Bobby shares valuable insights into the importance of collaboration with general education teachers and the use of innovative programs like Mursion to help students gain confidence and practical experience. She also provides tips for working with paraprofessionals, emphasizing the need for open communication and advocacy for all students.

Mark Atkinson's purpose is to make work a source of dignity and self actualization. He's pursued that goal in a wide variety of roles and sectors, now as an entrepreneur and CEO of Mursion, Inc., a VR training platform for professionals to practice and master workplace skills. He's frustrated that we use creature comforts to entrap people in functions that don't elevate them to their full potential. We discussed how supported skill-building, stretch assignments, and rigorous measurement of progress can make work a source of dignity.

How do you develop these essential PowerSkills in business? As I describe in this podcast, there are four methods: traditional instructor-led training, 360-degree assessment and coaching, simulation and real-world experiences, and suggestions and nudges. Mark Atkinson, the CEO of Mursion, a fast-growing provider of Avatar-based simulation training, interviewed me on this topic and we talked about a lot. This is a long podcast but it describes PowerSkills, discusses why experiential learning and practices is important, reviews the Ebbinghouse Forgetting Curve, and discusses the role of the Metaverse in leadership development. It’s a far-reaching conversation and I hope it helps you think through your own PowerSkills (SoftSkills), parenting, how the military teaches important skills, and the role of the Metaverse in leadership development strategies. We also had a long conversation about the need to protect data as we move to more virtual experiences.

Facebook’s rebrand to Meta is even bigger than you think. Here are my perspectives on this deal, along with some discussion about Nextdoor, DAOs, STRIVR, Mursion, and why I think Facebook is missing a big opportunity. This is a risky move for the company, and it may take them away from the biggest opportunity they have – fixing the existing business we all know. Interesting Resources The Metaverse Is Mark Zuckerberg’s Escape Hatch (my general thinking) What The Metaverse Could Be (A positive view from VR fans) Meta the Name (good business perspective) Definitions of Meta Making or showing awareness of reference to oneself or to the activity that is taking place, especially in an ironic or comic way. One definition of this Greek word is transcending or going above and beyond. In the computer field, it defines things that embrace more than usual. For example, a metafile contains all types of data. Meta-data describes other data. See metafile, metadata, and meta tag. Going beyond or higher, transcending. Metalinguistics, metacriticism.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Sara Bokhari, Head of People & Culture at Mursion.  Within her role, Sara champions Mursion's culture and leads efforts in finding, developing, motivating, and retaining Mursion's talented workforce.About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.To learn more about AllVoices visit us at www.allvoices.co!

Today's interview is with Jeff Nicholson, Global Leader, CRM Strategy for Pega, where he heads up the company's CRM market strategy and vision worldwide. Jeff joins me today to talk about their recently released new piece of research: Resolution revolution: Customer service insights report, what we can learn from it, what we should be focusing on, agent experience, the emerging landscape of customer service and sine waves! This interview follows on from my recent interview – What do immersive VR, empathetic interactions and stand out customer service have in common? – Interview with Monika Jo of Mursion — and is number 401 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

Today's interview is with Monika Jo, Director Of Communications at Mursion, a virtual reality platform for professionals to practice and master the complex interpersonal skills necessary to be effective in their roles. This blend of technology and human performance creates a highly realistic training environment that mimics the real-world challenges employees face every day. Monika joins me today to talk about the report that they recently published (The Human Edge in an AI World), what we can learn from it, the importance of EQ, building an empathetic musculature and what Mursion do to try help organisations and individuals get better at being more empathetic in their interactions with customers. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Pink Goldfish, standing out, portmanteaus and wabi-sabi – Interview with Stan Phelps and Dave Rendall — and is number 400 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

This week Kevin Hogan and the EdTech Today show went on the road to the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego. Hogan used the opportunity to sit down with the biggest leaders in EdTech to discuss what they have learned from the successes and failures of remote learning and more importantly the lessons we can take away to improve the technology instead of backing away from it as we exit the pandemic.The CEO of Mursion, Mark Atkinson, sits down with Hogan to discuss how the company is imagining a new era in which all people have equal access to the future.Mursion has been recognized at the summit as being a transformative figure in taking AR and VR into the work place and set a new standard for job training.

On today's show, we have Mark Atkinson here from Mursion. We have a topic that I've been wanting to talk about for a long time, the unintended impact of remote work on critical communication. Intended, unintended, foreseen and unforeseen.We talk about how Mursion helps teach people how to have difficult conversations through simulation. Or, as Mark calls it, "to sort of get the jiggles out of those really challenging conversations that we often get wrong because emotion gets in front of our brain."

Covid-19 has disrupted traditional modes of safe practice, but the advances in virtual reality and simulations are making it possible to provide memorable and impactful learning through practice. In this episode, Carrie Straub, Executive Director: Educational Programs and Research at Mursion, joins the Learning Geeks to discuss the advances in immersive, virtual practice. With Carrie's immense experience on helping others authentically practice interpersonal skills, she shares why it's important to create psychologically safe environments, how AI could play a role in the future, and why authentic, safe practice is essential for today's most important issues (e.g. racial inequalities, unconscious bias).CONNECT WITH USIf you have any feedback or want to join in on the conversation, connect with us via LinkedIN, Twitter (@bobbyhollywood), or email our show at learninggeekspod@gmail.com.
