Summary:

"Grow Your Adaptability Skills In a world that's always changing, how we respond to uncertainty and adapt often determines our success-or failure. Those who demonstrate the resilience, flexibility, and versatility demanded of them will distinguish themselves personally and professionally. Adaptability in Talent Development is your opportunity to learn more about how well you overcome adversity and how you can grow your adaptability skills. From reacting to unplanned modifications in the training you designed, to implementing new learning technologies, to adjusting to the shifting needs of their organizations, talent development professionals face countless situations that test their ability to adapt. These skills will serve you in your leadership capability, your career potential, and your working relationships. Author Esther Jackson takes you through a process of raising your self-awareness and developing an adaptive mindset. This means embracing feedback, recognizing your mistakes, and turning them into learning and development moments. You will discover ways to get out of your comfort zone, welcome chances to innovate or disrupt, and embrace new projects. By the end, you will be equipped to level up your talent development efforts and adapt your career for whatever comes next. Part of the ATD Soft Skills Series, Adaptability in Talent Development will empower you to build career resiliency by matching your technical expertise with newfound soft skill abilities.
