Adaptability - A Toolkit for Survival
45 min workshop
The idea of change scares a lot of people! The thought of being uncomfortable in a new environment freaks us out and results in us being unable to adapt. Like IQ and EQ, we need to understand the Adaptability Quotient, or AQ, to succeed in our life. Be it a new relationship, a new role in life or a new workplace, we all need to adapt. If Charles Darwin was with us today, he would have said it’s “survival of the most adaptable“. In this session we will explore what AQ is and how it’s tied to our personal mental model. Our shared activities will help you learn how to identify your mental model and make it more adaptable.

This workshop is relevant for all leaders so they can be aware of mental models, help people expand their mental models and become more adaptable. Change is scary and uncomfortable and we need leaders to come forward and help people in this journey.
