The 5 Ways of Adaptability and Thrive in Any Situation

"Adaptability is a powerful skill that allows us to grow, learn, and thrive in an ever-changing world." - Unknown

In today's rapidly changing world, it's essential to be able to adapt to new situations, challenges, and opportunities. It's important to be flexible, creative, and willing to adjust your plans. By embracing change, we can increase our chances of achieving our goals and reaching our full potential.

Joining the Bangkit 2023 program is a big change in my life, but it's also a great opportunity to challenge myself. Adapting to change can be tough, but I've managed to adjust well after eight weeks. I'd like to share how the five ways of adaptability helped me during my time in the Bangkit 2023 program.

1. Ways of Interacting

Building relationships through interaction is important for future benefits. At Bangkit, we learn with people from various backgrounds, ages, and personalities. I make sure to treat everyone respectfully, especially those who are older than me. I also recognize that everyone is unique, and I try to understand them by considering their perspective. Communicating in English initially made me feel hesitant and unconfident, but I learned that everyone is respectful and understanding. It's okay to make mistakes, as no one is perfect.

2. Ways to Achieving

Setting and reaching goals is important for personal growth and success. Goals help us focus our energy and efforts towards something meaningful. In the Bangkit program, my goal is to become proficient in programming, especially in machine learning, and to graduate with good grades. I am working hard to stay on track and achieve these goals by making a to-do list and using the four quadrants of time management.

3. Ways of Learning

Learning can be easy if we are committed and intentional. Nowadays, we can get knowledge from anywhere. At Bangkit we use online platforms to learn such as Dicoding and Coursera, and we have ILT soft skills and tech for the synchrone classes. The tight schedule was challenging at first, but I adjusted by allocating more time to learn about machine learning and discussing it with my peers. During the ILT session, I need to stay focused and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

4. Ways of Working

As mentioned earlier, adapting is important to keep up. We're expected to adapt to the Bangkit curriculum. It's important to complete assignments on time and attend all mandatory classes. Good time management helps prevent feeling overwhelmed, but burnout can still happen. Taking a break and receiving support from others can help restore motivation.

5. Ways of Thinking

Having a growth mindset can help us be more adaptable in any situation. Adopting a growth mindset can help individuals overcome self-doubt, embrace challenges, and develop a love for learning and personal growth. By joining the Bangkit 2023 program, I have the courage to learn more new things and start doing what I desire. I am also trained to think critically and be proactive.?

In summary, adaptability and resilience help individuals navigate uncertainty by being flexible, open-minded, and optimistic. By developing five ways of adaptability - interacting, achieving, learning, working, and thinking - I can adapt to unexpected changes in my personal and professional life. Bangkit Academy led by Google, Tokopedia, Gojek, & Traveloka will make me better personally and in my career. I feel grateful for the opportunities and experiences I've had so far.
