Mariana Mourão · Human development
I help people be more present, listen more closely and show respect in the relationships they build every day. It starts with simple gestures like pausing before replying and giving the other person room to speak.
From person to person
I want what we practise in our sessions to find its way into everyday conversations. At home and at work, that can mean asking before assuming, disagreeing respectfully or saying clearly what we need.
When someone changes how they listen or respond, the conversation can take a different direction. I want to pass on these ways of practising respect and collaboration in daily life.
Mariana’s training and qualifications
My work brings together life experience, group facilitation, study and practice. These are two strands of that journey.
My training in continuous improvement
This background shaped how I observe processes, investigate what makes work difficult and test improvements with the people involved.
My certification in Action Learning
This qualification informs how I use questions, reflection and group learning to work on real challenges.
My work
I bring questions and practices to the stage that people can keep talking about afterwards, from paying attention in daily life to feeling safe enough to speak up in a group.
See topics and formatsIn workshops and immersive sessions, I help groups hear different points of view, work on a real challenge and decide what to do next together.

Partnerships and collaboration
Collaboration is part of how I choose to work and relate to people. I value combining experience, learning from others and recognising each contribution. This helps my work reach new audiences and find new ways to connect with people who can benefit from it.
A background connecting leadership, operations and continuous improvement with human development. I bring listening, creativity and a range of facilitation approaches to design and lead sessions with care, consistency and attention to people.
Presence, relationships and learning through experience
Through Onemind, I deliver talks, experiential sessions and programmes for leaders and teams on presence, emotional regulation, trust and collaboration. Learning combines participation, reflection and practice.
Well-being and leadership development
With Juliana Sawaia Consultoria, I contribute through facilitation and the design of learning experiences on well-being, mental health and self-care in leadership. A collaboration that connects knowledge with everyday life.
To me, a good partnership creates value for participants, the organisation, the partner and the people delivering the work.
