"I had a coworker who was trying hard to explain a new system they'd envisioned for a work process, but they were having a great deal of difficulty communicating conceptually. So I advised them to create a presentation and gave them some tips on how to build it out. They ran with this advice and were able to articulate their thoughts well. Even though our leadership didn't adopt their plans, it helped them better articulate how to communicate conceptually, and eventually, they no longer needed the visuals to get their points across."

"We're constantly trying to find better ways to get things done and to bring out the best in ourselves and others. Questions change per position but always focus on how you handled various work situations in the past. So, think about it and be ready to share specific situations that you've been in where you had to use certain skills, such as decision-making, teamwork, problem-solving, communication, etc. Learn something new from someone who's different from you. Come up with ideas. Write them down. Ask why - and why not?! Pick each other's brain. Exchange ideas. Make plans. Make them happen. Invite someone new into the conversation. Share stories about recent trips or discoveries. Get an update on that meeting you missed while you were away."
