Taming the E-mail Beast: Key Strategies for Managing E-mail Overload.

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!)

E-mail information overload and distraction is an epidemic of its own in the global business world. Many business professionals spend 25% - 50% or more of each day trying to simply manage their e-mail, with less than 10% having any formal training on how to do so. Gained efficiencies can provide hours of additional productivity (and sanity) each week

CEOs, COOs, VP of Human Resources, Chief Learning Officers, Directors, Project Managers, Operation Managers and Supervisors, Team Leaders, and Human Resources Professionals.

Any working professional has some responsibility for managing e-mail messages as part of their job. (Yes, that is quite a broad target.) People who work in office-based and/or remote positions with significant use of e-mail for communications, meaning this could be people in corporate, governmental, academic, and nonprofit settings. I have spoken for groups in major corporate, mid-size professional firms (law, marketing, accounting), travel & tourism, academic professional (both secondary and post-secondary), governmental (local, state, and federal), and even small business owners that tend to often “do it all” themselves.
