5 Ways of Adaptability

Hello everyone, my name is Ibnu Batutah,?Bangkit Academy led by Google, Tokopedia, Gojek, & Traveloka?Cohort 2023 from MD-09, I want to share with you the five ways of adaptability that I have learned and implemented.

As a participant in the Bangkit 2023 program, I have had the opportunity to develop my adaptability and resilience skills in various ways, The?5 Ways of Adaptability?have enabled me to navigate these hurdles with?confidence. Before we going to tell you how I have implemented The 5 Ways of Adaptability we need to understand what exactly it is.

The 5 Ways of Adaptability

Adaptability is a person’s ability to adjust to changes in their environment. Practicing adaptability may include how you are able to respond quickly to changes. Bangkit taught me about The?5 Ways of Adaptability which is explained as :

1. Ways of?Interacting, Capability that helps us to communicate and collaborate effectively, even in unfamiliar or challenging contexts.
2. Ways of?Achieving,?Capability that setting and pursuing goals in teams in a flexible and strategic manner.
3. Ways of?Learning,?Capability that acquire new knowledge and skills, and to apply that learning in practical ways.
4. Ways of?Working,?Navigate complex work and adapt to new technologies and tools.
5. Ways of?Thinking,?Ability to approach problems and challenges with creativity, flexibility, and resilience. It involves skills to think outside the box, challenge assumptions, and remain positive and adaptable.

My Implementation of Bangkit five Ways of Adaptability

1. Ways of Interacting

The first time I am enrolled in the Bangkit program, I made an effort to connect and communicate with my mentors and fellow cohorts. As Bangkit use English as the primary language, it is required me to use English in both discussion and mentoring. My english writing skill is decent but my speaking and listening skill is awful.

Initially, I struggled to adjust to this changes. However, I tried to learn English by listening to youtube videos and practice it with fellow cohorts. I attended all the online meetings and events, and actively participated in group discussions. By doing so, I was able to be better both in listening and speaking english and the plus point is that I have build connections with other participants.

2. Ways of Achieving

I set clear goals for myself both long-term and short-term the moment I am accepted to Bangkit Program, By making clear goals it is really help me to stay motivated to reach that goal, but event though I am setting goals I have also been open to feedback from my mentors and fellow cohort, and have adjusted my goals and plans if needed.

3. Ways of Learning

As Mobile Development Bangkit program participant, I have been exposed to a wide range of Android technologies, skills and knowledge. I have made an effort to understand the basic by implementing Feynman Technique, as the result I have depth understanding of the basic and have great foundation to develop application with Kotlin. I also open to feedback and guidance from my mentors and fellow cohorts, and have used that feedback to improve my learning process.

4. Ways of Working

As the courses from Dicoding get more complex and explore new technologies I am starting to struggles. But, I try to adapt to it by breaking the topic down using Mind Mapping method which gave me visual representation on how things work and how the technology running. I also asking for advice and guidance from my mentors and fellow cohorts.

5. Ways of Thinking

From Instructor-Led Training (ILT) I have learned a valuable lessons about adopting a growth mindset. This mindset enables me to view challenges as opportunities to grow and failures as opportunities for learning and self-improvement, I also learned about critical thinking which tell me on how to receive and response on informations as well as to approach feedback and criticism with positivity.

Since then whenever I came across new technologies I see it as new opportunities to grow and Bugs or Errors I came across never seem as bad as I thought it was, now I saw it as a prove that I have tried and opportunities to learned from my mistake.

Summary

Combining technical expertise, and a positive mindsets, we can cultivate the 5 Ways of Adaptability, which will empower us to navigate uncertainty and changes with confidence. I can confidently say that Bangkit program has taught me valuable lessons on adaptability. I also often mentioned to open for feedback and asking for guidance both from mentors or fellow cohorts, because everyone also trying to adapt to changes and if you came across same obstacles as they were you might want to share your struggles and asking for guidance to save yourself time exploring on how to solve it by your self ;)

As a Bangkit 2023 program participant, I have learned lessons on adaptability, such as embracing changes, get comfortable with challenges, achieving milestones, adapting to new tools and technologies, managing time, and adapting growing mindset. Thanks you so much Bangkit 2023!?
