBRIDGE -
“… Little, very little time… One of the reasons that led me to enroll in the course was the awareness that I need to work the famous softskils, my expectations were very high. You did not choke, but on the contrary you said: “you were / you are very important to me!”
Undoubtedly, for me there was one before MP and after MP I relearned that it is possible to be human at work, without those around us taking what we have good. I recommend, I insist, it is not time wasted, it is time invested! I look forward to the possibility of crossing again, ideally as a coach;)! ”
PAULO BRAGANÇA – EXECUTIVE MASTER -
“I was fortunate to work with Manuel on the few opportunities that arose from giving behavioral training to the group of senior managers in my company. Having been my “elected” from a short list of candidates, I could see very quickly that I bet on the “right horse”.
More than a coach, it was the Human Being who excelled in his performance with the group, always combining a natural empathy and know-how, very results oriented as requested, that only the best can. I retained the results as very interesting, as a student, but fundamentally as a client. “
SOFIA MARQUES – PORTWAY RH DIRECTOR -
“With Manuel I relearned. I corrected and grew up. With great sensitivity and wisdom Manuel referred me and helped me find out who I want to be every day. Our working days were living processes of consciousness that invited me to overcome my own barriers and face the greatest challenges. Today I easily find a turning point in my personal and professional life: the before and after coaching with Manuel. Forever grateful. ”
