Ricardo’s journey began back in 2021, when deeply entrenched in the corporate tech world as a UX design lead he found himself battling burnout, disillusionment, and defeat. The turning point came when he reached a breaking point and sought medical help, realizing that something needed to change. This led him on an unexpected path of rediscovering himself through therapy, coaching, and experimentation. As he delved into coaching, Ricardo found a renewed sense of purpose and direction, ultimately choosing to downgrade his role in the corporate world. This decision brought him a profound revelation - that his self-worth was not tied to his title or status, but rather in the impact he made and the quality of his work… and more than products or businesses, it was always about the people and their growth. Through his own journey, Ricardo developed a unique approach to help others navigate professional transitions and transformations, culminating in the creation of the PATH Method.Ricardo’s links: https://www.ricardobrito.me/gift https://www.linkedin.com/in/ribrito/ https://ricardobrito.substack.com/ [email protected] Brito is a career and life coach with a unique approach: helping people pave their way to personal and professional fulfilling balance through what he calls the PATH Method.
