November’s CreativeMornings Lisbon took place at IDEA São Sebastião, a multi-level coworking space offering a sweeping view of Lisbon, a diverse set of workspaces, and an intrinsic sense of community. Participants chatted over Daily Coffee PT/Lavazza Coffee while enjoying a breakfast catered by Eatwell.atwork and Savg Energy Drink.

Attendees had the privilege of hearing Tim Vieira, a Founder and President of Be Brave Academy and Candidate for the Presidency of the Republic of Portugal inn 2026, share his journey of building a brave new future while encountering the innate ups and downs of being an entrepreneur, parent, investor, and business person across multiple countries.

His positive, down-to-earth demeanor and desire to build personal connections provided the audience with a snapshot of his leadership style and mindset.

Tim’s experience speaks directly to this month’s theme of rhythm, eliciting some necessary and challenging questions:

• How do we build a future that is adaptive to the cadence or our learners, while navigating old structures and ways of thinking?
• How do we evolve and grow in our ever-changing landscape of business, education, and learning?
• How do continue in the face of adversity, when the beats unexpectedly change?

Our speaker challenged us to not just think outside the box but to remove the box. He shared that we have to be our own leaders, keep learning, remain mentally strong, and put ourselves around people who know and love us.

Tim wants to continue to contribute to the political landscape of Portugal by attracting and investing in talent and supporting a vision that this country offers a world-class lifestyle.
