reflect learn grow
Dr. Bruce Pereira
“We are often drawn to people who think, feel or act like we do. It feels safe. We all need that comfort. Though we also need to grow and learn. We do so by being able to incorporate new ways of thinking and doing into our behavioral and emotional repertoire. It is only when we adopt a mindful, holistic, non-judging, and systemic mindset, that we are truly placed to honestly question our part in creating and maintaining dysfunction in the teams we lead and the systems we are part of”.

My commitment is reflected in my regular engagement in ongoing professional education, engaging with and understanding cutting-edge research, and pursuing our own research initiatives.

My doctoral research explored the role of narratives in shaping meaning, influencing relational continuity, and forming identity. I apply these insights to leadership development, identity formation, and offer specialized storytelling training, story coaching, and design services.
Through my research, I identified and validated the concept of hidden narratives — unseen stories that shape how we perceive and experience the world. By leveraging this understanding, I help leaders become more self-aware, human-centered, and reflective, ultimately fostering healthier, more inclusive workplaces.
A key focus of my ongoing research is the exploration of cultural and narrative markers of toxic leadership and organizational cultures. I use this expertise to support leaders in building impactful, thriving and purpose-driven teams and organizations. I also assist organizations in initiating and navigating the challenging conversations needed to address and transform toxic cultures.
