- {{skill_focus}} — the soft skill to develop (e.g., communication, collaboration, time management)
- {{team_context}} — the team or department involved, including any specific challenges
- {{training_duration}} — the length of the training (e.g., half-day, weekly sessions)
Instructions

- Avoid exercises that require expensive materials or extensive prep.
