Lunch & Rethink | Essential skills that AI can’t replace

In this new, exciting programme of online, bite-size webinars, we will explore the importance of essential skills in our personal behaviour and business life, areas that AI can’t replace.

Essential skills in business are the personal, social, and communication abilities that influence how we work, interact, and succeed with others - rather than just the technical tasks we can perform. They determine how effectively we connect with colleagues or customers, how we handle complex workplace situations and how they can help us succeed and grow.

These sessions are designed to help you:

• strengthen communication and listening skills
• improve self-awareness and emotional intelligence
• work more effectively with others
• respond constructively to change and pressure
• build confidence in leadership and decision-making

Key examples of business essential skills include:

• Communication – clear speaking, writing, and active listening
• Emotional intelligence – self-awareness, empathy, managing emotions
• Teamwork & collaboration – working well with diverse people
• Adaptability – handling change, learning quickly
• Problem-solving & critical thinking – analysing situations and making sound decisions
• Time management – prioritising tasks and meeting deadlines
• Leadership & influence – motivating, guiding, and resolving conflict

Why are essential skills so important in business?

• They improve productivity and teamwork
• They support effective leadership and customer relations
• They are often a key factor in career advancement
• They are critical for business success and growth
