This resource contains various phone call situations written on role play cards that occur at work. It also contains a set of blank cards for learners to make up their own scenarios as well as message pad templates. Learners can role play situations and practice their telephone answering skills.
It is important that the person answering the call uses correct telephone etiquette and takes down the message accurately.
They can be used as part of or a whole lesson on telephone etiquette, which is an important customer service skill.
Instructions:
1. Use the Word document to make any changes to the scenarios. Go straight to 2 if no changes are required.
2. Print out as many copies of page 3 as you need. (Will depend on number of pairs).
3. Cut out with scissors or guillotine
4. Page 5 contains phone message pads. Use them to take messages.
To do the activity, all you need is two students, one with paper and pen for taking a message. Have your students sit back to back so they cannot use non-verbal cues to understand what their partner is saying. That way the role-play will be more like a real telephone conversation.

This is an excellent resource to use for groups of people that have just come together, as a class or as a project team. It consists of an interactive powerpoint presentation that introduces the topic of values and starts the thought process of what values really are and why they are so important to identify on a personal and group level.
The resource also contains a three page worksheet that has over 50 values listed. The group go through and identify their own values and then as a team agree on the top 5 values going forward. This is a great bonding exercise and allows the group to identify their own values and beliefs instead of having a teacher and / or facilitator imposing them on them. It is also a good team building activity that tests their negotiation skills.
Sets the stage for an excellent learning programme to commence with motivated learners.

This resource is a Powerpoint Presentation that can be used to train people on how to write emails effectively. I have used this on a leadership course and it was well received. There are some time saving gems in here that can be easily implemented into your work day. There are also tasks that can be completed in pairs or groups. Lots of areas for discussion. Also a good opportunity for businesses to think about and discuss best practice for their own organisation.
The average office worker receives around 80 emails each day. With that volume of mail, individual messages can easily get overlooked. Follow these simple rules to get your emails noticed and acted upon:
Don't over communicate by email.
Make good use of subject lines.
Keep messages clear and brief.
Be polite.
Check your tone.
Proofread.
