5 Ways of Adaptability: My Journey at Bangkit 2023

Bangkit Academy 2023 greatly impacted my adaptability and resilience. Throughout the program, I faced many challenges such as unfamiliar materials, strict deadlines, and stress management. So, here are those 5 ways of adaptability that I have done since joining Bangkit program in February :

1. Ways of Interacting

Before joining Bangkit, I was used to communicating online using Line in my native language, Indonesian. But since join Bangkit, I use Discord for information sharing and to communicate in English. Additionally, I have been using English as much as possible in my daily interactions?especially in ILT Session to improve my language skills and express myself better when communicating with my fellow Bangkit students. By doing so, I can engage with the program more effectively and build stronger relationships with my peers.

2. Ways of Achieving

I learned an important soft skill in the Bangkit Academy is to being goal-oriented. By dividing big tasks into smaller steps with clear targets and deadlines, I stayed motivated and focused, avoiding feeling overwhelmed. This approach helped me work efficiently and effectively to achieve better results in less time.

3. Ways of Learning

The way I used to learn in my college setting was vastly different from how I have to learn in Bangkit Academy. Unlike before, where I would rely solely on lecturers and class materials, now I have to take charge of my own learning journey. Instructor-led training is only provided once a week, leaving the rest of the week for us to learn at our own pace through various learning platforms. Initially, I found this change in learning style overwhelming, with the abundance of courses and tight deadlines to manage. However, as time passed, I began to appreciate this new approach to learning, despite the initial confusion. Learning independently has allowed me to acquire new skills and knowledge that I never thought possible. I am eager to continue learning in this manner and discover new ways to challenge myself.

4. Ways of Working

I acquired an essential soft skill in the program, which was to work more effectively and productively. This was achieved through implementing time management and prioritization techniques that helped me stay concentrated and avoid being interrupted by other tasks or projects. Furthermore, I became more conscious of my energy levels and took breaks when necessary to avoid feeling exhausted and maintain my motivation and focus. By establishing these habits and strategies, I was able to work more efficiently and accomplish tasks more quickly.

5. Ways of Thinking

The Bangkit Academy 2023 program was crucial in my personal and professional development by shifting my mindset to a growth-oriented perspective. Embracing this mindset allowed me to approach challenges as opportunities for growth and learn from failures. As a result, I became more resilient and bounced back from setbacks more quickly. This shift also improved my problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills, enabling me to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with others.

Overall, I feel that the Bangkit Academy 2023 has had a significant impact on my personal and professional growth. It helped me develop invaluable soft skills like adaptability and resilience, boosting my confidence and equipping me to succeed in any endeavor.
