Testimonials

“The Be TEAM programme exceeded all my expectations! From the design of the journey that my team and I would undertake across 5 sessions to the sessions themselves, everything was carefully thought out and brilliantly led by the duo Maria and Marina. Always professional and committed, they were able to ensure an environment of deep sharing and zero judgment, enabling us to expose our weaknesses and learn together. Throughout the weeks of the sessions, I could clearly see the team's evolution and a distinct shift in our interactions and group work! We finished this journey knowing more about ourselves and about who we are as a team. We now have clear action plans for the areas we collectively decided to improve. I hope to work with you again very soon! Congratulations and I wish you continued success! Thank you! Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment to our team! We are already reaping many rewards from the work we did together.”

“When I was appointed to a new leadership role within the company, new challenges arose. To overcome them, I needed new tools and personal development techniques to be better prepared for this transition. Based on a recommendation, the company chose P4S as our competence development partner. I met Maria Serra, and after an initial conversation where we identified my main gaps and needs regarding Emotional Intelligence, we opted to implement the P4S EQ360 tool. This confirmed some of my areas for improvement and brought others to light. In subsequent sessions—and with some homework along the way—we smoothed out the rough edges and mapped out paths to help me efficiently fulfil my new duties. Every area identified for improvement was addressed, and today I am incredibly grateful to Maria Serra. In just a few months, she helped me become a more prepared and competent professional in my new role. Thank you so much!”

“The 'Leading with Emotional Intelligence' training helped me, in an objective and fascinatingly practical way, to become aware of my emotions and the triggers that spark them. This programme gave me a tool that I use daily to develop and improve assertiveness, empathy, emotional self-control, insight, and coaching. Thank you, Maria, Marina, and P4S!”

“The feedback and results from the Emotional Intelligence training were highly positive. A particular highlight was the learning of new ways of working and being—specifically regarding empathy, motivation, and communication within and between teams, as well as in conflict and stress management. The objective of encouraging employees to reflect and creating the time and space for self-awareness and understanding others was fully achieved.”

“P4S were wonderful, warm, friendly people to work with and showed empathy, patience, flexibility, insight, allowed discussion and a real passion for their work – in other words showed emotional intelligence.”

“MBTI allowed me to know myself and understand others better. Its various practical applications make it possible to take teams to new heights of performance. P4S combines a powerful tool with the experience of its partners, which drives us towards these new results.”

“A high-level training programme combined with top-quality trainers! Managing people is currently one of the greatest professional challenges I face, given the ever-changing environment and the constant need for adaptation. The personal and professional impact of this model is direct and can be implemented immediately. Engaging the management team is crucial to achieving these results.”

“The decision to carry out an MBTI exercise company-wide and partner with P4S proved to be extremely positive. Through a powerful tool and the competence of the P4S team, it was possible for everyone to deepen their self-awareness and, above all, to better understand others, thereby improving internal collaboration. There will certainly be a 'before' and 'after' following this session!”

“I was first introduced to MBTI during a training programme at IMD back in 2008 and became an instant fan! It is a fundamental tool for self-awareness, fostering respect for others and their differences, and facilitating effective communication. I decided to ask P4S to support us with a session for my direct team, aiming to increase individual self-awareness and understand our collective dynamic as a team. I believe this is the formula for working more effectively, avoiding as much as possible the unnecessary 'noise' generated by inadequate communication or a lack of understanding of others' motivations and needs. It was an inspiring and rich session that served as a catalyst for work that must now be driven by us, every single day.”

“I was first introduced to MBTI while attending the Full-time MBA at Instituto de Empresa (IE). MBTI was a highly important tool during my integration into the MBA programme and for the group work I carried out there. It showed me just how different people can be from one another, and that each person possesses unique skills and distinct behaviours. I learned to manage expectations and better understand those who interact with me. Today, following my MBA, I continue to use my knowledge of this tool very frequently in my professional life. It has enabled me to successfully manage heterogeneous teams with diverse backgrounds. I believe this knowledge is fundamental for any manager who deals with teams.”

“As part of the Career Management module of the MBA at ISEG, School of Economics and Management, Universidade de Lisboa, we partnered with P4S to work with MBTI. It was a highly enriching experience, which all students considered fundamental to their professional and personal development. While MBTI is a 'well-known tool', I would like to highlight not only the depth of the insights provided by P4S but also the professionalism in the 'delivery' of the results, which undoubtedly made all the difference.”

“MBTI is a fantastic tool for both management and communication. It is surprising how much a simple understanding of how the person on the other side of a conversation thinks, and what drives them, can impact the outcome. Equally surprising is the impact that just one or a few good conversations can have.”

“My initial perception of the personality assessment was that it was somewhat difficult to decide on the answers, given that life is not always black or white. However, through the progression of the questions and the personal debrief, it was precisely the requirement to make decisions based on the choice criteria that allowed a profile to take shape—one in which I ultimately saw myself completely. In a manager's life, the moment of decision-making is usually the hardest part; finding support for those moments is crucial, and that was exactly the impression I was left with: the sheer usefulness of the tool as a decision-making aid.”

“I participated in the emotional intelligence certification with P4S, which I highly recommend due to its outstanding level of quality and excellence, highly relevant syllabus, and trainers who are top references in the field. The constant sharing of ideas during the training, as well as the rigour, availability, and high empathy with which the entire P4S team treats their trainees, demonstrate the great dedication and the elevated standard of excellence and professionalism of this organisation.”

“The EQ-i 2.0/EQ360 Emotional Intelligence Certification by P4S has been decisive for my development and experience as a psychologist-coach. I discovered this psychometric tool for measuring Emotional Intelligence during my training in Psychological Coaching, and it will certainly be one of the primary instruments for my sessions. The programme is very well-structured, featuring an initial online phase that includes the opportunity to complete the EQ-i 2.0 assessment and receive feedback, followed by two days of in-person sessions, where you have the chance to consolidate your knowledge and learn how to use the EQ-i 2.0/EQ360 with the guidance of a highly experienced trainer. These sessions are tailored to the trainees' needs and offer hands-on opportunities to put into practice the skills required to apply the tool. By the end, I felt fully prepared for the online exam, which I completed with a score of nearly 90%.
Finally, the very close mentorship and support I have enjoyed from psychologist Marina Pinheiro have been crucial to my progress in utilizing the tool. Not to mention the post-training support, which includes Q&A sessions to help certified trainees leverage the full potential of the EQ-i 2.0/EQ360. For all these reasons, I highly recommend this Certification course and wish every success to P4S and its trainees!”

“In P4S, I found an extraordinary tool that not only helps clarify who I am as a person but also develops my competences along this ICF coaching path. Emotional Intelligence has always been an area of great interest and curiosity for me, and it was one of the key drivers behind my search. I also decided to pursue this Emotional Intelligence certification with the purpose of helping my coaching clients clarify and manage their emotions, fostering the development needed to create a real, positive impact on their personal and professional lives. This, in turn, can directly impact their organisations, interpersonal relationships, goal achievement, and well-being.
The support provided from the very start of this training was an engaging experience, which fostered a greater openness to developing my skills. From Juliana's warm welcome and Marina's empathy during the feedback session, to Fernando's great energy and ability to deliver knowledge, it was an accumulation of excellent moments that result in great satisfaction.”
