 # Learning Agility = Thriving in a rapidly changing environment requires the ability to learn quickly and adapt. People who embrace continuous learning, seek out new knowledge, and are open to change tend to thrive during disruptions.
 # Resilience = Disruption often brings challenges, setbacks, and uncertainty. Resilient individuals bounce back from adversity, maintain a positive outlook, and persevere even when faced with obstacles³.
