Make a skills plan

Pick a workplace and a skill and get a plan: workdays to try, small real-world practice steps, tools and further learning (free and paid options), and one next move. Start with a suggestion, or choose your own.

Workdays to walk through

  1. Workday 01 · Reply All

    Monday · 8:52 AM

    You sent one message late Friday to close out a loose end. By Monday morning it has been forwarded to nine people, and not one of them read it the way you meant it.

    Where accountability shows up: An email sent to the wrong audience needs addressing with both a manager and the client.

  2. Workday 02 · Nobody Said No

    Wednesday · 9:40 AM

    Denise hands you a brief and disappears into back-to-back calls. Nobody tells you the wrong thing. Nobody tells you the right thing either.

  3. Workday 03 · The Deadline That Won't Move

    Monday · 10:15 AM

    Marcus's copy for the Dunmore relaunch isn't coming by Wednesday, and you're the one who knows it first. The question isn't whether to tell someone. It's who, and when.

Practice steps

Choose a step that fits your situation. Mark a step when you have tried it in a setting that fits your life — at work, in a class, while volunteering, caregiving, in your community or in a practice conversation. Nobody is grading this.
