5 Ways of Adaptability I Utilized During Bangkit 2023 Program

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me." (Batman)

Joining the Bangkit 2023 program has opened up many opportunities for me to develop adaptability in various aspects. During this program, I have faced various challenges and learned to adapt to diverse environments and new complex situations. In this article, I would like to share 5 ways on how I developed adaptability during the Bangkit 2023 program, from interacting, achieving goals, learning, working, to thinking.

Ways of Interacting

During the Bangkit program, I learned how to effectively communicate with fellow Bangkit students and mentors who come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and have different personalities. Despite being an introverted person, I challenged myself to express my thoughts clearly and in a structured manner to make my interactions interesting. I am also adaptable in my socializing style, depending on the person I am talking to. I let others speak first to understand their style of communication, and once I am comfortable with them, I actively participate in the conversation. As English is the language used for communication in Bangkit, I use informal language with a free vocabulary to ensure smooth communication, while still maintaining politeness. I also strive to be open to different perspectives and appreciate them, as this helps me assess someone's personality type. In conclusion, I believe that being confident and being true to oneself in interactions make us more unique.

Ways of Achieving

I employ innovative and creative approaches in tackling challenges or new problems. For instance, I utilize time management tools or apps to efficiently organize my schedule amidst the demanding Bangkit program. I also join study groups where we support and learn from each other in a relaxed manner. Additionally, I prioritize building harmonious relationships and mutual respect to expand my network of friends in Bangkit.

Ways of Learning

In my learning process, I often use diverse sources of information and seek feedback from peers and mentors to improve my understanding of various topics, ranging from cloud computing to soft skills and beyond. This motivates and inspires me to continuously strive for self-improvement.

Ways of Working

To support my productivity during the Bangkit program, I quickly and efficiently adapt to new or different technologies and work tools, such as Google Calendar and Notion, to keep track of tasks that need to be completed before deadlines. I also utilize techniques like the Pomodoro technique to work effectively.

Ways of Thinking

In order to succeed in the Bangkit program and graduate with competence, I adopt a flexible and critical thinking mindset in solving problems or facing complex situations. By delving deeper and testing the validity of assumptions or predictions made by others, I can avoid errors or mistakes in decision-making.

In my journey as a participant in the Bangkit 2023 program, I have developed 5 Ways of Adaptability which involve how to interact, achieve goals, learn, work, and think flexibly and critically. This experience has helped me face complex challenges and broaden my skills and understanding. I am very proud to be part of the diverse and innovative Bangkit community, and I am sure that the adaptability I have developed will continue to be a valuable value in my career going forward.

Thank You!!
