Description
Rethinking Time, Energy & Priorities
Format: Interactive workshop – adaptable from 25 to 90 minutes
Objective & Benefits:
This session challenges the idea of “not having time” and helps participants identify the real causes of overload — often linked to priorities, delegation and emotional patterns rather than time itself.
25-minute session focus:
-
Practical introduction to the Eisenhower Matrix
-
Identifying whether overload comes from lack of prioritisation, difficulty delegating or emotional attachment to roles
-
Reflection on the emotional drivers behind over-responsibility
Benefits
-
Clear identification of true priorities versus constant urgency
-
Reduced overwhelm and mental overload by stepping out of “autopilot mode”
-
Improved time and energy management by addressing urgency-driven behaviors and breaking the habit of reacting only to urgent tasks
-
More effective delegation through without guilt or loss of control
-
Better decision-making around removing low-value activities from the agenda, including awareness of the emotional drivers behind "letting go

About the Host
My work bridges business reality and human development, combining executive experience with practical mentoring, coaching and facilitation. I support individuals, teams and entrepreneurs in navigating change, decision-making, responsibility, emotional regulation and sustainable performance, always aligned with their values and real-life priorities.
With 11 years as an executive in a multinational financial environment and over a decade mentoring entrepreneurs and coaching professionals, I bring together corporate experience and hands-on facilitation to support sustainable change, better decision-making and aligned ways of working and living.
I believe that sustainable results — personal or professional — come from developing the human being behind the role. My approach is practical, reflective and human-centred, focused on autonomy, self-leadership and conscious choices rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
My work focuses on helping people understand themselves better — their values, priorities, talents and challenges — so they can make decisions and build paths that are sustainable over time, not just successful on paper. I don’t provide answers; I facilitate reflection, clarity and practical integration.
I am also deeply committed to social impact, having worked in volunteer programs supporting people in unemployment, career transition and, currently, within the prison system, focusing on autonomy, emotional regulation and personal responsibility.
A significant part of my work over the last 2 years also focused on female leadership and women’s health, informed by my own experience and dedicated study of female cyclicality. I collaborate with health professionals, that I partner with throughtout my ecommerce business and work with women and leaders on understanding how to align energy, productivity and decision-making with natural cycles — both professionally and personally — to create more sustainable ways of working and living.
I have lived and worked in Portugal, the UK and Angola, and delivered talks and workshops in Portugal, Spain and the UK.
I am passionate about dogs, playing the piano and social dance.
