Portuguese term

me sinta em um ambiente mais leve

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Survey responses
'Lighter' doesn't work in English, IMO. Any other ideas?

Motivadora, animada e com espirito inovador. Isso faz com que **me sinta em um ambiente mais leve**. Sempre me desafiada a expor mais meus pensamentos e o feedback é constante. Me sinto tranquila em traçar meus objetivos e buscar mais desenvolvimento pois tenho uma liderança que confio.

To me the atmosphere feels more easy-going (less oppressive)

Or

THE ENVIRONMENT/ATMOSPHERE is more easy-going (or less oppressive) TO ME.

(I.e. you can reverse the phrase order depending on emphasis preferred, and you can replace "atmosphere" with "environemnt" too if you lik).

English usage often uses a "negative + antonym" to add emphasis to an idea, (with oppressive being an antonym for "easy-going"). For example:

"But many teachers are finding that there is no other option but to search for a LESS OPPRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT in which to work."

Example sentence:

"I think the working atmosphere is more EASY-GOING. "

soothing ambience

Ambiente mais leve é um idiom. Nesse caso a palavra ambiente está mais voltada para o sentido subjetivo da palavra, portanto "ambience" seria mais apropriado.
