Join us in making the workplace less hectic and interrupt driven, more satisfying and results driven instead. We work and live in an era of interruptions. The very moment you begin a task, you are stopped by emails, IM's, colleague visits, phone calls, meetings, and now, tweets and Facebook updates. We are bombarded by an unprecedented information overload which puts unreasonable demands on our work and personal lives. This needs to stop.
 
We invite you to join us in this movement. In this session we will show you the most innovative and powerful techniques that will help you and your team develop new skills for managing interruptions and for getting e-mail under control!

In this interactive online live session, we will discuss the fundamentals of conducting effective meetings online and offline, as well as new and innovative techniques that can enhance meeting results. The session includes case studies that involve audience participation. Key topics include:

  • Creating the perfect agenda
  • Handling interactions skillfully
  • Tracking issues and action items
  • Using online meeting and collaboration tools
  • Adopting a strategic approach to meetings

While this workshop is ideal for users who have recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010, it is also valuable for those who want to take their Microsoft Office skills to the next level. In this condensed session, users learn powerful techniques that can help them save time, present information in a compelling way, analyze data and extract important business insights, and collaborate more effectively with others.

We start with PowerPoint to demonstrate templates, themes, and layouts, then to Excel to see some of the powerful lists and reports capabilities, and Word for some advanced styles and formatting tips, and finally some useful overall options and preferences.
