Welcome to a new episode of the @MAGICademy Podcast! Our guest for S4E10 is Dr. Alexander Young, who is very well-known in the fields of education technology and health. Dr. Alex is mostly recognized as the founder and CEO of Virti, an innovative platform aimed at transforming how individuals learn and perform in professional settings. We talk about AI and coaching, how these two concepts intertwine, and how they can be harnessed to develop talents and form excellent professionals.

Dr. Alex graduated with a degree in Medicine from the University of Bristol in 2009 and subsequently trained as a trauma and orthopedic surgeon until 2018 when he decided to fully dedicate himself to Virti and focus on enhancing training and performance in business environments by leveraging advanced technologies. In this episode, he also shares some insights about AI-powered avatars, recognizing AI from real people, and some stories on how AI + coaching have improved talent development.

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. By implementing this, companies can help talents refine their communication strategies and learn to articulate their thoughts clearly and effectively in high-pressure situations, while also providing and receiving unique feedback, which can lead to improved interpersonal skills and greater confidence in handling sensitive discussions.

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. The other aspect that is extremely important is to prioritize the coaching and follow-up with it. Workers get busy, people have less and less time to dedicate to practice these type of scenarios, but this practice is vital and organizations should prioritize it above other things.

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. But by humbly approaching something with the inquisitive nature of a child, and open ourselves to actually understanding and figuring out the subject in a fun way, it’s way easier to break down most problems and get to a resolution or solution in a really quick timeframe.

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.
