Description

Professional skills aren’t just about doing your job well, they’re also about how you communicate, collaborate, and handle tricky situations.

In this session, we’ll explore:
- Subtle workplace etiquette rules that can strengthen or damage relationships
- How to communicate clearly and respectfully, even when saying “no”
- Ways to follow up, share access, or reschedule without creating tension

This will be an insightful, practical discussion where you’ll reflect on your own experiences, share strategies, and learn language to navigate professional settings more confidently.
