Why this theme now

Autonomy without tools is demand.

The problem

Autonomy without tools

Corporate discourse demands initiative and protagonism, but rarely teaches the cognitive and emotional tools that sustain that autonomy. Asking for protagonism without offering self-knowledge and emotional regulation is demand, not development.

The science

Trait is not destiny

Personality, emotion and stress response have an identifiable neurobiological base and can be worked on deliberately. Protagonism is built with method.

How to travel this journey

Two ways. The same care.

Scientific curation

100% curated by Dr. Pedro Shiozawa, PhD

In both modalities, every theme, class and sequence goes through the curation of Dr. Pedro Shiozawa, PhD, psychiatrist and researcher. Classes are led by GPMH team specialists; the science behind them has a single owner.

The Predefined Journey track

Five acts, one arc.

The fixed-theme track of the Predefined modality: each class plays a role in the arc, and the sequence turns the themes into a narrative. In the Predictive Journey, the mapping selects the titles from the GPMH catalog.

Act 01 · Opening / Sensitization · Class 1 of 5 · Online · 1h

Self-Care: You at the Center

Self-care as responsibility, not comfort or fragility.

LimitsFocusPerformance
Performance: self-care as a pillar of sustainable performance
Limits: physical, emotional and cognitive limits have real cost
Clarity: self-care improves the quality of decisions
Early signs: the body warns before performance drops
Routines: small consistent practices, not extreme ones
Self-responsibility: for your own mental health at work

Act 02 · Deep dive · Class 2 of 5 · Online · 1h

Emotional Intelligence and Professional Success

Self-awareness and emotional regulation as the base of protagonism.

Self-awarenessResilienceEmpathy
Self-awareness: identifying your own emotions and others'
Emotional management: keeping clarity to decide under pressure
Antifragility: growing from failures and adversity
Resilience: recovering quickly from setbacks
Empathy: improves communication, engagement and collaboration
Application: personal and in leading teams

Act 03 · Deep dive · Class 3 of 5 · Online · 1h

Personality: The Masks We Wear

The Big Five as a tool for self-knowledge, not labeling.

Self-knowledgeRelationshipsDevelopment
Foundations: the neurobiological bases of personality
Big Five: introduction to the model as a reading tool
Stress: personality and the stress response
Relationships: the impact of traits on work relationships
Self-knowledge: a tool for personal development
Boundaries: between personality trait and behavior

Act 04 · Deep dive · Class 4 of 5 · Online · 1h

Burnout, anxiety and depression as the result of prolonged overload.

SustainabilityBalancePrevention
Burnout, anxiety and depression: definitions and differences
Chronic stress: how it affects body and mind
Warning signs: ways to recognize them early
Impacts: on productivity and wellbeing
Prevention: conscious pauses and self-care
Smart management: of workload and time

Act 05 · Closing with provocation · Class 5 of 5 · Online · 1h

Antifragile: The Challenge of Growing Through Problems

Growing from the right stress, not just resisting it.

AdaptationLearningEvolution
Fragility x resilience and antifragility: the differences
Stress: as learning, not only threat
Errors: treated as data, not as blame
Antifragile teams: grow collectively through adversity
Adaptive leadership: guides the team through change
Growth culture: turns error into evolution

The logic of the sequence

From self-care to real growth.

It sensitizes by reframing self-care as responsibility, addresses the individual's inner tools (emotional intelligence, personality), tests that balance at the edge between pressure and rest, and closes on the capacity to turn adversity into growth: an invitation to continued development.
