What people say

About Story mediation and online courses

"I realised how difficult it was to tell my story until I found support on how I could tell it better. 
Paulo provided great help when I needed to travel back in time in order to find the best way to tell a story from an important period in my life. The way he helped me to transform my memories into words was fantastic. 
Respect and discretion is the baseline of Metaphora's work. 
I highly recommend everyone to try this great service to consciously craft your story!"

Collaborators' Feedback

About workshops, research and consultation

"Truly safe space was created where we shared our stories, vulnerabilities, found common story lines and empathized"

Participant

Workshop at the DEI Nordic Forum

"I like this topic because it showed me how we live our lives through storytelling. There are stories that we love to hear and stories that we love to tell, all these stories define our life, they reproduce, adapt, grow and evolve within us."

Participant

Workshop on Sustainable Leadership

"I was able to participate in two Metaphora workshops through a new project with new colleagues. The workshops allowed us to get to know each other, and to hone in on the objectives of our new project. I absolutely recommend both workshops to a variety of groups: anyone from old friends, to family members to colleagues and teams. Also to anyone embarking on a new project, journey, or venture of any sort. Thank you Metaphora and I hope to get a chance to benefit from your workshops in the future."

Project member

Workshop for European Social fund project on Unemployed youth inclusion

"Metaphora consists of a really professional team. As I am a trainer myself I am very picky when it comes to how people facilitate groups, discussions and deliver reports, and I was really impressed by the process and the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Metaphora to teams that are starting up a longer process in order to get into the right track from the very start!"
