Day 5 of the onedotzero_cascade programme kicked off with a soft skills workshop led by actors Darren Hart and Sharona Sassoon. They prepared an impressive workshop that focused on the importance of communication, listening and working together to help maximize the performance of your group. The workshop included a set of exercises and a breathing technique that is used to relieve nerves by using your diaphragm — an exercise I am still trying to master!

Darren and Sharona wrapped up the soft skills session with a some key points to remember when you are presenting in a team:

1. communicate and listen
2. share your presence
3. feed off each others positive energy
4. support and help each other

After the workshop, John Nussey from Kin joined onedotzero_cascade in the afternoon to talk to each of the groups and discuss their progress and answer any questions.
