Hélio has trained leaders at the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, the UK's National Ambulance Services, and Fortune 500 companies navigating transformation. A three-time TEDx speaker and two-time Crisis Leadership Speaker of the Year, he uses his 5 Ps Framework (Predict, Prevent, Prepare, Perform, Protect) to help organisations build crisis readiness at scale.
Growing up in a favela outside Rio de Janeiro taught Hélio the difference between real danger and manageable risk. Training with special operations forces in the Czech Republic showed him how to perform under extreme pressure. Today, he applies these lessons to help leaders make critical decisions with incomplete information and guide teams through uncertainty without unnecessary risk.
Audiences learn a system for decision-making that functions when stress arrives, gain tools to lead transformation, and practice responding to pressure. Using controlled stress and live demonstrations, he recreates the conditions that cause most leaders to hesitate or panic, allowing participants to experience how their thinking changes under pressure and how it can be stabilised.
For organisations facing major transitions, competitive pressure, or crisis preparedness needs, Hélio delivers practical training for the moments that define leadership.
