“Performance Style”, neuroscience, an innovative integrated method to support individual and team performance in organizations.

On January 22nd, in the enchanting setting of Atelier Ricci, a historic building in Lucca’s historic center, MindUP Enhancement Psychology® and MR Corporate joined forces to introduce the “Performance Style” methodology for corporate performance development.
Riccardo Paterni, co-founder of MindUP, introduced the meeting. Emanuela Caiano, co-founder of MR Corporate, and Lorenzo Baldassarri, co-founder of MindUP, then introduced an innovative method that integrates neuroscience and objective scientific measurement with targeted soft skills learning. All this to generate conscious, concrete, and objectively measurable performance from an individual and team perspective.
An individual performance focused on key aspects: results, efficiency, resilience, and quality. A performance designed (using the integrated MindUP and MR Corporate methodologies and protocols) that included: current status analysis, identification of improvement levers, gradual implementation, and, finally, continuous monitoring.
The tailored context of the location was conceptually aligned with the tailored approach used for dynamics. The meeting involved entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals from various parts of Italy who participated in live exercises and demonstrative scientific measurements.
The meeting concluded with an aperitif held in the Atelier rooms, which stimulated valuable exchanges of opinions and reflections among the participants.

Riccardo has represented RPM, MindUP and AWA in supporting the  all women  drivers racing team.

The Fox Running 10-Hour Race took place in Modena last Saturday, December 6th. RPM took to the track as a partner of AWA, supporting their first all-female team, “Women on Track.”

Two other organizations from our network supported this fantastic team: Andreoli & C. as sponsor and MindUp providing technical and psychological support.

The Fox Running
The 25th event of The Fox Running, held on December 6th at the Modena racetrack, closed this year’s season.
50 competing teams, 10 hours of racing, and a technical and challenging course, where both old acquaintances and new talents raced, for a race that draws ever-increasing numbers every year.

Female Empowerment Takes a Stand in Motorsport
And it is in this context that “Women on Track,” the AWA team, partnered by RPM, came into play.
An all-female team, born from the vision of three great women: Monica Zanetti, Lady F40 and the first female mechanic in Ferrari history; Laura Tancredi, president and co-founder of AWA with Zanetti; and Anna Mangione, founder of Wheels on Heels.

The team, led by Nives Ardetti, took to the track with a concrete project: to gain the space women deserve in motorsport.

RPM’s Presence
RPM was the official partner: our logo, featured on the KIA Rio 1.5 Turbo Diesel, raced around the Modena racetrack throughout the race.

The support of two other network members was also crucial: Andreoli & C., as sponsor, and MindUp, providing technical and psychological support throughout the race.

Congratulations, Women on Track!
This race is yet another demonstration of how the network is much more than just a collection of companies and professionals, but a true team that supports and motivates one another.
Congratulations, therefore, to all involved, and especially to the Women on Track riders for this crucial milestone.

A Thursday of coffee, discussion, and networking took place on December 4th for the High Performance Coffee Club. As always, organized by GMA and powered by RPM, it took place in an exceptional location: the Motor Valley Accelerator headquarters.

Motor Valley Accelerator: The beating heart of innovation
The choice of the Motor Valley Accelerator as the venue for the latest edition of the High Performance Coffee Club allowed companies and industry professionals to meet in a place where innovation in high-performance engineering is the order of the day.

An opportunity for startups and professionals
Motor Valley Accelerator offers young entrepreneurs and startups the chance to present their high-performance engineering ideas and raise funds and financing through a structured program divided into several stages.

The HPCC at the beginning of the month was therefore not only an opportunity for networking, but also for meeting professionals interested in new ideas and projects.

The Success of the HCPP
This simple and direct format is the key to the success of this event, which brings together an ever-increasing number of professionals from the motorsport, advanced engineering, and automotive sectors.
The goal? To stay up-to-date on market trends, projects in development, news, and opinions, over a good coffee and outside of the company walls.

Until the next HPCC!
Thank you to all the professionals for participating in this edition of the HPCC, and also thanks to the Motor Valley Accelerator for offering their venue as a location for our networking.

See you next time!
