Without well-being there is no real victory

/in , , , , /by

There are many elite athletes who have shared and made visible their own situations and mental health problems in the face of the demands of a sport that puts 100% of their physical and emotional capabilities. 

“I never would have thought I would get mentally ill from a sport I loved so much.”

Te Kura Ngata-Aerengamate, New Zealand rugby player.

“For me at the time, the expectations were much higher than the level I was at at the time. The pressure got the better of me, the anxiety overcame me.”

Paula Badosa, tennis player number 8 in the world ranking.

“I continue to go to therapy because I need to fix myself. Eventually, life teaches you that depression and mental illness can affect anyone.”

Andrés Iniesta , Spanish soccer player, World Champion 2010.

“I could put on a happy face in public, but behind the doors, I was having crises that no one knew about.”

Michel Phelps, Olympic swimmer.

Sport as a daily exercise practice is undoubtedly one of the best allies of mental health, however, taken to extreme levels – and without adequate socio-emotional development -, it can become the biggest rival of mental health.

When you end up straining the muscle without training it and training it breaks down, so does the psyche.

Essential training: mental health

The importance of mental health is one of the most current issues of our generation. And it is no less so in a context in which we live in a continuous level of high demand; where stress, pressure, concentration and expectations are the daily bread.

Athletes internalize from the first training session that they must work hard to arrive, to win, to reach the goal, the record. At the same time, it is important to differentiate virtues such as perseverance, hard work, resilience and self-improvement from other types of utopian demands, toxic thoughts and vitiated attitudes that endanger mental and emotional health, and therefore sporting performance itself.

Sports mental health is not simply having high emotional resilience in the face of stressful situations. It is a holistic approach: tools, inner mechanisms and mental, social and emotional habits capable of balancing the different dimensions of the person; allowing to perform better in competition and above all generating an integral well-being.

The most widespread problems

“We hear a lot about post-Olympic depression, but I haven’t seen any research on mental health before the Olympics,” comments Zoe Poucher in her research exploring the prevalence of symptoms of common mental disorders among elite Canadian athletes in the wake of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles’ mental health retirement.

According to this study conducted at the University of Toronto, depression, anxiety and eating disorder are the most widespread problems in athletes, with depression being the most significant.

With situations such as depression, it becomes essential to give the necessary importance and space to these mental health issues in the sports career, from training, competitions to the athlete’s retirement.

Facing these types of realities does not by itself enable one to know how to manage them.

Young people cared for, successful athlete

Why not work on and develop prevention and training programs? Do we have to reach the limits of performance to become aware that emotional management and mental health are essential? Why not work with the youth, the children who are just starting to train, the sports clubs?

Working and taking care of the psychic and emotional dimension from the beginning: self-knowledge, mental strategies, concentration mechanisms, stress management, self-esteem, empathy, mutual support, etc. will ensure that in the long term young athletes will be able to reach the highest level in a healthy way, enjoying themselves and without breaking down psychologically.

No sporting success can compensate for the enormous sacrifice of one’s own well-being and personal happiness.

AI and Emotional Education – SIMO EDUCATION

/in , , , , , , /by

Under the slogan “Education in the age of Artificial Intelligence: exploring new frontiers” SIMO EDUCACIÓN – the International Exhibition of Educational Technology and Innovation – brought together in November the leading brands in technology and cutting-edge digital content, publishing groups, technology distributors, and educational content and management platforms.

This technological and educational event – organized by IFEMA MADRID and with the collaboration of Educación 3.0 – presented to the teaching community the progress of teaching and learning processes, school management and education and training, with a wide range of content aimed at all stages of education. This last edition was attended by 125 companies from 11 countries and was visited by around 10,000 professionals.

FOUR PILLARS 

A presentation that shows the current and future trends in which technology, innovation and pedagogy play an essential role, both in the teaching activity and in the progress towards quality education, fostering creativity, motivation and emotional well-being of students, as well as market opportunities and innovation in the sector.

All of this is aligned with the UNESCO 2021 report, which refers to the transformative capacity of technology and innovation in education systems and the need for the commitment of all stakeholders, including governments, educators, learners, civil society and the private sector.

In this context, SIMO EDUCATION 2023 has focused on four pillars:

  1. Technology and innovation for the classroom and learning, attending to its value for the classroom and the improvement of student performance;
  2. The potential and weight that eSports are gaining in the education sector as a tool to motivate students and improve their skills;
  3. Mental health-emotional education, aligned with the World Health Organization;
  4. and Dual Vocational Training, which has proven to be effective in preparing young people for the workplace.

In a transversal way, the aim was to make visible the applied artificial intelligence, a technology that is transforming education and that allows to personalize learning according to the needs of each student.

AI and Emotional Education

Socioemotional competencies are fundamental in the personal and professional development of students and, although scientific evidence and international organizations such as the OECD and the EU emphasize their importance, assessing them has always been a challenge for teachers.

In this context Human AI enters SIMO EDUCATION as one of the eight technological innovation startups presented in the space SHOW UP! An area dedicated to give visibility to entrepreneurs with new technological proposals for the education sector.

Human AI is a technology and innovation tool at the service of emotional education, a solution that combines AI and psycholinguistics capable of evaluating, assessing and developing the personality and socioemotional competences of students from written texts offering objective, immediate and reliable personalized reports.

The Human AI team was in one of the booths of the SHOW UP! space showing how technology at the service of education can help to personalize and develop the socioemotional education of students.

How to evaluate and enhance the entrepreneurial profile

/in , , , , , /by

Entrepreneurship is a long-distance race: it requires a great deal of passion, effort and commitment. There is also a critical success factor in the whole process: the well-being and emotional state of the entrepreneur. Is it possible to evaluate and enhance the entrepreneurial profile?

Emotionally balanced entrepreneurs are better able to make good decisions, manage stress, anxiety and be able to build solid relationships. The emotional well-being of entrepreneurs is a fundamental ingredient for the success of the company, the team and the entrepreneur himself. Entrepreneurship is not only a matter of economic growth, it is a matter of personal transformation.

Are entrepreneurs born or made?

In the discussion about whether leaders or entrepreneurs are born or made, there is a clear question: there is a combination of genetic and social factors at play. There is a part of the personality that is influenced by genetic factors, but there is also a part that can be developed through experience, learning and the development of competencies in relation to the entrepreneurial profile.

As pointed out by Javier García Manzanedo, an expert in the psychology of entrepreneurship: “Entrepreneurs are made, without a doubt. There is a genetic part and a social part. If the person has seen entrepreneurship in his or her environment, he or she tends to… but you learn, you learn to be an entrepreneur”. As research shows, personality plays a key role in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Athletes of a marathon, athletes of their own business

Entrepreneurship is a challenging activity, with a high level of commitment, stress, investment in time, dedication, effort, money… the price of being an elite athlete is comparable to the price of founding and running a new company.

Entrepreneurs face a wide range of challenges, from financial uncertainty, negotiation with investors to possible rejection by customers. Economic challenges are in turn accompanied by their own life and personal challenges – from mental and emotional balance; challenges as important, if not more so, as formulating a business plan or obtaining financing. What is at stake is not only money, it is the person.

It is essential to look at the complex emotional functioning of entrepreneurs and to be able to provide them with the necessary tools to create healthier contexts, both financially and emotionally. Two factors, in fact, inseparable.

Relevance of the human factor

Defining a business plan, assessing its viability, creating a market niche, managing marketing, financing and investment strategies… all these technical skills are essential for entrepreneurship. At the same time, socioemotional skills (SES) play a vital role in achieving success, a success achieved from personal and business satisfaction, that is, learning to leave your skin in the game, without leaving anyone behind.e

There is a high percentage of startups that fail due to the human factor, hence the profile of an entrepreneurial person must have tolerance to stress, risk, have autonomy in decision-making, be self-sufficient, at the same time know how to listen, know how to advise, learn to locate success or failure in the decisions taken and not in luck, etc.

But is it possible to evaluate, measure and even enhance the psychological characteristics that define an entrepreneurial profile? Because if we are able to evaluate and measure the personality of the entrepreneur we will be able to predict possible future failures or successes, we will be able to develop the psychological areas likely to become obstacles, we will be able to enhance the talents and strengthen skills, create a growth plan, support and training focused on their entrepreneurial profile. In short, we will be able to predict and optimize the success or failure of the project, because by empowering the person, we optimize the company. By fostering a “healthy mens” we will guarantee a prosperous business.

Evaluation of the entrepreneurial profile. Psychology of entrepreneurship.

From Human AI – making available the technology of artificial intelligence and the knowledge of psycholinguistics – we prepared a report with the most impactful competencies for the entrepreneurial profile: open-mindedness, intellectual curiosity, cooperation, boldness, self-confidence, assertiveness or cordiality, among others.

The report is based on two sources. On the one hand, a scientific evidence research has been carried out to evaluate the impact of socioemotional competencies (SES) on the entrepreneurial personality based on the OCEAN personality model. On the other hand, the assessment of the competencies is collected through a survey of 40 experts with experience in the world of entrepreneurship – entrepreneurs, businessmen, consultants, investors and academics – in which, based on their knowledge and experience, they have ranked them in order of importance for a person to develop an entrepreneurial profile. From both sources – scientific evidence and experts – they have established the groupings of competencies in order of importance: critical, relevant or necessary competencies. 

Thus, an ideal entrepreneurial profile will score high or very high (in green) all those belonging to the “OCEA”, i.e. the big four: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness . On the other hand, those related to emotional dysregulation (Neuroticism), as they are inverse, will score low or very low.

The psychology of entrepreneurship allows, therefore, to evaluate the capacity for entrepreneurship, to demonstrate statistically and mathematically the entrepreneurial profile, to be able to access a report with an evaluation of those competencies that influence and impact on the entrepreneurial attitude of a person, and to be able to make decisions based on these evaluations. In short, to be able to work on the strategic business approach based on the socioemotional knowledge of the entrepreneur, in order to know how to guide him/her and how to empower him/her humanly.

“Words convince, example drags”

/in , , , , /by

With the slogan “Asociación Innovactoras“, its founder and president Maria Beunza Mijimolle, CEO of HumanAI Tech, took part in the first panel of the International Forum on “Women and Sustainability” hosted by the Universidad de La Sabana, an event whose objective is to make visible the role of Latin American women in social and environmental innovation, as well as their leadership at the scientific level in these fields.

Together with the other panelists – Diana Patricia Arenas Blanco, Rudy Salazar and Carina Soledad Gonzalez González – ideas, reflections, experiences and projects on the impact of women from the perspective of social innovation were brought to the table.

Women with impact in social innovation

Maria wanted to bring more than words, examples – one from each country where REDWINN is present – because for social innovation to be real, it has to have an impact on life and not just rhetoric.

“There are many women doing things, but they are not known. We have to start using references and people who inspire us in our reality today, in our context, in our way of living innovation,” said Maria.

Among the many examples of the Innovactoras network – Anana Muyu and AUGE Acceleradora in Ecuador, “Paz para Mambrú” in Colombia, Alwa Group in Peru, Dux Academy in Bolivia – “I cannot fail to mention our HumanAI Tech innovation laboratory – with which we work with educational centers, universities and different entities – so that artificial intelligence allows us to know and develop emotional competencies. This is linked to innovation and entrepreneurship, because in fact, we investigate and obtain very interesting data on the potential differences between men and women, when we link personality, innovation and entrepreneurship”.

In addition, Maria reflected how “global competition makes us all have a more integrating, more diverse, more international vision, beyond the mere male-female complementarity; and this is something that I think women should push for, this vision of diversity, of complementarity, beyond gender, far beyond, that is, also by generations”. “Hopefully we can work on joint projects, not only in research, not only in good practices, but also in application; and this is no longer a question of justice with respect to women, it is a question of the future, we have to invest in a future in which we are all there and which makes sense for everyone.”

TutorIA: Innovation in Evaluation and SES Development

/in , , , , , , /by

The project “TutorIA for the evaluation and development of SES” has been selected as one of the thirty most innovative projects in the VII edition of the convocation of Dualiza Grants from CaixaBank Dualiza and FPEmpresa.

This project – led by several vocational Training Centers of the Aspasia Group – aims to use the artificial intelligence tool Human AI to create a system that evaluates and develops socioemotional skills to promote personal development and improve the employability of its students.

Five entities will participate in this initiative: Alcazarén School of Professionals and TEMAT of Valladolid; European School of Oviedo; Institute for Qualifications of Cantabria and the Virgen del Buen Suceso Center of León.

Synergies between FPs and Companies

Close collaboration between vocational training centers and companies is essential, according to Luis García Domínguez, president of FPEmpresa. This synergy makes it possible to achieve the levels of excellence required for the labor market, thus strengthening the direct relationship between VET and the business fabric.

These initiatives will be carried out hand in hand with a company or collaborative entity; and it will be the students who will be in charge of developing them to improve their learning. In this way, companies are encouraged to actively participate in the training process of students, through the development and implementation of projects that contribute to improve their learning, providing them with new skills while adapting their profile to the needs of the labor market.

Of the total number of centers and projects selected in the Call, 21 have been chosen to promote ideas on their own, while the rest will collaborate to carry out network projects, developed and implemented by centers from different provinces and even from different autonomous communities, such as TutorIA.

“When selecting these 30 projects, the evaluation committee has taken into account that they should be innovative, encourage co-participation between centers, have a social impact, diversify the participating agents, establish coordination and communication mechanisms, contemplate sustainability to provide long-term results, be transferable, facilitate the communication of the achievements and seek to impact the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals,” says the Dualiza Grants Resolution.

HUMAN AI at the service of Vocational Training and Employability

The collaborating company to carry out the “TutorIA for SES assessment and development” project with FPAspasia centers will be Human AI Tech. The Human AI artificial intelligence tool offers immediate personality and social-emotional competence (SES) assessments by simply entering a natural language text of the person to be assessed. It also supports voice notes, which the tool automatically transcribes. This avoids self-perception bias and the investment of effort and time in traditional questionnaires.

The personality assessments provide the five traits of the OCEAN model and their facets in individual, immediate, accurate, user-friendly and easy-to-use reports. These reports will be used by project managers to achieve the desired competency improvement objectives.

This project will enable teachers to obtain individualized reports of their students’ competencies, providing them with tools and documentation to improve the competencies of current and future students. The students, as well, will obtain accreditation of their competencies, and the internship companies will receive detailed reports on the SES competencies of the interns, along with guidelines to help improve them.

Thanks to the use of Human AI, different soft skills will be evaluated and accredited, helping each student to enhance the skills and competencies necessary for their future job search and job placement.

Talent selection based on competencies

/in , , /by

In today’s dynamic work scenario, the acquisition and development of specific competencies has taken on unprecedented relevance. The premise that skills and aptitudes surpass academic qualifications is an unquestionable reality in today’s business world. For those in the Human Resources field, it is essential to understand the competencies most in demand by the different professional profiles, in order to guide candidates towards sustainable job success.w

The rise of the competency profile

The concept of competency profiling has become essential in the identification and evaluation of talent in selection processes. This approach goes beyond mere technical skills, delving into the behaviors and capabilities that are key to success in a specific job position. It is a description that anticipates how an individual can contribute to the achievement of organizational objectives from his or her position.

At the heart of competency-based selection is customization. Each company, with its unique corporate culture and specific goals, is looking for candidates who not only possess technical skills, but also fit with the organization’s environment and values. This is where the role of HR professionals becomes crucial, identifying the specific needs of each position to find the most suitable talent.

Selection of talent by competencies

What do recruiters want to see in a job interview? Ask Eva Porto Soto to, specialist in the work environment at Top Voices Employment 2023 – LinkedIn News-Spain Employment Objective.

“They will want to see your motivation and evaluate if you have the soft skills or soft competencies needed to perform that position successfully. Among the most in-demand are teamwork, communication skills, commitment, emotional intelligence, adaptability and problem-solving. And how do you demonstrate that you have them? Establish which ones are relevant to your position and then identify anecdotes or past experiences where you have put them into practice,” says the psychologist specializing in Human Resources.

The development and assessment of personal and social skills is gaining more and more relevance in selection processes. It is vital to understand – in order to effectively advise those seeking to enhance their professional profile – the most in-demand competencies in today’s job market.

Competency-based employment profiling: A Guide for HR Professionals

Selection by competencies involves a personalized process, in which the needs of the company’s job position are identified in order to find the human talent best prepared to perform it successfully. Each company has its own corporate culture and objectives, but there are professional competencies – specific, transversal and personal – appropriate to each professional profile.

El Observatorio de las Ocupaciones del SEPE – Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal SEPE co de Empleo Estatal en España – estudia cada cierto tiempo los perfiles profesionales de la oferta de empleo a partir de las actividades económicas y ocupaciones con mejor comportamiento en el empleo y con mejores perspectivas de en el mercado de trabajo. 

The Observatory of Occupations of the SEPE – Service Public Employment State SEPE co of State Employment in Spain – periodically studies the professional profiles of the job offer according to the economic activities and occupations with the best performance in employment and with the best prospects in the labor market.

For each of the professional profiles, a characterization of the job offer is made, including the working conditions proposed by employers and the specific competencies, skills and personal competencies required of the candidates, in addition to the training and experience required. It also includes the main labor indicators of the professional group of the profile, in order to contextualize it in the labor market, analyzing its behavior, evolution, market entry and exit mechanisms, mobility, etc. Finally, the occupations analyzed in the profiles, the functions they perform and some aspects of their training are included.

Technology at the service of competencies

In the current technological and digital paradigm, reflection arises on the possibility of assessing the skills in demand through the use of the technology at our disposal. Personalization in the identification of key professional competencies could greatly benefit from tools that facilitate data collection and analysis, thus contributing to a more efficient and accurate process in the selection of talent.

The convergence between the personalization of competency-based selection and the potential of technology facilitates this process, opening up a promising horizon. The ability to assess competencies more efficiently, accurately and reliably with technological tools could represent a significant advance in the search and selection of talent, opening up new possibilities for a more effective integration of people in the current labor context.

Unicorns and mythology in HR: demystifying AI

/in , , , /by

Is artificial intelligence (AI) going to advance as fast as it is thought, or will it take time to become part of the business fabric and its practical application in HR?

This and several other questions were addressed in the webinar “Unicorns and mythology: demystifying AI” with the panelists: María Beunza, CEO at HumanAI Tech, Diego Montenegro, CEO of Hemisferios University, Alex Uriarte, Director of People and Culture at IED and the moderator and organizer of the session, Álvaro Galán Ocampo Senior, Product Marketing Manager at Sage, a company focused on providing technology solutions for companies and facilitating professional life in accounting, billing and human resources tasks.

AI in HR: great enthusiasm, little application 

Despite the great enthusiasm surrounding AI, its breakthrough into the business fabric remains limited, according to Álvaro. He highlighted data that illustrate this gap between the high investment in AI research and development and its current limited practical application in organizations. According to data presented, by 2023, investment in artificial intelligence reached $92 billion, yet only 5% of HR leaders reported having AI solutions implemented, while 60% engage in discussions about the possibilities of AI in their companies. This disparity raises the question: will AI advance as fast as predicted?

Diego highlighted another gap: that between the rapid evolution of human intelligence simulation and our linear cognitive growth. “One of the biggest challenges is to understand how we are going to incorporate AI in HR, what scope it is going to have and how it is going to benefit the person, who should be at the center,” said Montenegro.

Experts noted that while AI has been the subject of growing interest, its true scope has only just begun to be glimpsed. In 2023, “the veil has been lifted, and there is now a lot of interest in AI. But AI has been in the works for many years, there’s a lot of investment behind it, and we’ve started to see just the beginning of a scope that’s going to change the whole paradigm in people management,” Alex noted. “Generative AI has made some people think that AI is magic but no, it’s science, it’s technology and there are practical applications,” says Maria, CEO of Human AI Tech.

Strategic importance: people and technology

The fusion of technology with organizational culture and purpose is fundamental to take advantage of the strategic impact of AI, so “beyond the enthusiasm, what is the strategic importance of the application of AI in organizations? Where does it fit in terms of the culture and purpose of organizations? Does it have utility? What impact can it have on issues of leadership, creativity…?”, Ocaña said.

The first paradigm in technology organizations, according to the Manager of the University of the Hemispheres, is to continue to have a people-centric culture. He argues that people are not simply an area within organizations, but constitute the essence of their culture. In this sense, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies must be integrated into the organizational culture, which must always have people at its core. This approach therefore implies a change of mindset: technology and AI are not merely activities or areas within an organization, but cross-cutting elements that drive and affect the entire organization and all the people within it. Leaders promote a purpose, and the organization’s DNA must be imbued with ethics, values, social responsibility, and now also the adoption of technologies, innovation and creativity.

Alex Uriarte emphasizes that the adoption of technologies must have a positive impact, contributing to the progress of the organization and people. He proposes that we should be “technology drivers”, incorporating it as an integral part of our processes. He talks about learning, change management, culture and people, and argues that these should be our business and should be on the agenda of all organizations.

Collaboration or substitution?

On the question of collaboration or replacement, several questions were raised: will technology replace us, how do we partner with AI, will we be able to make use of collaboration with technology to help us go further together?

It’s a fact, technological advancement is ever accelerating. “There are many techno-skeptics in organizations,” says Diego, “we also have those who want to learn and there are those who have already incorporated this technology. Technology can be the glue that can unite in a network the different departments, areas and watertight compartments that we sometimes have in organizations. There will be tasks that can be replaceable, but human creativity plus the creativity of machines – in quotation marks – will generate super-creativity”.

Maria added that resistance to change has always existed and that fear of substitution is human. However, “as we learn more, we eliminate fear, because fear paralyzes. That is why it is necessary to inform, train and demonstrate. It is important to ask questions, to cultivate our critical spirit in order to know how to supervise. Knowledge and judgment will continue to make a difference, and these technological tools will make us better and will suggest many new approaches. AI will make mistakes, in fact, it makes them, that’s why the role of the human as a supervisor and, in a way, responsible for everything that happens is necessary.”

It is crucial to understand where AI can be a great partner in building a better model and better welfare for people.

HUMAN AI Tech’s technology

In your work at Human AI – says Álvaro – in relation to companies that acquire or are considering acquiring your artificial intelligence, how do you perceive the response when you present them the capabilities provided by your AI?

“We offer services that are possible thanks to technology, technology is an instrument to generate value. When people understand an application and in our case that it helps them decide better, they gain a lot of time, that allows them to make decisions and do analysis with predictions even but also adapt and personalize… when they see the value it brings them and they see the time savings it brings in terms of efficiency, they see it positively. Then the esoteric magic part – “this gets it right!” – as they say, they’re surprised and they’re reassured.”
