PEDRO TÂNGER / FOUNDER, STAT
THE PERSON BEHIND THE CHALLENGE

From training
to leadership.
From experience
to practice.

Pedro Tânger. Entrepreneur, former lawyer and martial arts master.

With more than 25 years of experience teaching martial arts and as the founder of STAT, Pedro brings together people development and the reality of leading an organisation.

His corporate experiences are not about magic formulas. They focus on attitude, behaviour and the ability to learn when a challenge demands more than the familiar.

His teaching experience also connects with executive education. NOVA SBE provides a profile of Pedro as a guest speaker in executive education.

A SIMPLE IDEA

Martial arts
are the setting.
The work is about people.

Deciding under pressure. Taking ownership. Supporting the person beside us. The experience creates the setting; reflection connects it to work.

THE APPROACH

One challenge.
Four pillars.

A memorable activity is not enough. We need to know why we are doing it, involve people and connect the experience to what the team does next.

01 /

Structure

A clear objective, a purposeful challenge and a well-defined path.

02 /

Emotion

Real involvement. An experience to participate in, not just watch.

03 /

Knowledge

Ideas and tools that make sense in your team’s reality.

04 /

Legacy

What stays: reflection, decisions and commitments for the next day.

MEET PEDRO

A different path.
A practical perspective.

From law to martial arts. From individual challenges to leading teams. A glimpse into the journey behind these experiences.

BEFORE WE START

Questions
are part of it.

Do participants need martial arts experience?

No. Corporate experiences start with the group’s objectives, not a technical level. For physical activities, intensity and participation options are discussed in advance.

Does Pedro lead every experience?

Pedro Tânger leads the talks and leadership programmes. Some hands-on experiences can be delivered by the STAT team. The proposal always identifies who will lead the session.

Can we combine different formats?

Yes. A talk can be combined with board breaking or team exercises. The design, duration and group size are adapted to the objectives and venue.

Where can experiences take place?

At company premises, an event venue or a STAT academy, depending on the format and its requirements. Space, accessibility and logistics are confirmed in the proposal.

How is the investment determined?

A tailored proposal reflects the programme, participant count, duration, instructor team and logistics. Durations shown on this site are indicative.
