Magical Insights
1️⃣ Creating Micro Scenarios: These types of scenarios serve as controlled environments where professionals can enhance their skills, improve their communication, and better manage challenging interactions.
2️⃣ Effective Coaching: When talking about developing a talent’s soft skills, 1-on-1 coaching is absolutely necessary due to the customizable aspect of the practice, as there’s the possibility to tailor the coaching to the specific needs of each talent.
3️⃣ Approaching Things with Childlike Wonder: As adult learners we often get frustrated, don't have enough time, get fed up, label something as too hard, consider we're stupid, or think that we're too old or that we're too young to actually learn something effectively.
4️⃣ AI-Powered Avatars: These avatars are revolutionizing 1-on-1 coaching by enhancing personalization, engagement, and scalability in the learning process. AI avatars can tailor coaching sessions to individual learning styles and preferences, while also providing customized feedback and adapting their teaching methods accordingly based on the information received and processed.

His ability to learn things quickly, look for new ways to figure out things, and wonder if something is or isn’t possible. Overall, a very active curiosity that has helped him in his career and to build Virtti and Shiken
