Why do we need to have adaptability ?
Besides providing support for our resilience and growth during uncertain or difficult situations, adaptability also opens up new opportunities and improves mental well-being. People who can adjust quickly and effectively tend to be more efficient in their work, thereby increasing their prospects of success in various areas of life.
in this artcile, I'd like to share 5 ways to adapt and grow from my journey at Bangkit Academy led by Google, Tokopedia, Gojek, & Traveloka Program.
- Ways of InteractingEffective communication skills and strong collaboration abilities are key in building meaningful and supportive relationships. In this program we interact with each other from different backgrounds such as regional origin, university and culture. By being adaptive in our interactions, we can appreciate different views, embrace diversity, and create an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued. In addition, there are weekly consultations, which add to the openness and strong cooperation, and together we can achieve more than we ever thought possible.
- Ways of AchievingBeing a participant at Bangkit Academy, I have honed my skills in setting realistic and flexible goals. Having goals that are measurable and adaptable to changing situations is the key to success. In addition, I also actively seek additional resources, such as asking mentors and learning materials from Bangkit itself, to support the achievement of my goals. By developing strategies that can be adjusted to changing conditions, I feel more prepared to face various challenges and able to achieve success in various fields.
- Ways of learningWe were not only introduced to hard skills, but also mentored in the development of essential social skills aspects. One of the biggest challenges we faced was the independent and flexible nature of the program, where we were challenged to adjust and manage our learning schedule independently. For me, it was very encouraging as it pushed us to be more disciplined in time management and find the right balance between learning and rest.
- Ways of WorkingIn this program, focusing on time is key. Bangkit academy has a well-structured schedule, and we need to be able to adapt to it. For me, adapting to the program's activities has been a huge benefit, helping me improve my time management skills and overall productivity. Following the program schedule not only made me more efficient, but also made me more confident in handling tasks well and on time.
- Ways of ThinkingBangkit gave me a new outlook on the way I look at life. There, I learned that every obstacle can be an opportunity to continue growing and learning. Instead, I no longer feel down when I face failure in achieving something. I changed my outlook to be one step ahead of where I was before. The main key to thinking is our mindset, failing or succeeding is part of the process, the most important thing is to have the courage to try.
