Shaping a conscious organization
As the future unfolds, organizations seem to be
less busy with “going bigger”, and more with “going better”. The rise of a new paradigm
urges businesses to go beyond profit, growth, or consumer-centricity, and take not only the
people, but also the planet into consideration. As expectations for transparency are on the
rise, we need to establish a method to increase awareness and responsiveness, helping
organizations better understand the systems they operate in and the complex emotions,
beliefs, and behaviors that shape their actions and interactions.
Facilitators
To learn more about our approach and methodology in each branding, rebranding
or cultural transformation project, as well as help you navigate the different challenges
we’ve prepared for you during this course, you’ll have the experience and group facilitation
of our Branding and Organizational Culture unit co-leads, Leonor and Rita.
With a degree in Communication Design at Porto Fine Arts Faculty and a
specialization in Branding and Corporate Identity at Barcelona's Elisava.
Leonor began her professional career at Interbrand Madrid and co-founded in
2015 the Portuguese urban farming start-up Noocity, creating and managing
its brand for seven years.
With both strategic/conceptual and operational/hands-on experience (including
getting her nails stuffed with soil!), Leonor is deeply committed to
balancing informed creativity, a sharp eye for design, storytelling, and a
profound sense of ecological awareness.
Currently co-leading With Company’s Branding and Organizational Culture Unit,
she has honed her skills by taking part in the 1st Cohort of the
Sustainability as the World Needs Foundational Training Series and joining
the short course Changing the Frame at Schumacher College in the UK.
After earning her degree in Psychology and completing a PhD in Experimental
Psychology and Cognitive Sciences, Rita knew it was time to take her passion
beyond the lab and into the real world.
In 2013, she joined Thinking Big, a training company specializing in Positive
Psychology, where she immersed herself in research. By 2015, she took on a
new challenge as HR manager at Inditex Portugal, leading over 20 teams
nationwide for nearly four years.
Since 2019, Rita has been with With Company, focusing on culture
transformation programs. As the co-lead of the Branding and Organizational
Culture unit, she now shapes the strategy and methodologies that redefine
company cultures. Driven by the belief that everyone deserves to work in an
environment that fosters ecological awareness, systemic impact, and a deep
sense of communal belonging, Rita is dedicated to creating workplaces where
these principles are at the core.
With more than 20 years of experience as a Strategist & copywriter with a
focus on purpose branding and positive impact. Daniela is obsessed with
research, facts, and too many seemingly unrelated things.
Graduated in Marketing and Advertising Design from Escola Superior de
Comunicação Social in Lisbon and never stopped learning since Daniela has
taken various courses and workshops in fields that she is passionate about:
Cultural Communication; Human-Centered Design; and Social Enterprises. She
is also part of the TrendWatching and Business of Purpose communities.
As a realistic utopian (hello, Rutger Bregman), she believes that purposeful
businesses are the future and that the most relevant brands out there are
already embracing that direction.
With a focus on a holistic and future-oriented approach, we work collaboratively and
innovatively to develop business strategies, products, services, experiences, organizational
cultures and brands. This approach ensures that each solution is unique, honest, and
considers all impacts and connections between communities, citizens, and businesses.
At With Company, we believe in the power of design to transform the world into a better and
more cooperative ecosystem for everyone, every day.

Towards a more systemic, interconnected, and organic worldview, we
shape conscious organizations capable of feeling, thinking, and acting.
