I am interested in the development of interpersonal and emotional competencies in adulthood, contributing to the capacity to interact effectively with others and manage or lead people at work. My initial research examined the link between emotional intelligence, measured using an ability test, and the quality of social interaction. Now I am focusing further on the ability to manage challenging interpersonal situations at work, encompassing emotion regulation, the appraisal of ambiguous social situations, perspective taking and conflict management. In a related line of research, I look at interpersonal adaptability and learning from experience. This research informs the design of training programmes that I am now developing, aimed at enhancing emotional and interpersonal competencies in educational and organizational settings.

At the Faculty of Economics and Management of the Catholic University of Portugal, I teach courses on Organizational Behavior in Executive Education, MBA and MSc programs. I also teach workshops on creativity. In my earlier career, I worked in business and journalism and co-directed an award-winning documentary film.
