5 Ways of Adaptability

Hello everyone,

My name is Reynhard Powiwi, and I am a Mobile Development Cohort in the Bangkit Academy Program 2023. Last week, I had the pleasure of attending an ILT session that discussed adaptability and resilience, and I would like to share with you the ways of adaptability that I have applied during my time in the Bangkit program.

Ways of Interacting

As soon as I was accepted into the program, I tried to connect with my fellow cohorts by reaching out to them on LinkedIn and Instagram. I also made an effort to engage with the speakers who participated in the ILT session. By interacting with many cohorts, I was able to learn how to communicate effectively with others. Additionally, we were encouraged to use English, which was a challenge for me as I was not very fluent in the language. However, this program has allowed me to improve my English skills significantly.

Ways of Achieving

Before joining the Bangkit program, I had set goals for myself, and during the first technical meeting, I was asked to write them down and display them on the front of my laptop screen. Sometimes, I felt exhausted and wanted to give up, but looking at my goals helped me to remember my purpose in this program and remain motivated to complete it. Ways of achieving involve adapting to reach our goals, and this program has taught me to be more adaptable and determined in pursuing my objectives.

Ways of Learning

As an entirely online program, the Bangkit program ensured that the cohorts learn by requiring us to attend online classes. This helped me to remain focused on learning and adapt to the learning materials provided. I also learned new skills that were not covered in my previous academic experience, such as the soft skills covered in the ILT sessions. Learning how to adapt to different learning environments and teaching methods has been instrumental in my growth as a learner.

Ways of Working

Since this program is entirely online, I had to adapt to working from home. I transformed my room into a comfortable workspace, and I set a schedule for myself to ensure that I could focus on learning effectively. I also learned how to adapt to tools and technologies that I had not used before, which was challenging at first, but ultimately helped me to broaden my skillset and become a more adaptable worker.

Ways of Thinking

Throughout the Bangkit program, I have often found myself overthinking and questioning whether I could complete it. However, the ILT session on growth mindset and fixed mindset helped me to remain positive and believe that I could accomplish my goals with hard work and determination. By adopting a growth mindset, I have learned to be more adaptable, resilient, and motivated in pursuing my objectives.

In conclusion, the Bangkit program has been an excellent opportunity for me to develop my adaptability skills. By interacting, achieving, learning, working, and thinking in new ways, I have become a more adaptable and resilient learner and worker. I encourage all of you to embrace adaptability as a crucial skill for success in your personal and professional lives.
