Hi, I'm Inez

I help build workplaces where people, reputation and results grow together.

Inez Corrêa de Sá

Anglo-Portuguese, based in Portugal — with England, Germany and Switzerland along the way.

I help organisations speak like the humans running them: with meaning, purpose, and the kind of honesty that builds trust.

Consulting, Mentoring & Board Member (not all at once!)

In short: I sit alongside people who are building something — and help them say it, run it and grow it well.

Scout Around Portugal
Scouting trips for those exploring Portugal.

Mentoring (personal, relocation, life stages)
One-to-one conversations where the answers stay yours. I bring the experience; you choose the path.
Consulting & advisory
Strategic guidance for entrepreneurs and businesses — culture, internal communications, reputation and leadership presence.
Sports organisations
The same strategic guidance for clubs, federations and associations, where community and performance meet.
Board member
Non-executive and supervisory board seats, bringing governance, oversight and a communications lens.

Sports & Art that create Discipline and Focus

Argentine tango — a full milonga floor and one shared song.

Tango teaches listening before leading.

Tango Flow — three minutes where nothing else needs saying.

Late milonga, quiet embrace, the music doing the talking.

Open water at Ilha de Tavira — team trophy and a very happy morning.

Crossing the line at the Corrida da Mulher 5 km in Lisbon.

E-bike morning along the coast, with good company.

Behind the bar at the club — someone has to make the coffee.

Masters swimming — catching my breath between sets, and enjoying every metre of it.

Off the blocks at a masters meet in Lisbon.

Outdoor pool, warm morning, one more race.

Focused before a race — swimming keeps me honest about preparation.

Masters swimming is competitive — and still very funny.

Lagoa Académico Clube, Relay Team Win.

A hand across the lane rope after the race — the best part of competing.

Swimrun — climbing out of the water and straight up the rocks.

Running into the finish on the sand at Ferragudo.

Swimrun is a team sport — you finish together or not at all.

The local paper picking up the club's masters swimmers — small town, big pride.

Sharing a session on communication and leadership — the part of the work I enjoy most.

Teaching at the NOVA Lisbon summer school — communication that is honest, open and human.
