How to Manage Your Email Inbox
What do you hate about email? The most common complaint we hear is that email can take over your day – you open Outlook and before you know it, it’s 4pm and you’ve not achieved anything on your ‘to do’ list for the day.
In response, we have created this half-day course to give you a radical new approach to your email that will help you to free up time for the big things you want to achieve. It will also leave you with the technical skills to deal with your emails more efficiently, so you feel in control.
Our next interactive online session is 19th September.

Upcoming Leadership and Personal Development Live Online Public Courses
Introduction to Project Management
Suddenly everything is a project.
And yet very few people are taught the basic project management skills required to stand a chance of success.

Dealing With Difficult People
A question we will explore on this course: Is it who people are, or is it what they do? And how could this distinction help us to understand the best way to move forward constructively?
