Having experienced a professional world dominated by either/or thinking, where creative tensions were rarely used as sources of transformation and 'soft skills' were often dismissed as 'fluff', our founder, Marília, began to expand her knowledge and expertise in techniques that invite new perspectives.

With every opportunity – with teams she led and in executive education programs she designed and delivered – she tested and applied tools that allow fundamental people skills to be understood and practiced in a more contextualized, pragmatic, and encompassing 'BothAnd' way.

Seeing tangible results and behavior change, what once was only an idea became a method. What once was frustration is now a purpose: to grow a community of hardwired catalysts who master, on a continuum, the human skills that move the needle. As in chemistry, the ‘Catalysts’ gain the ability to speed up transformation for themselves, for businesses, and for the community around them.

Human-centered, transformative learning experiences become more critical, not less, in an AI-dominated world. AI handles efficiency, data synthesis, and complex analysis, which shifts the premium skills for humans toward areas AI cannot replicate.

At BothAnd Catalysts, we believe the relevance of human learning now focuses on four key areas:

1. Navigating Complexity and Ambiguity

2. Cultivating Transversal Skills (Transferable “Power Skills”)

3. Mastering the Human-AI Interface

4. Driving Innovation and Reinvention

Along with our methodology, which activates the convergence of three essential human capabilities and informs our content curation, our approach to customizing our signature topics is crucial for achieving successful outcomes.

From discovery to delivery, we focus on elevating beyond superficial training programs to create learning environments that drive behavior change and measurable business results.

This approach translates into a design principle that invites extensive experimentation and practice, moving away from passive, one-way teaching. We minimize the use of slides and leverage structured collaboration techniques (such as canvases, mapping exercises, and frameworks) to solve real problems.

While often used interchangeably in casual conversation, ambiguity, complexity, and uncertainty describe distinct challenges, particularly in fields like business, project management, leadership, and decision-making.

• Ambiguity is about a lack of clarity in meaning or interpretation.

• Complexity is about the intricate interconnectedness of many parts.

• Uncertainty is about the unpredictability of future outcomes.

A knowledge professional, also known as knowledge worker, is someone whose main value and contribution stem from their knowledge. They are typically involved in roles that require applying expertise, analyzing information, and solving complex problems, often with the aid of technology.
