If you'd like copies of the workshop materials, click the links below. Folded Corner: We would like your input! If you could take a few minutes, we would appreciate it if you would answer a short survey. It really will just take a few minutes. Thanks! Training Survey  

Remember, we ask only three (3) things:

  • Don't edit the materials directly.
  • Don't remove our copyright (that's just tacky).
  • If you use the materials to train your colleagues, drop us an e-mail and let us know how it went.

If you're looking for something you can't find, let us know.

  (And if you buy one of our books and like it, we'd appreciate it if you'd write a review on Amazon.com.)
 

From Deadly to Dazzling: PowerPoint in the New Millennium  
PowerPoint has never made a bad speaker better; however, it has turned many good speakers into bad ones. Anyone who gives presentation consisting of countless text-laden slides that they read to their audiences is destined to a life of mediocrity. A great speaker is remembered by what they said not what they read. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to avoid what’s been called “death by PowerPoint” by creating PowerPoint presentations that actually keep your audience engaged and interested in what you have to say. You’ll learn how to use art and animation to create stunning effects that focus your audience on what you want them to see and more importantly, what you want them to remember. Even if you create presentations for someone else to give, this workshop will give you the tools you need to turn PowerPoint presentations into something to look forward to. This workshop is for anyone who already knows how to create mind-numbing PowerPoint presentations and wants to take their skills to a new level.

Taking Control of Your Life with Microsoft Outlook
If you are like most admins, you spend a good part of your day answering email and scheduling meetings in Outlook. And you probably spend almost as much time looking for information you have stored in Outlook. In this workshop, you’ll learn how you can streamline the contents of your Outlook Inbox, reduce the amount of time you spend retrieving information, and use Tasks and Calendar effectively to manage your time and your responsibilities. If you feel overwhelmed by all you have to do and want to take back control of your life, this workshop is for you.
