About Jeff

I’ve been on your side of the table.

For 25 years I worked in sales and technology at multinational companies — 10 of them leading teams. I know what it is like to hit targets, be promoted for technical excellence and then discover that leading people requires a different set of tools.

Today, as a Master Coach certified by IGT International Coaching and creator of the Reconhecer Method, I use that experience to help professionals make that transition with method, not motivational shortcuts.

The Reconhecer Method

Coaching with method. Not motivational quotes.

Reconhecer means “to recognize”. Four movements to turn doubt into direction — each session has a goal, a tool and a practical task for your routine.

  1. Map

    Who am I today, without filters?

    An honest diagnosis. An unretouched picture of where you are now.

  2. Recognize

    Who am I already becoming — and haven’t seen yet?

    Name your saboteurs and build your identity statement.

  3. Build

    What needs to be built to sustain it?

    Production vs. busyness. A plan you can finally execute.

  4. Sustain

    How do I keep it alive?

    Rituals and golden rules. Consolidated autonomy.

What clients say

The process was a real learning experience. Each session brought more clarity about where we needed to go and what it would take to get there. I never imagined I could discover so much about myself. If I had to define the process in one word, it would be CLARITY.
Fernando DinizEngineer
My main goal was to find a purpose, a “why” — and that goal was 100% achieved. Through empathy, active listening and deep conversations, I clearly identified my purpose and the actions needed to reach it. Today I have more confidence and direction.

Coaching with Jeff completely changed my life and made me see — and take control of — abilities I never imagined I had. Gratitude!
Michaelly AlencarAccount Manager, Google
I will be forever grateful for this process — for the way you welcomed me, the clarity of your words and the patience at every step. You were simply amazing! You saw what I couldn’t see yet and gently guided me out of a zone that was never mine. Today I understand: this process was the turning point I needed.
