  1. Hello, everyone.
  2. My name is Patrick Jane Nishio, and I'm going to
  3. be talking about my process through E.
  4. S P.
  5. One of three so far this semester and the important
  6. skills that we have learned as well.
  7. First, I want to talk about ambiguity.
  8. Ambiguity is defined as the quality of being open to
  9. more than one interpretation.
  10. In other words, it suggests that there are many different
  11. paths to take in order to find an answer.
  12. When looking at this from a business perspective, it is
  13. important to understand that this world could be described as
  14. vodka or volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
  15. With the business world constantly changing and evolving, I wanna
  16. learn how to embrace ambiguity and start to learn to
  17. think in different ways.
  18. In this vocal world, right answers aren't always clear.
  19. So being able to embrace ambiguity is the best way
  20. to find an answer.
  21. I used to see myself to someone who struggled with
  22. embracing the ambiguous.
  23. When we were introduced, the idea of ambiguity.
  24. I was definitely nervous about how I'd be able to
  25. understand it in a business sense.
  26. Then, throughout the lesson, I realized that embracing ambiguity is
  27. all about becoming comfortable with the unknown when proposed with
  28. the problem that could have many solutions.
  29. It is important to stay open minded and not close
  30. your mind to different ideas outside of your comfort zone.
  31. One video that stuck out to me was Patrice Martin,
  32. explaining the process of analysis she specifically states.
  33. A critical piece of embracing ambiguity is letting multiple ideas
  34. coexist simultaneously.
  35. This stuck out to me as a strategy to help
  36. me better develop my business skill of embracing ambiguity and
  37. improved my problem solving ability as well.
  38. Another thing that stuck out to me was trying not
  39. to be intolerant.
  40. Try ambiguity because it prevents us from accepting things that
  41. contradict with our own beliefs.
  42. Next, I want to touch on curiosity.
  43. Curiosity is defined as the recognition pursuit, an intense desire
  44. to explore novel, challenging and uncertain events.
  45. I'm looking a curiosity in the business world.
  46. This could mean many things being curious as a business
  47. professionals yet again, a crucial skill that employers now look
  48. for impossible employees.
  49. Building curiosity can help one improve other skills that you
  50. wouldn't think would be associated with curiosity.
  51. One skill that Boone be improved when working on curiosity
  52. is leadership.
  53. Curiosity spurs one not to conform to the bias of
  54. others and one's personal release.
  55. If you can step away from conformity in search for
  56. new ways to find alternative solutions, you can improve your
  57. work tremendously different from embracing ambiguity.
  58. Curiosity for me is something that I've been trying to
  59. improve right when I drink college.
  60. I always am trying to find you in alternative ways
  61. to solve problems.
  62. When entering one of three, I learned that there is
  63. still more than I need to learn about becoming a
  64. business. A curious business professional.
  65. Trying to put myself in other people's shoes is like
  66. to this skill.
  67. In an article from the Harvard Business Review, Francesca Gino
  68. describes curiosity has beneficial, saying encouraging people toe Be curious
  69. generates workplace improvements, later stating that studies have found that
  70. curiosity is associated with less defensive reactions to stress unless
  71. a great, less aggressive reactions to provocation.
  72. This struck out to me as I want to be
  73. someone who works well with others, and I now know
  74. that using curiosity can help me better communicate and be
  75. a team player I've been I've been becoming more curious
  76. when I have been doing things for other classes as
  77. well. Just the other day, when I was debating with
  78. my group, I used curiosity to try and put myself
  79. in my teammates shoes and better understand their views.
  80. This helped us work through our differences more smoothly, and
  81. we ended up finishing faster than before.
  82. Moving into another topic.
  83. Divergent thinking was difficult to grasp for May, as coming
  84. coming out of high school in high school were all
  85. taught that there is only one right answer.
  86. Throughout my experience in high school, I never got the
  87. chance to think dive urgently as I always took classes
  88. that were jacked in tow, one right way to do
  89. something. I was never really interested in art creative writing,
  90. so it was hard for me to try and develop
  91. thinking differently or creatively.
  92. The way to improve your divergent thinking is to suspend
  93. all judgment and let the mind flow and be relax.
  94. A great example of letting the mind relax and be
  95. free to new ideas was participating in the goose chase
  96. activity. This allowed me to explore different ways of doing
  97. tasks that I would have felt uncomfortable doing on a
  98. regular day.
  99. This activity really helped me get outside of my comfort
  100. zone. Trying to think of creative ways to express my
  101. ideas for one of the activities, I decided to wear
  102. my clothes backwards start today, sharing upto online classes with
  103. backwards. Hurry on.
  104. While this might seem silly, it was something that I
  105. actually enjoyed doing because it showed off my creative ideas
  106. about changing my appearance in the future.
  107. I plan to use my divergent thinking as a way
  108. to help create multiple solutions to problems.
  109. Also trying to use divergent thinking in everyday life, help
  110. solve simple problems and like make life even more interesting.
  111. Personally, I think risk, resilience and failure is the most
  112. important thing we've learned so far in this class.
  113. Throughout my life, fairly has always been something that I've
  114. been very scared off in school.
  115. We always taught that failing was not good.
  116. People who have got good grades were praised, and others
  117. that didn't do good were discouraged.
  118. Watching Professor Hollinger's videos on failure was extremely helpful in
  119. helping me understand what failure really is.
  120. Failure can help one become more resilient.
  121. Responsible can also help one take more risks and show
  122. that failure is actually a good thing.
  123. When reflecting on this activity, I am now more inclined
  124. to take risks because it will be better received than
  125. just taking easy route.
  126. Separating yourself from others and breaking conformity is what risk
  127. is all about.
  128. And if you fail, you can try, and eventually you
  129. will succeed with being only a couple weeks into the
  130. course. I now have tapped into some of my creative
  131. confidence. I will continue to use skills like embracing ambiguity,
  132. thinking curiously, trying divergent ideas, taking risks and not being
  133. able to scared to fail.
  134. I want to take more risks when it comes to
  135. ESPN, one of three.
  136. Try to get outside of my comfort zone to create
  137. more engaging projects and expand my creative mindset.
