Presentation Title: Personal Agility: Success and the Agile Mindset
We hear a lot about personal agility, yet what does it mean to be agile? In today's fast-changing world, an agile mindset is more important than ever. Those who succeed post-COVID-19 cannot afford to become overwhelmed by uncertainty.
We can beat overwhelm by applying 3 aspects of agile frameworks: 1) focus on what's important, 2) accomplish something now and 3) take time to reflect.
Personal agility is an extension of the agile principles we already apply to software development: Set well-defined objectives, put together an action plan based on achievable accomplishments and move forward with actions we can take now. Through accomplishment, we learn from real-life feedback and decide whether to continue or pivot.
