About This Course

Is your e-mail a “beast”? Does it take up too much time, cause distraction, and get in the way of productivity vs. helping with productivity?

Without a system for “controlling the beast”, professionals spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels and feeling highly unsatisfied. If you would like to get control of your e-mail “beast”, you should attend this program led by Randy Dean, MBA, author of the Amazon bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast. Randy shares strategies for effective e-mail management, organization, and prioritization (featuring live and newly updated demos in popular programs like Outlook and Gmail) that have helped thousands of business professionals regain control and sanity with their e-mail activities (one university client even found that the average attendee saved more than 2 hours per week by taking this program!) Enhance your efficiency today and walk away with immediately usable tips and techniques!

At the end of this program, attendees will be able to:

· Understand the nature of e-mail & information overload in today's workplace · Have a strategy for “splitting” work, personal, and junk/spam e-mails for greater efficiency · Use a very simple “rule” for managing all incoming e-mails that allow for both greater speed and prioritization of those messages and embedded tasks · Learn how to convert e-mails quickly into tasks, contacts, and calendar items · Use embedded functions inside of your e-mail that allows you to “automate” certain common activities/messages · Greatly reduce distraction by setting up special notifiers and adjusting internal settings in both Outlook · Build a personal file “infrastructure” that can assist in achieving greater organization and possibly even “e-mail ZERO”! · Better manage both sent and received CC's, Forwards, and Replies, to reduce confusion and increase communication capabilities.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
