The more you know yourself, the better you become as a leader

You lead the transformation

Hello, my name is Guilherme Bcheche. I’m a psychoanalyst and strategic consultant. I work with organizational leaders who believe that businesses - big or small, old or new - need self-confident human beings and reflexive leaders to achieve collective goals and positive impact.

Singularity leads the way

Acknowledging “singularity” — the uniqueness of individuals characterized by non-conformity and even rebelliousness — is key in helping leaders, teams, and organizations become aware of what influences their dynamics and performance. Giving room to singularity can free them from perfectionist stances or rigid leadership styles, thus spurring their ability to sustain growth and adapt to business challenges.

Psychoanalytic approach

Every process is unique in its goals, form, and achievements. It’d be naive to summarize a one-size-fits-all formula or methodology. Instead, we need to adapt to the singularity of each case — envisioning the type of approach that would work best for the situation.

Psychoanalysis — the study of the conscious and the unconscious in the mind — can shed light on behaviors and recurrent conflicts that appear irrational. Oftentimes, blind spots in our thinking, such as unconscious biases with origins from deep-seated experiences, could manifest in dysfunctional behavior, thus undermining personal dynamics and performance.

In according unconscious and irrational life the same status as the conscious and rational one, psychoanalysis is invaluable in helping leaders and organizations understand and address underlying thinking and emotions impacting them. Psychoanalysis allows for the understanding of what is happening beneath the surface, thus paving the way for open discussions and sustainable, satisfying changes.
