About the Course

To survive in today’s constantly changing business landscape requires being comfortable in uncertainty. Adaptability is what allows people and businesses to solve problems, overcome challenges and move back from the edge of attrition to the more stable ground of relevance. Adaptability is everything. — Jeff Boss, Forbes Adaptability refers to your ability change your actions, course, or approach in order to suit different conditions or environments. Adaptability implies a sense of personal choice, of purposefully navigating—rather than being driven by—changing circumstances. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. Resilience gives you the ability to bounce forward with new insights and learning you can carry into the future. Both adaptability and resilience include the ability to assess an evolving situation from multiple perspectives, to shift thinking and viewpoint, and to choose the best response. Adaptable people flourish amidst chaos while inflexible people flounder. Adapters find openings in situations where others only see closure. This 4-module course will give you knowledge and tools to become more adaptable and resilient in your workplace and in your life....

Certainly! Here’s a description in English: --- **Adaptability and Resilience Course Reflection** Recently, I attended an insightful course on adaptability and resilience through the FutureX platform in collaboration with Coursera. This course provided a comprehensive understanding of the importance of flexibility in both personal and professional life. It emphasized how adaptability is key to navigating the constantly changing environments of today’s world, especially in the workplace. Throughout the course, I learned practical strategies to enhance resilience—both emotional and cognitive—which helps in overcoming challenges and managing stress effectively. One of the most valuable takeaways was understanding the role of a growth mindset in embracing change rather than resisting it. This mindset enables us to see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Additionally, the course highlighted the importance of self-care and mindfulness in maintaining resilience. By practicing these techniques, I’ve found myself better equipped to handle unexpected situations and maintain a calm, focused approach. Overall, this course has been a transformative experience. It equipped me with tools that I now apply in various aspects of my life, enabling me to stay adaptable in the face of uncertainty and challenges. ---

To be honest, I wanted to do this course to improve my skills. I found the topics of the individual modules appealing and helpful for me. The perfect ESI, the differences between the fixed and growth mindset were almost new to me and very helpful. Understanding how my behavior affects others was logical, but I had never thought about it. Another point that helped me to dive deeper into this topic was the different perspective on resilience. I've done several courses here, but this one was really good. It refreshed my knowledge from a different perspective. Did this fulfill my learning expectations? More than this. I had few expectations and was rather excited to see what these topics, which were not unknown to me, would teach me. Really a very helpful course with a good mix of sharing and readings and learning material. I only missed a brief insight into the topic of “Stressors and Stress Reactions (Physical and psychological feelings)” in Resilience. Thank you for this really good course.

Knowledge in this class helps to raise productivity, adapt to new environment and increase resilience to hard times. I wish there were more practices, as it sounds like a rush to catch the phases and quotes.
