5 Ways of Adaptability: Bangkit Journey

Hello everyone, I am Alfian Fakhrudin, in August 2023 I had the opportunity to join the Bangkit 2023 batch 2 program, a learning program initiated by Bangkit Academy led by Google, Tokopedia, Gojek, & Traveloka to prepare participants with skills relevant to industry needs. And today I will share 5 Ways to Adapt that I did after joining Bangkit

Adaptability is the key to coping with life's changes and uncertainties. It is the ability to learn flexibly and effectively and to apply that knowledge to a variety of situations. In a world of volatility and uncertainty the ability to adapt to complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) is becoming increasingly important. As the saying goes the only certainty in life is uncertainty so we must be prepared to adapt to unexpected changes.

Here are 5 adaptations that I applied while participating in the Bangkit program :

Ways of Interacting ???:

Since the beginning of joining Bangkit Academy, I have really enjoyed communicating and getting to know many friends who have the same interest in technology. In the voice channel Discord server Bangkit, with various different backgrounds, we get to know each other and become good friends with them, interacting every night with college stories and helping each other if there is something that they don't understand. Besides that, Bangkit Academy also creates an environment that keeps us connected and shares information through weekly online sessions and instructor-led training.

Ways of Achieving ??:

Before the Bangkit program started, I had set a goal for myself to get the best grades and finish until the end. Besides that, this Bangkit program offers attractive merchandise. It encourages me to complete all courses before the schedule ends to achieve some merchandise that I like, and I target getting the merchandise after graduating from Bangkit.

Ways of Learning ??:

When I first joined the Bangkit program, I learned many things related to Android development, the Bangkit program itself has an intense learning schedule and the opportunity to discuss with mentors. Learning in Bangkit itself uses self-learning methods, which is new for me because previously I learned through materials delivered by lecturers during lectures. That way, I adapted by completing all courses on time with the schedule set by the Bangkit team and also by learning independently through the dicoding platform.

Ways of Working ??:

In this Bangkit program, I adapted to a busy schedule, so I created a to-do list of my activities using Trello to manage my time effectively and help me organize and complete tasks that have their own quadrants of importance.

Ways of Thinking ??:

At Bangkit we understand a growth mindset and the importance of constructive feedback to help change your mindset. We learn to recognize and accept our shortcomings see challenges as opportunities for growth prioritize action over results and give and receive constructive feedback. By adopting and practicing these principles I have grown in confidence and gained a deeper understanding of myself.

In short, as part of Bangkit, I learned how to be more adaptable and flexible in facing challenges. I apply this not only during the program but also in my current daily life.??
