The art of explaining concepts and information is covered in four key steps about engagement, structure, maintaining interest and ensuring understanding. While Carol is impatient and patronizing with new starters, others like Sam, Alex, Steve and Michael are more patient and creative in ensuring their messages are understood one to one or in groups.
Four steps are used to demonstrate effective communication skills when explaining.
Step 1: Positively engage the listener. Carol loses patience when explaining basic concepts to Carlos and Tammy, so delegates to Sam who is calm and engaging.
Step 2: How to be clear and structured with your communication.Serena explains this through structuring your message with a definitive beginning middle and end.
Step 3: Maintain interest. Alex is able to demonstrate through the use of a phone App how you can maintain people's interest by using visual and technological aids.
Step 4: Be patient and ensure understanding. Sam demonstrates patience and understanding; ensuring information is understood through repetition and clarification.

Staff must question strangers, check ID and speak up if they see something.
Marcus reports the sad news to the team that Casey's pet ferret's ashes were stolen from her desk. Serena points out that nothing in the office is safe. Carol asks Carlos if he checks visitors' identification and notices that he is not being rigorous about this. Dion tests Carlos with a weak disguise but Carol secretly arranges for an attractive friend, Marlene, to approach Carlos at reception and flatter him into letting her use the restroom without ID. Carlos falls for the bait; Marlene slips into the office and swipes several important items. When the theft is discovered, Marcus and Serena call an emergency meeting. Although most noticed a tall strange woman in the office, no one asked her who she was or why she was there. Carol produces the 'stolen' items, and introduces Marlene. The team discusses the importance of keeping valuables locked up and asking for proof of identification. If you see something, say something. Then Marlene – wearing a wig and glasses – tries again, but Carlos doesn't allow her in this time. Marcus proposes his security measure: that everyone wears badges. Serena congratulates Carol on revealing the weakness of their office security. Marcus and Serena sing a security message.

Avoid defensiveness, be open to receiving and give specific balance feedback.
Marcus leads a team meeting to develop positive feedback approaches, but Carol presents Serena with a less-than-glowing critique. Tammy praises Casey for her support but asks her to avoid telling long stories. Dion commends Carlos for being approachable, but worries that he has encouraged Carlos' tendency to make jokes about women in the office. Sanjay welcomes Sam's endorsement of his opinions, but says Sam's noisy breathing interferes with his ability to concentrate. Throughout the session, Marcus recommends welcoming feedback, staying calm and not defensive, openly discussing the problem and its impact on performance, linking the feedback to rules and agreements, asking the other person for their view and suggestions for solutions, and listening. Sam later gives Michael feedback, thanking him but also criticizing his negative tendencies, and recommends that he be more constructive. Michael praises Sam for his policy-writing skills, but deplores his habit of bringing up their personal lives during work hours. Both agree to work on their faults. Marcus advises the team to be open to feedback, but postpones the team's opportunity to assess him.

Steve and Paul Garrison negotiate a large contract to provide services to Paul's company. Steve wants to provide a cost effective service based outside Australia but Paul disagrees. Steve acknowledges the concerns but nearly loses the deal when Serena is brought into the equation, and an angry Paul comes back to confront them. Steve finally reassures Paul the Australian deal will proceed. Steve and Paul Garrison negotiate a large contract to provide services in Australia. Steve wants to provide the most cost effective service and suggests that the operation be based in a country other than Australia in order to reduce costs. Paul tells Steve several times that this is not acceptable to him, and finally Steve acknowledges the concerns and suggests that an operation be established in Australia with Serena relocating to head up the operation. Paul is uneasy about what he perceives to be Serena's attraction to him. Steve and Carol both assure him this will not be a problem. Later Paul arrives at the office very angry as he believes the agreement is off. Steve asks him what the problem is and despite the inappropriate setting and interjections from Carlos, Steve eventually assures Paul the Australian operation will go ahead and he will confirm this in writing very quickly.

Serena is inspired to apologize to Carol and wants a Sorry Day at Cutting Edge. They discuss different forms of sorry including the empathy. Sam and Michael take time out to work on their apologies for ongoing disputes, but they argue about how to apologize. Carol tells Serena about what she believes to be a very useful tool, the 'fake sorry'. Carol thinks she rarely has to apologize for anything because she says she thinks before she acts. Serena apologizes to Carol for various things such as arriving unexpectedly at the office, and wants to introduce a Sorry Day into the office where people could apologize for all sorts of things. Serena describes various ways of saying sorry including the empathy sorry which is 'I'm sorry you feel that way, and what can I do to help the situation.' Sam and Michael have relationship issues that have escalated into the workplace. Sam apologizes to Michael for having thrown his picture out when he was angry with some of Michael's behavior. Sanjay on the other hand never really apologizes to anyone because he believes he is always right. Michael and Sam continue to bicker about how and why each of them should apologize, with Michael missing the point about why Sam is angry and why he should apologize. Carol tells Serena about what she believes to be a very useful tool, the ‘fake sorry’ which is totally insincere.
