"The trainees positive reaction to those two days,immediately showed us, through their passionate involvement, that they felt those contents made sense for their daily life. A satisfaction analysis of the training confirmed this observation. After the first months, the impact of TEDable Presentations on the final result is visible and always to be noted, despite being difficult to measure it. We consider repeating it whenever it is necessary to improve the communication skills of our employees!"

AKÍ

"Líder AKI was one of the major human transformation support projects we decided to launch in the context of our new proximity company project. The leaders' role was absolutely strategic in change management. In fact, we believe that it was the key to success, the lever of all changes that allowed us to move in the right direction."

Seguros Tranquilidade

"From several occasions when Companhia de Seguros Tranquilidade was able to rely on his interventions, mainly in business meetings, Ricardo Vargas was always able to convey the right message, at the right time, in the right way. His unusual ability to communicate, knowing how to positively convey that for every constraint there is a way to overcome it, allows us to always reach far beyond the result that we expected."

"At times of crisis, people make a difference, or rather, attitudes and behaviors make a difference. That is why we challenged Ricardo Vargas to, along with us and our business partners, share his vision and reflection on "Managing Under Uncertainty". Ricardo Vargas' insights brought an openness of mind, a vision and an applicability to any sector, business area or profession. This session was undoubtedly a success for the change it provoked."

"I loved the short training sessions between the theory parts, so we could immediately try the things we have learned. The new structure for a presentation was so easy to implement that I improved in my second presentation so much, I could not believe it. Story and position were the very important learnings for me. You will learn presentation skills which, seeming to be obvious, in the sum of all small improvements give you the chance to transform to a new level of speaking."

"Ricardo is a notable speaker for many reasons, on the one hand he prepares the subjects very well and treats them with the required seriousness and depth to make it credible and intelligible, on the other hand, he gets close to his audiences, almost like he feels them, adapting the speech and the subject to the most appropriate tone and that actually causes more impact and emotion in the people who are always attentive following him. In our Strategic Management Program the main focus was to work on corporate culture and emphasize the virtues of multi-cultural teams and strategies to mitigate the difficulties in managing them, calling it "Business Culture and Prejudice". We had testimonies of colleagues who told us that the speech had transformed them and that they would have avoided many difficulties if they had heard it before."

In current times it is not possible to dissociate both from the most current trends in the insurance market, such as change management, globalization, competitiveness, digital market, new technologies ... In this context, Generali invited Ricardo Vargas to give a keynote speech to our employees about "The Paradoxes of Change", which proved to be an excellent contribution to face change with an open mind, as an opportunity of improvement and to fulfill our intention to encourage and stimulate a continuous learning spirit in our employees. Ricardo proved to be an excellent speaker, understanding and clearly owning the goal we proposed, and managed to create a relevant impact on our employees with his charisma and empathy!"

"Ricardo's keynote speeches are always timely and naturally effective. Ricardo is always careful to assess the clients' needs, working and adapting his speech to his audience. People identify and recognize themselves in many of the stories he shares, the solutions presented are timely, applicable and therefore motivating to those attending his keynote speeches. I consider him an excellent speaker, technically very good. I attended his last keynote speech on "The Science of Hope"."

"By the end of the first minute of a keynote speech Ricardo Vargas has captured the audience, which is just amazing. But even more than his great communication skills, I value the way in which he transmits the concepts of change and behavioral change. His impact is so high that people later use his metaphors and concepts as if they were their own. This is the best validation for the transmission of a concept I have ever seen."
