How Adaptability Can Help You Grow Your Career

About this session

What’s your AQ?

Adaptability Quotient (AQ) is one of the most important factors in your professional journey, yet it remains one of the least talked about..

Your AQ level determines how you adjust to change in real-time, how fluid you are with your experiences, how you overcome challenges, and ultimately how successful you are in your work environment. In fact, leaders with a high AQ level are better able to support the needs of a changing and growing business – and adaptable leaders are in high demand!

That’s why Helix’s Andrea Clarkson (Head of Recruitment) will be joining us to talk about the importance of the Adaptability Quotient, how she has used it to help companies flourish during times of hypergrowth, and how you can use it to advance your own career.

In this chat we’ll discuss:

  • What AQ is and how to identify your AQ level
  • How your AQ level affects your career growth
  • How to sharpen your adaptability skills
