Course Description
Are you comfortable when faced with changes at your job? Can you “think on your feet” to provide solutions to problems shortly after they arise? Do people tell you, “You’re so creative”? Or do you avoid new situations whenever you can? In an ever-evolving society, the ability to adapt to new or changing circumstances is in high demand—especially in today’s workforce. Adaptability is essential to being a healthy and productive individual since it helps you think differently when facing difficult situations, drawing on your creativity, innovation, and problem-solving to find novel solutions. An Adaptability Quotient can be learned and enhanced with practice.

You’ll be introduced to the Adaptability Quotient (AQ), a series of qualities that indicate a person’s ability to adapt to any situation, and the relationship between adaptability, emotion, and intelligence in managing change. Finally, you'll learn about the qualities of highly adaptable people and the process of enhancing your Adaptability Quotient.
