Last week I gave a fun virtual motivational speech<\/a> for leaders from RBC. The theme was around one of their values<\/a>: “Adapt Quickly and Always Learn”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I like this value. It’s a catchy reminder of how to respond to challenges (and we all face challenges these days). It also encapsulates a vital attitude for expeditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Rob\r\n
Pulling my cart in the desert of death<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, in my session we talked about:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

– hauling a cart through a 1,000 km maze of desert. It involved adapting to learn how to navigate & survive (see video!). It’s the same in work, when we face new challenges, if we keep adapting and learning, we will make progress and get to the end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

– another example was after I faced a close call with heatstroke<\/a>. I had to adapt to a more sustainable routine so I took breaks in the heat of the day, and hauled in the cooler hours. It’s the same at work – sometimes we must change our routine to gain resilience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

– Feeling overwhelmed by the distance I still had to go was another challenge. Here, I adapted my mindset from thinking about my end or even my daily goal, to focus on taking 10 more steps<\/a>. When overwhelmed, focusing on “the next right thing” is very empowering.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Adapt quickly and always learn” sounds nice, but isn’t easy. But with perseverance, if we keep trying, gradually it becomes natural!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
