While the world watches large companies withdraw from ESG commitments, movements representing more than 700 organizations sign a manifesto to maintain the diversity and inclusion agenda in Brazil. This complex universe of understandings, transformations, trends and concerns for the near future is discussed with clarity and diversity of opinion in the podcast IntelliGente Chat. Presented by executives Fernanda Toledo and Aline Oliveira, the episodes of the first season talk to professionals and experts about topics ranging from new working models, through mental health, to the correlations between climate change and the positioning of corporations.
Available on YouTube and Spotify, the podcast IntelliGente Chat is the brainchild of Fernanda Toledo and Aline Oliveira, CEO and director respectively of IntelliGente Consult, a consulting and mentoring company specializing in business strategies, programs and projects.
"When we decided to make IntelliGente Chat a differentiated podcast, we felt that there was a lack of dialog in the practical way of looking at the necessary adaptations in the market, both on the part of the entrepreneur and the employees in their desires," recalls Fernanda Toledo.
In the podcast, explains Aline Oliveira, the proposal also gives listeners the opportunity to find out what companies have been practicing and what brings results beyond trends. "We're very interested in sharing how organizations see themselves in the future, considering aspects of innovation and the health of companies for business longevity," she says.
In conversations with personalities, leaders and professionals from the most diverse areas, Fernanda Toledo and Aline Oliveira also share their experiences at IntelliGente in consultancies to make businesses more sustainable and with better results.
