5 Ways of Adaptability I Practiced in Joining the Bangkit 2023 Program

As a participant of the Bangkit led by Google, Goto, and Traveloka , I have learned about the importance of adaptability and resilience in facing challenges and achieving personal and professional growth.

The 5 Ways of adaptability that I have learned are ways of interacting, achieving, learning, working, and thinking. In this article, I would like to reflect on my personal experience in applying these 5 Ways of adaptability in the Bangkit led by Google, Goto, and Traveloka .

Interacting: In the Bangkit 2023 program I am required to be able to communicate actively in a class or in a casual chat topic on Discord which contains individuals from various backgrounds, in which case I must be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with the proper norms and decency apply.

With the various interactions that I am currently making by applying active listening and empathy, I have been able to get several friends who have the same vision and mission and even friends who are likely to become my team during the capstone project later which will enrich my learning experience.

Achieving: Bangkit 2023 has a fairly tight schedule where if I don't try to achieve and complete the assignments given I will definitely be overwhelmed in this learning process but on the other hand, Bangkit facilitates us with a Time Management subject (as well as other soft-skills subjects) which make this so much easier to do because there is already a proven foundation in doing something so that it can be practiced in everyday life, besides that there is also a mentor/instructor who is ready to be asked if there are obstacles so that it makes it easier to achieve goals.

Learning: The Bangkit 2023 program emphasizes lifelong learning and continuous improvement. I have been exposed to various cutting-edge technologies and industry practices, which have expanded my knowledge and skills in cloud computing (and also another tech). Through self-paced/self-directed learning and peer-to-peer sharing, I have also discovered new knowledge, perspectives, and approaches to problem-solving that has enriched my personal growth.

Working: The Bangkit 2023 program has simulated real-world industry scenarios, where I have learned to work collaboratively and efficiently in individuals/teams (especially in some classes in which we assigned a group to discuss and solve a problem with).

I have also gained insights into the importance of time management, communication, and leadership skills in achieving successful outcomes through ILT sessions, guest speaker sessions, and also through regular weekly consultation sessions, I am able to discuss things that are happening so that it makes it easier for me to deal with problems/doubts that I face in the learning process at Bangkit 2023 and to balance competing priorities in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.

Thinking: The Bangkit 2023 program has taught me critical thinking and also thinking creatively in solving complex problems. I have learned to approach problems from multiple perspectives and to consider the ethical and social implications of my solutions.

Through ILT and weekly consultation sessions, I have also learned to receive constructive criticism and to incorporate diverse perspectives into my decision-making process.

In conclusion, the Bangkit 2023 program has provided me with a transformative learning experience, where I have applied the 5 Ways of Adaptability to develop essential skills and mindsets for success in the field of technology and also in real life.

Through interacting, achieving, learning, working, and thinking, I have become a more adaptable and resilient learner and individual who is ready to face new challenges and opportunities in my future career. #LifeatBangkit #Bangkit2023
