At the age of six, I wanted to be a pirate. How little did I know that I would meet real pirates in my professional life? Meet Ursula Dockerty, Emergency Response Team Leader at Shell International Trading & Shipping Company Ltd, a Master Mariner passionate about the maritime industry. She is amazed by seafarers creativity and resilience. Without them, the rest of the society would have come to a standstill during the pandemic. Of course, we discuss the importance of role models. For example, Ursula just knew she wanted a career at sea and was very persistent about making that happen. But what about young people today? Do they see any of the career paths available to them? Do they watch movies or videos showing cool, inspiring people from the maritime industry?  We have a job to do. We need to show more of the maritime world to the general public and children in particular. Some of them might want to become emergency response leaders. Listen to the episode and give us a shoutout if you liked what you heard.

David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor at Shell International, provided his insights into changes in the oil and gas industry, international dimensions of climate change policy, and the prospects for emissions trading in the newest episode of “Environmental Insights: Discussions on Policy and Practice from the Harvard Environmental Economics Program,” a podcast produced by the Harvard Environmental Economics Program.

Canada has joined many other national and regional jurisdictions in declaring a climate emergency. Recent reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warn of increasingly deterioriating conditions across the globe in the face of unchecked global heating. While human generated emissions of CO2 and other greenhouses gases are accepted as the major cause, efforts to bend the emissions trajectory are still not sufficient. The world's economies must rapidly decarbonize over this decade to avoid lock-in to a future of climate extremes and damaging impacts to society. Canada will not be immune to the effects of global market de-stabilization, economic losses, climate migration, etc., and will witness gradual erosion of its economic basis. This is Alberta's challenge – how does the province transition away from an economy based heavily on hydrocarbon production without increasing social tensions and job losses? The fact is that action on the environment does not need to be set against a backdrop of job losses, but in order to achieve this we must visualize the full potential of a future economy, an economy that places greater emphasis on social factors, in which GDP is not the predominant measure of a society's success. Making the transition to a low carbon future cannot be denied or deferred and there is no longer time for half measures. Leadership must have the vision to invest in new technologies and re-training that builds on our legacy industries. In particular, Bruce will discuss how a hydrogen economy could be pivotal in shaping Alberta's trajectory of change. Speaker: Bruce Wilson Bruce is an engineer and a former GM of Shell, now an independent consultant on the energy transition including carbon capture and the hydrogen economy. He is a board member of non-profit ‘Iron + Earth'. Born and raised in Scotland, he trained as structural engineer, joining an oil company directly from university. Following an industry downturn he worked firstly in Africa before traveling to Canada where he met his wife, Terry Anne, in Calgary during the '88 Olympics. Over the next almost 30 years they have worked and lived around the world, the latter half of Bruce's career spent with Shell International. In much of this time, Bruce has supported environmental causes, exemplifying the dichotomy between caring for the environment and powering our society. Finally, dissatisfied with the too gradual pace of Shell's transition to renewable energies, Bruce parted with the company to take more direct action. He is an advocate for the vast potential of emerging low-carbon technologies that offer us the opportunity to thrive in this transition.

Ben Hawkes is an I/O psychologist who is a thought leader in area of game based pre-employment assessment tools. Ben is currently the co-Founder of BlackHawke Behavior Science and has served as the Selection Assessment Lead for Shell International since 2016. Ben’s background and experience make him a perfect resource for helping Dr. Handler answer the question, "Are game-based assessments the future of employment testing?"The short answer as revealed in this episode is: Don’t believe the hype!Game based assessments have a ton of value and are are PART of the future, but they have the same limitations as traditional assessments (if not more). Game based assessments will make a positive and essential contribution to the future of assessments because they will help us learn how to make assessments more lifelike and enjoyable. This episode touches on few key points to help educate and orient those interested in game based assessments1. Gamified assessments are not true games It is important to know what you are looking at. It is important to be careful not to believe the hype that a gamified assessment is really a game. Doing so is made harder because it is difficult to say exactly what is a game. Games have to meet certain requirements such as the presence of rules, an enjoyment factor, suspense, and control by the player. But there are grey areas around the true definition and it is common for things that have game like elements to be called games when they really aren’t.Gamified assessments- that is assessments with game like elements, are becoming increasingly common and are more likely to be an integral part of the future of assessment.Gamification has many advantages because they make assessments more enjoyable but allow them to maintain the characteristics of a good measurement tool. This is essential because when all the dressing is stripped away- assessments must be psychometrically sound measurement devices.Assessments that provide gamified elements such as: feedback, choices, dynamic user interfaces, and realistic environments definitely have a lot going for them. The upgraded user experience provided by gamification means we can expect to see an increase in their use. Just know they are not truly games and that gamification alone is not enough to make an assessment legit.2. Where does the risk lie?A good rule of thumb when looking at game based assessments is don’t buy based on the sizzle because the steak may taste like crap.For those shopping they first need to know that to be usable as an assessment a game must meet the minimum standards of being fair, reliable, and valid. Many tools may look like or be called an assessment but may not fit these minimum requirements. One type of game that is commonly mistaken for real assessment is the “attraction games”. These are branded experiences that allow the job seeker to interact with a job or organization. They are great for employment branding but typically are not designed to be measurement tools.Another type of game that must be approached with caution are “non-contextualized” games. These games take place in a simulated environment such as outer space or under the ocean. While these are sold as being attractive to applicants they may actually have the opposite effect. Candidates actually value assessments that appear job relevant more than they value being entertained by the experience. In the world of candidate experience, fairness is king and candidates value job relevance over fun. Personality tests alone, be they games or regular measures, are not strong predictors of work performance. So it is not a surprise that personality games have struggled to be effective as selection tools and their ability as strong predictors of applicant performance should be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. Yes, it is possible for games to measure aspects of personality but they have not proven to do so with at the accuracy level of more traditional assessments. Many games, including those that claim to measure personality, are sold based on the number of data points they generate about an applicant. These data points are called “paradata” and they are the byproduct of all the actions within the gaming experience. The sheer number of data points does not mean an assessment is a good measurement tool. Measuring constructs that underlie work performance requires understanding what you are measuring first and foremost and then creating accurate and reliable measurement tools. Just because you have millions of data points does not mean the patterns that belie personality are found within it. Finally- games may not meet accessibility standards required of selection tools. It is important to fully evaluate any assessment games for compliance to ADA standards.3. So what can we trust?Gamified assessments are great as long as they are held to the same standards as regular assessments. Currently the strongest type of assessment games are cognitive games. These games have many advantages over regular cognitive assessments they are more engaging, work better than traditional assessments on mobile devices and early research shows that they actually work better than regular cognitive assessments while having less adverse impact. Cognitive games are also very good at measuring multi-tasking which is becoming increasingly important for many jobs.3a. We can trust that games will be an important part of the future of assessmentsIn the future games will help measure things that are not easily measured by static assessments. We can expect to see an increase in the use of gamification techniques to make games increasingly more enjoyable. We can also expect to see games become more like simulations that mimic the real workplace. We can also expect to see a modular approach where many mini games that measure specific traits are packaged together in a branded wrapper. We can also expect to see more Virtual and Augmented reality based assessment games.Are games the future? They are definitely part of it as they offer many attractive elements that will help talent assessments evolve.Visit www.blackhawke.io to learn more about Ben and his work supporting venture capitalists (VC) and other investors by analyzing the psychological strengths and weaknesses of entrepreneurs and startup teams.

“Please, please to be kind to oneself. I think entrepreneurs can have an enormous perfectionist tendency, because they’re so eager to bring that thing they believe in, into the world, and perfectionism can really throttle us. If we can be kind and forgiving to ourselves, I think that is the one thing I’d like to see. I’d love people to learn that, very early on, rather than wait until they’re my age to be kind and generous to themselves.” I’m delighted to welcome Renée Van Der Vloodt who is this week’s guest on the Happy Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast. Renée is a coach, educator, therapist, and writer with over 20 years experience of positively transforming the mental health and wellbeing of individuals and teams.
