Shift from seeing something as a ‘difficulty’ to whether

a strength is ‘helpful or ‘unhelpful’ at that moment

❑ Rigid ‘Determined Donkey’ thinking is unhelpful when it comes to compromise,

teamwork, shifting tasks and adapting to change.

❑ However, it is really helpful when sticking up for what is fair or following through

with something you are really interested in achieving.

❑ It is also an advantage when sticking to a cause or principle. Think Rosa Parks or
Greta Thunberg and their rigidity in standing up for urgent causes. 11
