Il 29 novembre 2019, Ilaria Capua virologa di fama internazionale, ha partecipato al Kick off del nuovo modello di Corporate Education di Beyond International: Future Trends & Inspirational Mentorship in quanto ispiratrice del modello. Coinvolta infatti da Luisa Bagnoli, CEO di Beyond International, non solo come esperta e specialista di un “settore in verticale” ma per lo sguardo circolare che la contraddistingue, capace di portare quella contaminazione necessaria quando si affronta il “futuro del lavoro”.

Il tema specifico affrontato il 29 novembre era però quello della «salute circolare» e dell’impatto che questa ha sul futuro di tutte le organizzazioni.

Nel suo libro “Salute Circolare” , Capua parla di salute osservandola da una prospettiva sicuramente più olistica rispetto al sentire comune. Con uno sguardo al pensiero greco-romano e ai grandi innovatori scientifici spesso inconsapevoli delle rivoluzioni che avrebbero attivato, promuove un concetto di salute integrato a tutti gli esseri viventi. È un indicatore del buon funzionamento degli equilibri tra i vari sistemi esistenti sulla Terra che, in un modo o nell’altro, influenzano la salute dell’essere umano. Tutto fa parte di un grande sistema, non si può preoccuparsi solamente di una specie, quella umana perché anch’essa è natura.

Per questo motivo diventa fondamentale affrontare il tema dell’innovazione responsabile.Nel suo libro, Capua suggerisce di fare leva sulle opportunità oggi a disposizione che potrebbero permettere la sopravvivenza della specie: un esempio sono i big data e l’intelligenza artificiale, che possono rivoluzionare davvero il nostro modo di intendere la salute. Senza dimenticare un tema di consapevolezza e responsabilità.

On the 29^th of November 2019, the internationally renowned virologist, Ilaria Capua, participated in the kickoff of the new Beyond International’s Corporate Education model, the Future Trends & Inspirational Mentorship, as the inspirer of the model. She was, in fact,  involved by the CEO of Beyond International, Luisa Bagnoli, not only as an expert and specialist in a “vertical sector” but especially for the circular look that distinguishes her, capable of bringing that necessary contamination when talking about the “future of work”.

However, the specific theme addressed on the 29^th of November was the one of “circular health” and the impact it has on the future of all organizations.

In her book “Salute Circolare”, Capua talks about health by observing it from a more holistic perspective than the common idea. With a look at the Greek and Roman thought and the great scientific innovators, often unaware of the revolution they would have activated, she promotes an integrated health concept for all living beings. It is an indicator of the proper functioning of the balance among the various systems existing on Earth which, in one way or another, also affect the health of the human being. Everything is part of a great system, one cannot worry only about one species, the human one, because it too is nature.

For this reason, it becomes crucial to address the issue of responsible innovation. In her book, Capua suggests taking advantage of all the opportunities available today that could allow the survival of the species: great examples are big data and artificial intelligence, which can truly revolutionize our way of understanding health. Without forgetting a theme of awareness and responsibility.

Erika Rosenberg will be our next speaker at the Future Trends & Inspirational Mentorship

The next event of the Future Trends & Inspirational Mentorship scheduled for the 20th of May will see the participation of the greatest expert of facial micro-expressions in the world.

Erika Rosemberg begins to study the relationship between behavior and physiology first in the field of neuroscience then in Health Psychology at the University of California. Here she meets Paul Ekman, author of the neuro-cultural theory of emotions, becoming then his scholar. With Ekman, in addition to shared research on the subject, she writes the manual What the face reveals, a text that collects the main and most important researches of the Facial Action Coding System. The so-called FACS is today the most famous and reliable method for reading facial expressions; a coding system that has established itself in the scientific field as the most effective and complete tool for the study of facial expressions. Widespread in the scientific community and used in the FBI training programs and other security-related services, the coding system is today the object of research of several different disciplines and various publications.

Currently Erika Rosenberg, besides holding seminars all over the world, is also a professor at the Center for Compassion & Altruism Research at Stanford and a meditation teacher at the University of Berkeley, thus dealing with the connections between science and meditation, both as an expert in coding facial expressions and both as a scientist who studies emotions.

Her charismatic presence and expertise have also inspired the creation of the character “Gillian Foster” (Kelli Williams), co-protagonist together with “Cal Lightman” (Tim Roth) of the famous TV show “Lie to Me” (2009).

Connected to our offices via Robotic Presence from California, Rosenberg will lead us in the understanding of how feelings are revealed in our facial expressions and how social factors can influence our emotional signals. During the mentorship, we will analyze current and future applications of the facial analysis, applications also linked to new technologies: from human resources to negotiation, from the doctor-patient relationship, to education, up to cinema and media.

Its name, Net Leadership, could suggest that is the usual American theory…After all, the most popular theories are always American.

“Net” is in English, yes, because English is the universal language, the language that everyone knows, so it is reasonable to use it if you want to be understood by as many people as possible and also be nourished by their own contributions. However, Net Leadership is unquestionably a Mediterranean paradigm that was also born not to be American, but to be Mediterranean.

Who among us in Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Germany, for example, has never found themselves following models that knew that weren’t suitable for our context and our mentality? Or with a language that opens mental maps different from those that you wanted to pursue with that theory?

Let’s think about an example above all: the famous FUN.

Almost an imperative concept that sees, on the one hand, ranks of fanatics with a huge smile and, on the other hand, managers who, at the mere idea that someone can have fun at work, have a heart attack.

Why does it happen? Because if you say Fun, “Have Fun”, in people minds an ambiguous translation opens up, with a meaning between fun and “pleasure” which has a sound that I think is self-explanatory.

Meanwhile, our words of Greek and Latin derivation, have archetypes within them with the right energy.

Fun, in fact, derives from “de-di/vertere” therefore the idea of ​​turning the glass, looking beyond; it’s that action that allows you to face the problem from a level of consciousness and from a thought that is different from the one that created it: Einstein docet.

He was a hard worker as well as genius of course; but what if this was less obvious? If the genius as well as his neurons had derived from this “approach” to science and life itself?

So this is a Mediterranean leadership, creative, light and profound.

Do you want another example?

What do we say we can’t do without? Critical Thinking, right? But words matter, language matters. Have you noticed that saying “pensiero critico” in Italian seems to have a different meaning? That’s because the real way of thinking critically is only called Critical Thinking!

In addition to the philosophers that I almost don’t want to mention for the ease in doing so, Socrates above all, what can we say about our German psychologists? Have they not deeply employed critical thinking to create a beautiful new discipline halfway between art and science? Or maybe real science like physics, if we consider it as it should be be, we should question it every day with … spirit and critical thinking. Exactly.

The Net Leadership leads you from a linear approach to a spatial one, and from an only American format to a Mediterranean format, just like Americans know that they will have to do as well, “drink from the Mediterranean”.

The world is circular: now we have to give out again our bright contribution.

We are all connected in a circle…

This concept, confirmed by spiritual theories and now demonstrated by quantum physics, has been experienced by even the most skeptical in this 2020 pandemic that has made us embrace the “all glocal” concept, when it was now thought that we had already returned to the local.

Yes, because theories very often go out of fashion or are no longer updated with the changes that take place.

But while “outside” everything changes exponentially in every industry, thanks to technologies and digital, people’s mindsets do not update so quickly. But we need to evolve today and quickly. The new technologies that run so fast will soon need a human being who knows himself (as Socrates would say) and who is not afraid to expose himself to transparency, which is the value that technology will spread exponentially: “Transparency is the new Currency “(Kurt).

In fact, if we think about it, we have produced innovations of all kinds in the last 50 years but the way of thinking about which job to choose, and then how to do it, how to act it, how to behave in the company, among colleagues, between collaborators and bosses, is almost unchanged.

The development of the Net Leadership concept fits into this context because it wants to contribute exactly to the question that inevitably arises today:

“How can I feel good in this changing world, and then to be satisfied, to express myself in the best way, when the tools that I have in my backpack and that they taught me seem to no longer to be valuable?”

Net Leadership is: a new paradigm of fluid and dematerialized leadership, understood as the ability to establish connections. It’s about recognizing and accepting my Unique Talent as the first paradigm, then to act it in my own space and connect with others in a network.
