I am professor in MBA courses of University of Mogi das Cruzes, in São Paulo State, southeastern of Brazil. I have another occupation as consultant in Organizational Development in small enterprises. I work specifically with mathematical modelling of behavior, but I have a special interest in social psychology and the methods of investigation.
In my spare time, I practice kendo, a Japanese martial art. I seek my enhancement in this practice by the Fudōshin ( 不動心 ), which is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, "immovable mind", "immovable heart" or "unmoving heart") and Heijoshin ( 平常心 ) which could be “Keeping your state of mind all the time/in all situation”. These are very difficult concepts for a ocidental world, especially at the moment of fighting, and I use these difficult concepts to learn more about our culture, our behavior, and about my interactions with the people.
