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.

Communication at The Cormorant
Saying what you mean in a way the other person can actually use.
Add this focus to my Spark guideNot the same as: Being talkative. A short, clear message from a quiet person is strong communication.
Workdays to walk through
Workday 01 · The Allergy Table
Saturday · 7:40 PM
Table twelve asks if the chowder has shellfish in it. You think you know. Thinking isn't good enough tonight.
Where communication shows up: A guest asks whether the chowder is safe for someone with a shellfish allergy.
Workday 02 · The Slow Tuesday
Tuesday · 2:15 PM
Three tables all day. The silverware is already polished. Denise is somewhere in the building deciding who she still needs.
Workday 03 · The End-of-Season Conversation
Saturday · 4:00 PM
Denise wants to talk about hours, your final paycheck, and whether there's a place for you here past this month.
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.
