Productivity Tools

Announcing our ALL NEW Microsoft Outlook (2010 version) online webinar training series!

Live IN PERSON with Laura Stack, The Productivity Pro®, Inc.

If you are looking for training on Outlook 2003 or 2007, we have online training available HERE.

After twelve one-hour monthly webinars and practice applications, you will be an expert in Microsoft Outlook 2010 by the end of 2011!

You're spending HOURS every day in your email, correct? How would you like to shave AT LEAST an hour a day off this onerous task? With a savings of five hours a week, you could Leave the Office Earlier® and get home to your life! Laura is a Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) in Outlook, and she will open your eyes to productivity features you didn’t even know existed (most people only know 20% of its capabilities)! This training will be real-world, reality-based workflow processing that helps you be MORE productive with Outlook, instead of wasting hours every day playing with it.

No travel is required—you attend this virtual training “live” from the privacy of your own office or home (anywhere with an internet connection). Laura will present twelve one-hour modules covering various aspects of Outlook. This isn’t just computer training. It’s not PowerPoint. She will share her desktop and show her computer screen LIVE using her actual Microsoft Outlook software.

Each webinar is accompanied by a workbook with detailed screen shots and step-by-step instructions, so you can duplicate what Laura demonstrates when the seminar is over. It is a real-time demonstration, where you’ll follow along with your workbook and then go implement what we’ve done on your system. You'll get one month to master the techniques she shows each month, before she adds to your growing knowledge the following month.



TIME: ALL WEBINARS: 10:00 a.m. pacific / 11:00 a.m. mountain / 12:00 p.m. central /1:00 p.m. eastern

You do NOT have to be available on the days and times listed!! If you look at the schedule and think, “Oh darn, I’m not available at that day and time,” don’t worry!! You don’t have to attend the “live” session, because each registration also includes a recording of the entire session! If you "missed" a session---no worries---you can still register, and you'll receive the recordings and workbooks for the previous ones you missed.

In these difficult economic times, we are offering this training at a very affordable price to make it easy for everyone to attend: $39 per webinar per person. If you attend or purchase ALL TWELVE, you get a BIG price break to $349 per person (essentially three webinars free). Even if you miss a "live" session, you can still get the discount and purchase all the modules.

We are using the www.gotowebinar.com platform, which uses either your phone or VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), so you can listen right from your own computer speakers via your Internet connection. We recommend you purchase an inexpensive USB headset (such as the Logitech ClearChat Comfort for around $40) that plugs right into your USB and offers great sound quality and privacy from your office neighbors. Here is a link which should answer any questions you may have about the GoToWebinar platform https://www2.gotomeeting.com/default/help/g2w/pdf/GoToWebinar_Attendee_QuickRef_Guide.pdf.

These webinars are not interactive (i.e., participants do not ask questions), because one person’s issue may not apply to all of those attending the seminar. The feedback has been that people would rather have Laura get more content into the session. With hundreds of people in the virtual room at one time, interaction has proven to be chaotic. However, you are welcome to email Laura specific questions you have prior to the webinar at Laura@TheProductivityPro.com.

NOTE: This is a single-person license. The recording and/or workbook can’t be shared with or distributed to other people.
