Meet our Topical Talk skills

Receiving, retaining and processing information.

If you’re good at listening, you’ll be able to follow instructions and ask the right questions to make sure you truly understand what people are telling you. You’ll also learn how to take great notes and spot when someone is trying to change your mind or use a specific tone to get their point across.

Transmitting information or ideas.

If you’re good at speaking, you’ll be able to share your ideas clearly with friends and groups by using facts, gestures and the right words for your audience. As you get better at this skill, you will learn to handle difficult topics sensitively and speak in a way that engages people, eventually becoming a leader who can negotiate and inspire others.

Finding solutions to challenges.

If you’re good at problem-solving, you’ll be able to find the information you need and come up with several smart solutions by looking at the pros and cons of each one. You will also learn to spot patterns and causes, which helps you build solid plans to fix tricky issues and keep learning as you go.

Using imagination and generating new ideas.
If you’re good at being creative, you’ll be able to imagine new things and combine different ideas to make something even better than before. You’ll also learn how to test your ideas with quick versions called prototypes and keep an open mind so you can turn your wildest thoughts into real, successful inventions.
