A few days ago, I attended the ILT (Instructor Led Training) Soft Skill Session 04 agenda which discussed the topic of Adaptability and Resilience by Kak Elissa Dwi Lestari , Lecturer at? Universitas Multimedia Nusantara . From the session, I got a lot of knowledge to improve my soft skills. I am so grateful because by joining Bangkit Academy led by Google, Tokopedia, Gojek, & Traveloka , I'm not only having hard skills, but also honing my soft skills. In this article, I would like to share my journey to adapt at Bangkit Academy.

There are 5 ways to improve our adaptability :

Ways of Working

As the program is conducted remote online, I have created a comfortable workspace, working hours, layouts and company culture. With a tough schedule and lots of deadlines, I felt overwhelmed and wondered how I could complete everything on time. After taking the Time Management class, I could adapt to my tough schedule and make it so efficient with working smarter rather than working harder. I also learned and more using the working tools which is very helpful in increasing my productivity even though the work I did was only done online. Tools that I use is Google Calendar to schedule my agendas, Google Keep to keep track of my list of tasks, as well as Google Classroom and other developer tools.

Ways of Interacting

As Bangkit Academy is a community with a diverse set of cohorts, mentors, and instructors, it has given me the experience to interact with people from different age groups, backgrounds, and language preferences, I was actually "forced" to communicate using English for the entire program. For me its hard because I don't have confidence but time after time, slowly I found my confidence for communicate using English in ILT class or discord group.

Ways of Thinking

Before join Bangkit program, i have fixed mindset, was afraid of challenges, always wanted to be in my comfort zone. After taking Growth Mindset class, I change my mindset and always challenge my self as opportunities to learn and grow.

Ways of Achieving

I joined Bangkit Academy of course because I've a goal that I want to achieve. I want to get ACE Developer certification, deepen my knowledge of cloud computing, improve my soft skills, and broaden my connections. All of that has been provided by Bangkit Academy, and I have to make the best use of it. I also collaborated with fellow cohorts to achieve our milestones goals.

Ways Of Learning

The last one is learning. My skills are not comparable to others cohort who are good with this Cloud Computing thing. ?there are a lot of new materials for me, so sometimes I feel like I'm struggling and falling behind others. But, I always reminder my self for "fight for your life", don't easily for give up. I also join communities for cover my weakness. For now I focus complete my milestones goals and prepare for capstone project in the end program.

I have become more confident to face more challenges and difficulties in my life's journey including my study journey at Bangkit Academy led by Google, Tokopedia, Gojek, & Traveloka .
