 adaptability
Adaptability is a soft skill that means
you easily adjust to change in
circumstances. An adaptable person
can keep up with moving priorities,
projects, plans, and technology.

Adaptability is the ability to adjust

and change in response to new
situations or challenges.
It's an important skill that can help
people be successful in life and leadership.

Allen Klein's wife died from a rare liver

disease at age 34. He loved her
immensely and got so devastated that
he began to see life differently.

His wife and the life he had with her

were what he lived for.
 After her death, he didn't know what
to do. He felt like his life was going
downhill.

He sank into depression to the point

that he left his company, the company
he worked so hard to build, to his partner.

Then he started going to clubs that

featured stand-up comedies. And that
was when he realized how humor
significantly helped alleviate his grief.

So he researched some more about

the subject. He was so impressed by
what he learned — by how powerful
humor is — that he decided to write
stories and books about it.

His first story, The Healing Power of

Humor, became a best-seller primarily
because of how helpful it is to other
 people who are coping with grief. It
has even been translated into a ninth
language!

His success as an author is how he

found himself smiling again. 10 years
ago, he never would've imagined himself
to be in his current place. But he knows
that things change and sometimes,
the best course of action is to adapt
to them

Here are some tips for

adaptability:

Be open-minded: Be willing to try new

things and consider different
perspectives.

Be flexible: Be willing to change your

plans or approach if something isn't
working.
Be resilient: Don't give up when things
get tough. Instead, try to find new
solutions or ways to overcome challenges.

Learn from your mistakes: Don't be

afraid to make mistakes, because they
can be great learning opportunities.

Embrace change: Change is a natural

part of life, and being able to adapt to
change can help you be more successful.

Remember, being adaptable can help

you be more successful in life by helping
you overcome challenges and stay
open to new opportunities.

Inspiring quotes about

adaptability:

know when you find it."
- Steve Jobs

"The secret of change is to focus all

of your energy, not on fighting the old,
