Un año enfrentándonos al coronavirus pasa factura: a sus consecuencias en salud, y a su impacto económico y social, se añaden los síntomas de lo que la Organización Mundial de la Salud ha denominado "fatiga pandémica". La incertidumbre y complejidad que definía el contexto en el que ya nos movíamos antes de la Covid-19 se ha intensificado de manera exponencial y -aun con la esperanza que las vacunas puedan aportar- no sabemos cuánto tiempo de crisis nos queda por delante. Esto lleva a unos efectos psicológicos de creciente estrés, pesimismo y desmotivación que afectan a muchas personas y que claramente repercuten en el trabajo de los directivos y en la relación con colegas, clientes, inversores, etc. Quienes no hemos vivido situaciones de guerra o grandes catástrofes, hoy más que nunca necesitamos energía física, mental y emocional para afrontar los retos de la crisis para uno mismo y para los colaboradores en nuestros equipos y organizaciones.

En esta sesión de la mano del Prof. Alberto Ribera se describirán estrategias y recursos que las contribuciones académicas en las disciplinas de psicología y liderazgo proponen para dirigir con resiliencia y transmitir esa capacidad en el entorno de trabajo.

Las Fake News, o noticias falsas son historias con apariencia verdadera que en los últimos años han tomado especial relevancia por su rápida expansión a través de las redes sociales.

En esta sesión los profesores Inés Alegre y Josep Valor presentarán algunos ejemplos del impacto de las fake news, hablarán de quién las crea y con qué objetivos y presentarán los resultados de su investigación sobre quién tiene una mayor tendencia a creérselas.

What if there was a way to have the stability of a day job with the excitement of a startup? All of the benefits of entrepreneurship with none of the pitfalls?Patrick will show you how, by investing just 10% of your time and resources, you can become an entrepreneur without losing a steady paycheck.

Speaker
Patrick J. McGinnis is an international venture capitalist and the author of Fear of Missing Out and The 10% Entrepreneur. Patrick coined the term FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), as well as the related term FOBO (Fear of a Better Option) in an article in the student newspaper of Harvard Business School. Since that time, FOMO has since been added to the dictionary and FOBO has become an increasingly popular framework to describe choice paralysis. 

As a 10% Entrepreneur, Patrick has built a diverse portfolio of investments outside of his day job. This portfolio encompasses fast growing new ventures in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, including ipsy, the world?s largest online beauty community and the upcoming British stage production of The Last King of Scotland.
