Forward with MCKINSEY -Adaptability and Resilience for Learning

It was a nice challenge to gain the badge from the McKinsey FORWARD Program with the adaptability and resilience for learning.

The reason why I have enjoyed it is based on the following:

It is nice to see a roadmap to reflect on how we can survive and then unlearn and keep going with lifelong learning
I ticked all the boxes ( 98%) of their recommendations with my current approach.

The course focuses on gruelling adaptability and resilience as essential expertise in a swiftly evolving professional landscape. Here’s a concentrated handbook to aid in enhancing your learning experience:

Set Clear Intentions: Begin today with a learning aim rather than focusing on performance. Skill acquisition ought to be the primary concern rather than outcome achievement. Deeper engagement and persistence are highly coveted for this kind of approach.

Embrace the Journey: Try changing your attitude towards problems since growth comes from difficulties. Your learning should be broken down into small pieces that you can handle easily without thinking about perfectionism as well.

Develop Productive Habits: According to the Habit Loop system, which involves cue, routine, reward, adopt and continue following these correct practices for studying. Think of harmful habits and replace them with routines that assist in mental and emotional progress.

Apply Mindset Tools: There are different adjustable mindsets, like growth agents and creative mindsets; the awareness-pause-reframe (APR) technique enables you to change from restraining thoughts to empowering beliefs.

Reflect and Adapt: Actively engage in reflection to internalise learning. Growth is often reinforced through regular self-assessment and feedback.

Find Personal Meaning: Link your learning journey to intrinsic motivations. It enhances your dedication, hence making hardships more fulfilling.

The course provides tools to help students apply this knowledge in practical ways, i.e. deliberate learning, effective mindsets through reflection, and resilient habits— essential factors necessary when moving through the changing world today.
