Ioannis Patiniotis, an experienced economist who has held senior positions in shipping, including as chief financial officer at shipping companies, as well as a writer and poet, joins “Fair Winds and Following Seas” on Voice of Greece.
He discusses PYLI-NET – Human Centric Technology and the “Soft Skills Conference – From Hidden Talent to Business Profitability,” taking place at the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Known in the shipping industry as Doctor True, Patiniotis explains:
“Seafaring is the only profession in the world where the workplace itself moves, constantly changing geographical coordinates. The pace of work aboard ships today is very fast, and the demands are high. Ships no longer spend much time in port, and crews face challenges such as fatigue, stress and a lack of a change of scenery. We need to examine these issues and help address them.
“Human readiness, which we can assess through soft skills, is no longer something invisible—it is now measurable. This allows us to help both employees and companies achieve better results. We will discuss all this and much more at our conference.”
