About this presentation
This is not your typical keynote.
In Tales from Grandpa Américo, Fabrício brings to life a collection of short, humorous, and insightful stories inspired by his grandfather – a wise and witty man from the Brazilian countryside. Each “causo” (as we call it in Brazil) is a real or slightly exaggerated tale full of charm, laughter, and a touch of magic.
These stories are told in a lively and engaging way, often accompanied by Brazilian folk music, cultural references, and lots of energy. They captivate the audience with unexpected twists and end with a powerful message connected to the theme of your event – whether it’s leadership, change, innovation, ethics, or resilience.
This presentation can be tailored to open or close events on a high note or even be inserted as light-hearted interludes during a more serious program. It’s Brazilian storytelling with purpose – and guaranteed to be memorable.

One of the Granpa Américo stories opened Fabrício’s presentation at the World Management Agilty Forum in 2024. Check it out.
