Brazil Transition Executive Advisory | 90-Day Strategic Partnership

This 90-day executive advisory partnership provides personalized consulting, strategic planning, and ongoing guidance throughout one of the most demanding phases of international relocation. Rather than acting as a relocation agency or concierge service, this engagement helps you develop the structure, routines, and judgment needed to navigate Brazil with increasing confidence and independence.

Together, we will:

• Build a quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily planning system.

• Prioritize decisions and reduce uncertainty.

• Develop practical systems for healthcare, banking, housing, transportation, documentation, communication, and daily life.

• Interpret Brazilian cultural norms that influence relationships, institutions, and everyday interactions.

• Anticipate risks, create contingency plans, and improve decision quality.

• Design a personalized Portuguese acceleration strategy through structured immersion and meaningful real-world practice, including opportunities for guided language exchange when appropriate.

• Strategically position your professional expertise within the Brazilian university environment by identifying opportunities for internationalization at home.

The objective is not simply to answer questions, but to help you think more clearly, operate more effectively, and become progressively more independent throughout your transition.

The engagement includes twelve weekly strategic advisory sessions (approximately three hours each) over ninety days, complemented by customized planning resources, strategic reviews, action plans, and ongoing guidance between sessions, as appropriate.

Led by Sílvia Lorenso, Ph.D. (The University of Texas at Austin), Fulbright Fellow, and former Associate Professor and Director of the Middlebury School in Brazil, this advisory combines intercultural expertise, executive planning, and practical problem-solving to help you build a sustainable life in Brazil.
