About our courses
If you’ve been on a course that was dull or uninformative; if delegates left it ill-equipped to put the fundamentals into practice from that moment forward – the “takeaways” as we call them – then the course was NOT one of ours. Groups, seminars, one-to-ones: here’s what we teach.
Presentation Skills
Presenting ourselves, our company, our case. It’s what we’re all doing all of the time. This comprehensive suite of courses is about doing these things properly and confidently – and getting the results we want.
• Presenting
• Pitching Skills
• Body Language
• Anger Management
• Assertiveness Training
• Essential Communication Skills
Leadership Development
Working Voices’ leadership development programmes focus on your managers – the people who hold the key to making your business successful and profitable. Ours is a suite of UNIQUE and proven one-to-one coaching techniques and team-building exercises.
• One-to-one Leadership Programmes
• The Chi * of Success
• Leadership Unplugged
• Coach the Coach
( * The circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much of Chinese philosophy and medicine.)
Voice Coaching
Your voice says masses about you, face-to-face, on the phone or by voicemail. It might say good humour, energy, gravitas. It might say dull, uninterested, impatient. And, of course, it might say nothing at all if it is unclear or unintelligible. These courses deal with all the pitfalls.
• The Perfect Voicemail
• Speaking English Clearly for Business
• Making The Most Of Your Voice
Writing Skills
Today’s business writers write for the screen – and good screen-writing requires a new set of skills. We show you how to make your writing “screen-friendly”: easy to scan, easy to grasp, easy to action, easy to archive.
• Effective Business Writing
• Effective Report Writing
• Writing Effective Emails
Image Management
Look the best you can, every day. The clothes you wear, the way you wear them, the colours you choose. Savvy women realise that it’s part of their workplace weaponry. Savvy men realise that good grooming is a perfectly legitimate “male thing”. We’ll show how looking good is easy.
• Visual Impact in the Workplace
• Exclusive Personal Image Day
• Image Management
Cultural Diversity
No two people or businesses are the same. Our cultural diversity courses highlight how diversity within and outside your organisation can create opportunity and not division, when it is handled and managed properly.
• Communicating Across Cultures
• Cultural Awareness
• Embracing Diversity
Memory Techniques
The better your memory, the greater your ability to think on your feet and the greater your confidence. Think about it – then think about your performance at meetings or when you make presentations. We teach brain-training strategies that will give you the memory you want.
• Total Recall
• Power-up Your Memory
• Memories Are Made Of This

What is the difference between interpersonal skills and communication skills?
Can anyone tell me the difference. It seems like there’s a fine line, but I’m not so sure where one ends and the other begins.
I am taking an interpersonal communications class at college.
Interpersonal is when you have a conversation with a person one on one, or talking with people in a small group. It’s also more personal.
communication skills is when you can present to big groups. You know how to talk and are good at it.
In what ways does play help to improve childre’s imagination and foster interpersonal skills?
children learn through playing, you should let your children to use their toys and you have to be involved in their play because when they build up the blocks, when they are finished you have to congratulate them and by doing so you boost their self esteem and they will want to do it again.
childern also learn to solve their problems on their own because when the is a bucket full of water, they will throw a toy and the bucket will colapse , next time when they want to throw a toy on the bucket they will realise that yesturday the watei spilled on the bucket and they will not do it again without beind there to scold at them
