"Thanks again for running the Outlook for Time Management training session this morning.  You exceeded my expectations and I can speak on behalf of everyone else that we will be putting into practice many of the tips and tricks of using Outlook into our everyday work.  THQ relies heavily on Outlook, we are a global company and there is a constant stream of emails and meetings being held in different time zones.  Our staff spend so much time using Outlook that we thought there may be quicker and easier ways to get things done.  Improving efficiency was my overall objective of this training.

Your focus was not on the basics of using the software but on the tips, tricks and time saving features.  This session is not for everyone initially, employees need to have a reasonable understanding of the software and be using it before your session could really be valuable, which was the case for our staff.

Of particular value was the use of tasks, capturing the old paper ‘to do list’ in Outlook and using this feature to connect with calendar and email seamlessly.  There are many more great tips and tricks but I could go on and on, but I’ll just say that it provided great benefit to our staff so thank you.  My only regret is that we should have organized this sooner."

"I had already changed my preference to open Calendar in the mornings.  It makes such a difference to how I now start my day.   I am also pleased to say the only email in my inbox is yours!!  I transferred 19 emails to “tasks” out of 197 emails.  The rest I filed accordingly and I feel more in control.

I believe everyone gained a great deal from your training sessions – thanks again."

Yesterday’s presentation to the Personal Assistants of our CEO Circle members was excellent.  I thought I was taking a risk in combining a “thank you” lunch with some professional development.  Wonderful to relate, I was much mistaken.

Even though this group of people are senior in the PA world, they indicated they were looking forward to the occasion and the session on email management.  On the day, what was even more important than the fact that intellectually they were ready to receive a message, you actually made the process very enjoyable for all of us. You wowed them with your humour, your wonderful little analogies which made the information even more relevant, your energy  and as importantly, you were so generous in your approach to sharing, that if you were promoting yourself to them for future engagements, it was subtle – you let the message speak for itself.

Well done – sincere appreciation from The CEO Circle, Melbourne.
