When we talk about skills like “active listening,” “feedback,” and “collaboration,” it often feels like we’re treading over familiar ground. The mere mention might provoke some eye rolls or a mental chorus of “here we go again.” Despite this, it’s undeniable that abilities in communication, teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity are highly valued in the workplace, crucial for both attracting and keeping talent.

These skills all share common elements—clear communication, a positive mindset, and a deep understanding of others’ perspectives.

Rest assured, this won’t be a session about mastering the art of the feedback sandwich—a concept as appetising as stale bread. Nor will we default to the mundane provision of actual sandwiches from the office catering menu. Instead, we’re here to unpack these concepts in a way that’s as engaging and refreshing as your favourite lunch spot. Let’s rejuvenate these critical skills with actionable strategies, ensuring they become tools for empowerment rather than subjects of dread.
