Adaptability in a Changing World

Introduction — Change is the only constant. Technology evolves, industries shift, and life throws unexpected challenges. Those who resist change get left behind; those who embrace adaptability thrive.

Story / Analogy — Consider businesses during a crisis. Some cling to old models and collapse. Others pivot quickly — moving online, innovating products, or shifting strategies — and not only survive but grow. Adaptability is the difference between decline and progress.
