You are completing an in-tray exercise and realize you have only 10 minutes left but still have five items to address. What should you do first?

Triage by urgency and impact ensures high-priority issues are handled even when time is limited.
A colleague asks you to cover for them by telling the assessor they submitted a group task when they did not participate. What do you do?

Encouraging honest disclosure respects the integrity of the assessment without immediately escalating the situation.

Staying calm and demonstrating empathy de-escalates tension and shows emotional intelligence.
You are asked to present a five-minute solution to a business case. You have prepared a thorough answer but it will take ten minutes to deliver. What should you do?
