Speaker: Mikael Vainio, Winner
What is the secret of your team’s success?
Mikael Vainio: Secret of our success. I think it's the amazing team spirit that we are having in the Middle East and also extremely high standards that, that we hold in everything we do. We are also positively competitive. And I think that when the whole pilot was announced, we made a decision to win and everybody committed to this target. Throughout the eight weeks, we communicated actively on our own channels and all the team members were sending out inspiring messages. So, I'm not surprised. So, congratulations to the team in the Middle East.
What fueled your commitment and success in the Hintsa App pilot?
Mikael Vainio: I think overall the idea of the pilot and the competition was excellent because it kind of inspired everyone to use the application and to do the programs to understand what is actually the structure. So it was curiosity and of course, it was a great possibility to actually manifest the fact that we have a great team in the Middle East and also a great team spirit.
What was the impact for you personnally? What changes did you make?
Mikael Vainio: Personally, I benefited most of the biomechanics programs. I have some long standing lower back problems and some of the things in, those programs actually gave me pretty good ideas what to do with some small changes of those. Then from the mental energy part that there were some pretty interesting tips actually how to avoid distractions and how to kind of manage, your time and focus in a different way. So I found those quite beneficial as well.
