IMPACT LEARNING

Learning How to Adapt (Maria on Mic)

Episode Summary

Today, Maria is back on the mic to talk about How You Can Adapt to the current situation and start preparing for the future! The COVID-19 pandemic has created not only massive change but also tremendous uncertainty and ambiguity. Will we be able to enjoy travelling and dining out again? How will our industry and business be impacted in the long-run? How will the crisis affect our jobs and retirement? We are all concerned and overwhelmed with fear and stress. If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. Charles Darwin famously said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change.” Today, Maria I shares with us the lessons she’s learnt from those who master ambiguity and uncertainty and through her personal experience as a corporate leader, and today an entrepreneur and freelancer. Tune in to learn what actually goes into adapting to change!
