‘I would thoroughly recommend you consider running the ‘Time Management with Outlook” course for your colleagues. It’s a course I believe the whole hotel group would benefit from. The time it will save you and the confidence it will give you will be well worth the investment.’
Matthew Young, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Canberra

Check out below this FREE video tutorial preview of our ‘Time Management with Outlook’ program

Just the tool of email alone is costing organisations thousands of dollars per year without the proper skills and policies in place  (which 90% of organisations do NOT have)

We’ve had the privilege of training over five thousand people in how to combine time management principles with technology to save valuable time, money and energy

‘Time Management with Microsoft Outlook’ is a workshop designed to help you use the tool of Microsoft Outlook to improve your productivity skills.

You will learn specific processes and strategies that you can apply immediately to help improve your productivity.

You do NOT need to be an I.T. guru to gain new skills in a short time frame. There won’t be heavy technical jargon. Rather it will be a hands-on workshop designed to give you skills in how to make Microsoft Outlook work for you as a time management tool.

Feedback from other clients we’ve run this training for

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.

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.
