Mindset Shift: Adaptability is NOT About Giving Up

Some people confuse adaptability with being flaky. True adaptability comes from a place of strength.

It’s easy to feel scattered, lacking direction, if you’re constantly changing things up.

  • Know your core values: Your true north, the things that guide you no matter what the market does.
  • Adapt your METHODS, not your vision: The goal stays big picture, how you get there is fluid.
  • Data drives change: Are you pivoting from gut feeling, or hard evidence?
  • Learn to ‘unbuild’: What’s working less well that you need to let go of to make space for the new?
  • Document your journey: Patterns in your adaptations reveal strengths you didn’t know you had.
  • Self-care IS adaptable: You can’t be flexible when you’re burnt out and rigid in your own habits.
