  • Priorities change mid-day

The professional response pattern

  • Acknowledge receipt within minutes
  • Clarify scope in one consolidated message
  • Confirm order and timelines
  • Report progress before being asked

Trainer-led practicum note

  • This day is a trainer-led integration session
