After the communication skills workshop, Mr. Perera organizes a problem-solving activity. The team is
given a complex problem related to a client's marketing campaign and is asked to work together to identify
the root cause of the problem, analyze the available information, and develop a solution. The activity
encourages the team to apply critical reasoning and thinking skills to come up with effective solutions. Mr.
Perera provides feedback and guidance to the team to help them develop their problem-solving skills.

and dynamics of working within a team. The expert provides practical tips on how to build effective teams,
such as setting clear goals, creating a positive work environment, and encouraging open communication.

encourages his team to participate in training and development programs, attend industry events, and read
relevant literature to enhance their skills and knowledge. He also discusses the benefits of pursuing further
education and training to advance their careers and contribute to the success of the agency.

At the end of the two-day training event, Mr. Perera evaluates the effectiveness of the training and
