The effects of IDG course on our life

After taking the IDG course, I felt really good. It gave me a deeper understanding of how we can set different goals and make positive changes in our lives to get the outcomes we want. But then, as I read through posts from other people in the course forums, I started thinking more about Nonviolent Communication (NVC). I noticed how some people were really open to challenging perspectives, while others preferred views that matched their own ideas. Seeing how others were inspired by collaboration and used it in their daily lives made me realize that I hadn’t fully grasped everything the course had to offer.
So, I decided to go through the course again, but this time I really took my time to dive deeper into the concepts. I began to understand that if someone truly knows who they are, understands their core values, and works on their relationship with themselves and others, it’s like they have a clear road map to a fulfilling life. When you combine this with collaborative learning, improving your thinking, and taking action to make meaningful changes, everything becomes clearer and more positive.
In the end, it feels like life can be more fulfilling and purposeful when you understand these basics and actively use them to improve yourself and your relationships
I want to know everyone else opinion on how they are doing the following
How can we balance being true to our core values while also being flexible and adaptable to new ideas or situations?
In what ways can practicing collaborative learning and improving our communication skills positively impact our personal growth and relationships?
