In March 2011, the company Maciel & Silveira, Treinamentos e Desenvolvimento Ltda was founded, offering oratory courses, lectures, business writing techniques, quality, and excellence in customer service, among others. At the beginning of 2018, Intrepeds – Instituto de Treinamento, Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento do ser – emerged in a reorganization process. Located in Pinhais (PR), it offers several lectures, coaching services, alternative therapies, courses, and training, all aimed at the development of the human being. Among them are the courses in Assertive Oratory; Theater as Resources to Overcome Shyness; Time management; Mental maps; How to Conduct Efficient Meetings; Sales; Professional Marketing, in addition to personal, individual, and corporate services; personalized and business assistance in the coaching area, among others.
Provided with a high-level faculty, with extensive experience in their specialties, in addition to solid training, Intrepeds is chaired by Prof. and Master in Technology Sirley Machado Maciel and Prof. and Dr. in Education Rui Valese.
In 2020, in the face of the pandemic and social distance, the Intrepeds Institute had to reinvent itself, like most companies in the sector. Its bet was to transform all courses, lectures, and services into online processes. Likewise, they started a series of live streams to give its social contribution to the moment, talking about care in the face of the pandemic and how to organize for work and study at home office.
“In our lives, we gather partners and share experiences of how they reinvented themselves in the new scenario. Throughout 2020, through our online activities (courses, lectures, and individualized services), lives and webinars, we impacted the lives of more than 35,000 people from all over Brazil ”, says Sirley Machado Maciel, president of the Institute. She also quotes the Roman philosopher Seneca: “There is no favorable wind for those who do not know the direction” and says: “The Intrepeds Institute knows its direction”.
