You were taught how to do your job. But who taught you how to navigate the situations that come with it?
I’m Kamna Arora Sawhney, and I help early-career professionals build the workplace skills they need to handle real situations at work.
We’ll talk about communication, speaking up, handling expectations, collaborating, influencing, building credibility, communicating your contribution and growing professionally. 🚀
My approach is simple: start with a real situation, understand what’s really happening, break down the skill behind it, practise what to do and say, and apply it at work.
No generic advice. No theory for the sake of theory. Just practical, situation-based skill building for the real world of work. 🎯
If you’re 2–5 years into your career and want to get better at navigating work, you’re in the right place.
Subscribe and let’s build the skills you were never taught. ✨

Ever spent more time planning something than actually doing it?
The perfect routine, the perfect course, the perfect strategy… there's always one more thing to figure out before starting.
Planning helps. But sometimes, overthinking and waiting for the perfect moment can keep us from making progress.
Whether you're learning a new skill, exploring a career change or working towards a personal goal, try taking one small, practical step today.
You can always improve the plan along the way. 🌻

Have you ever answered a question at work…
…and then added another sentence?
And another.
And maybe one more, just to make sure you were understood.
Sometimes we call this being thorough.
But sometimes, we’re not adding useful information.
We’re filling the silence.
A pause after you’ve spoken can feel surprisingly uncomfortable at work—especially when you’re speaking to your manager, answering a senior colleague, explaining a decision, or trying to sound competent.
So we keep going.
We explain the reasoning.
Then the background.
Then why we made that choice.
Then something else, just in case.
But if you’re wondering how to stop overexplaining at work, the answer isn’t simply “say less.”
Because sometimes more context is necessary.
The better question is:
Does this person actually need more information — or am I adding it because I’m uncomfortable stopping?
That distinction matters.
Clear workplace communication is also knowing when your point has been made.
When more context will help.
When clarification is needed.
And when your answer is already enough.
A pause doesn’t automatically mean your answer was weak.
Silence doesn’t always need to be filled.
And a concise response doesn’t have to be rude or incomplete.
Good professional communication isn’t about saying as little as possible.
It’s about judgement.
Say what the situation needs.
Then give the other person space to respond.
Do you ever catch yourself continuing to explain after you’ve already made your point?

Which interaction do you use most often in your eLearning projects?
I'd love to hear which interactions work best for you and why.

Flashcards can be useful in eLearning, but they are not the right interaction for every learning objective.
They work particularly well when the learner needs to recall, recognize, or reinforce information.
The design decision should start with the learning objective, and then move to the interaction.
I have demonstrated a simple Flashcards interaction in Articulate Rise in my latest video.
