Our Story

Inside Voice™ is an idea that grew out of that year when so many teams were split apart and forced back together in different ways. Some thrived, while others struggled and we started wondering why.

Teams work better when people are having fun. People get more done when aiming at a common goal and things don’t go so well if there isn’t mutual trust, respect and kindness.

These things are obvious. So how do you build them?

That question kicked-off a flurry of research. Management Theory, Positive Psychology, Behavioural Economics; reading, watching, listening, learning, talking, thinking, and Inside Voice™ was born.

It’s about people.

Why does anyone do what they do? Work is just work, right? Well, it might be for some. But the people say they love what they do nearly always say it because of the people they work with. It’s all about team.

So what exactly is a team? It’s a collection of great people with compatible skills working together to do brilliant things.

But what’s the secret of a tight team? Is it the people? Is it leadership? Is it something else? We think there’s more to a tight team than great players and a smart coach.

The spirit of teamwork runs deeper. It’s about trust and understanding, shared values and different personalities. Knowing what you bring, and where you’re heading and how you can do this stuff together to empower the people you work with.

Inside Voice™ explores different ideas to build on the brilliant, work on the work-ons and unlock the magic in teams.

Why call it Inside Voice™?

Every organisation has different voices - its leaders, its brand, its customers and communications. They all build reputation and aim at common goals. But the most powerful voice in any group is the voice of its people.

This is the ‘Inside Voice’. The teams of humans are the ones who make the magic. They look after customers, develop new products, smooth out systems - you name it. No business is in business without its people. And the better they work together, the better the business will work.

Inside Voice™ is here to help that happen. From our fast, fun workshops, to one-on-one coaching and speaking engagements. And our tips, tools and ideas are snackable, shareable and most of all helpful – all designed to unlock more magic in teams.
