About The Event
Course Overview
If you're like millions of other professionals, you probably use Microsoft Outlook every day to manage your email, calendar and to-do's. It's available for Windows, Mac, mobile and there's even a web version. So there's no excuse not to be organized. Or so the theory goes. The reality is email overload, missed deadlines and calendars so full you have no room to breathe.
For many people, managing their email, their calendar and their to-do's has become a full-time job in itself. In this session you will learn how to control Outlook, rather than letting it control you.
