Overview
The main tool of communication at work is the voice; and yet, of the workplace skills, the effective use of the voice is easily the least understood, and under utilised. The two day workshops offered are strongly focused on understanding and using the voice; they are highly experiential, thoroughly enjoyable and have proved to be a transformative experience for those who participate.
Debra Lawrance is a trained actor who graduated from NIDA in 1977, and has since worked, extensively and continuously, in theatre, film and television. In recent years she has been teaching communication skills to clients from across all sectors of the work force.
