Laurina has a background is in the fashion world, as well as in music performance- living a jet-setting life and career in the high end fashion industry prior to working with Porsche Cars, and also spent six years as a professional singer on the Las Vegas Strip. About five years ago she decided to return home to work with her dad in his business, Espo Resto, choosing to leave behind the hectic life of retail management to apply her skills in business in a more personal way. Laurina’s father is the renowned Porsche restoration expert John Esposito, so despite a career that led elsewhere initially, she grew up learning all about automobiles and specifically everything Porsche. Early memories include riding in classic speedsters/356s for trips to Taco Bell while her dad told her all the ins and outs, ups and downs about this amazing vehicle. In 2016, when she returned to work with her father, she found herself unexpectedly having to take over and run their restoration business on her own due to her fathers sudden illness (and near death!). Laurina is now the CEO of EspoResto, and has also started the organization Women in Porsche, Inc. which has nearly 30 independent chapters nationwide and internationally! Women in Porsche seeks to serve the under represented community of women in the Motorsport world, sharing the stories and connecting the women who Love, Work With and/or Drive Porsche. Her quest in this endeavor has led to connections with men and women in the Porsche family, worldwide, and proudly- has opened up doors for women to be more readily accepted and included in what is often seen as a male only pastime. Laurina is currently working on restoring a 1968 912 Targa with one of her fellow WIPs, as well as a 1973 911 T with her partner. When not working with Porsche, she is likely at home with her dogs, baking or cooking- working on a new production/performance, or spending time with her family.

Ep 6S7E6 - COVID-19, Virtual Labor, and Economic and Employee Well-being in the Future of Work

In this HCI Podcast episode, we share Dr. Westover's recent presentation at the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies Annual Conference, titled: "COVID-19, Virtual Labor, and Economic and Employee Well-being in the Future of Work." See the video here: https://youtu.be/V5u5mRV3We0. Consider how the nature of work has shifted over the past 50 years. With increased globalization, rapid technological advancement, and a shift in economic composition, the average jobs today look very little like the average jobs 50 years ago. These jobs were largely industrial and agricultural in nature, with a relatively small percentage of service sector jobs as a proportion of the overall economy. While we do not have a crystal ball and cannot predict, with any assurance, what the next 50 years will look like, past trends provide us with clues for the coming decades as we move headlong into the 4th Industrial Revolution. This revolution will be characterized by rapid technological progress where the application of new technologies will cause sudden change. As such, it seems clear that the technology of the future is changing the business of today and tomorrow. Apart from tracing historical trends to make predictions, unexpected global events, such as COVID-19 and their impact on the world of work and the economy, must be carefully considered. Such events may accelerate current trends or establish new directions. In this presentation, I will explore: (1) An Overview of COVID-19 Global Impact on Work and Economies, (2) Technological Innovations Influencing Shifting Work Conditions, (3) COVID-19 Accelerating the Shift to a New Normal in the Workplace and the Future of Work in the Post-Pandemic World, and (4) Policy Questions and Implications Related to Economic and Employee Well-being.

Ep 5S7E5 - Cognitive Dominance, Dealing with Stress, and Improved Decision Making, with Dr. Mark McLaughlin

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover talks with Dr. Mark McLaughlin about cognitive dominance, dealing with stress, and improved decision making. See the video here: https://youtu.be/aEqjeA7RlYc. Dr. Mark McLaughlin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mmclaughlinmd/) is no stranger to fear. A practicing board-certified neurosurgeon, he has helmed countless high-stakes surgeries in which any miscalculation could mean life or death. But decades performing under immense pressure in the operating room led Dr. McLaughlin to a surprising discovery: the secret to success isn’t just conquering fear – it’s engaging with it more productively. In his new book, Cognitive Dominance: A Brain Surgeons Quest to Out-Think Fear (Black Irish Books, Nov. 5., 2019), Dr. McLaughlin shares a new framework for dealing with fear to think and perform at the top of your game during stressful situations. He combines philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and his own experiences to provide unique insight on how the brain processes fear and how we can change our mindset about this universal condition. “Cognitive Dominance is a way of thinking, a methodology, to get better and better at quickly performing at the limits of your mental and physical capacity under maximum pressure with the highest probability of success,” says Dr. McLaughlin, who first discovered the concept while teaching in military circles. Dr. McLaughlin credits Cognitive Dominance with helping himself move past the common “Fear Freak Out” problem – that “deer-in-the-headlights” feeling under pressure – that holds us all back from high performance.
