We are experiencing a silent collapse in companies ...
We’re experiencing a profound shift in the world of work. Pressure for results, complex challenges, unstable environments, and fractured relationships are severely impacting people’s mental health. Between 2023 and 2024 alone, the number of absences due to mental health issues increased by 68%, surpassing 400,000 cases. This scenario demands new ways of leading, communicating, and collaborating. Do
you feel this in your daily life?
What if you could :
- Create more connected, productive and mentally healthy
- Bring a globally recognized and validated method to your organization or consultancy
- Develop your authority as a leader or facilitator with an approach that balances results and well- being.
- Connect with an international network that believes that people and results go hand in hand.
The Conference is for you if :
Tired of superficial solutions to complex problems?
Want to develop leadership with more purpose, psychological safety and consistent results?
Do you want to stand out in the market with a transformative difference, a method that combines problem-solving, learning and direct impact on well-being?
This is the proposal of Action Learning
Present in over 70 countries, Action Learning combines real-time learning with collaborative problem-solving. While generating concrete results, it develops essential skills such as leadership, communication, active listening, collaboration, and innovation.
At the WIAL 2025 Conference, you will experience firsthand how the method drives structural changes in teams and organizations, strengthening bonds, preventing conflict, reducing psychosocial risks, and creating more intelligent, humane, and productive environments.
Where does this transformation take place?
In São Paulo, at the Blue Tree Convention Center, a prime location offering security, comfort, and excellent lodging, dining, and leisure options,
this is the venue for the conference, which brings together leaders, consultants, coaches, and HR professionals to explore, in practice, how to transform complex problems into concrete solutions, improve collaboration, and create more productive, humane, and mentally healthy work environments.
