Slaying the Email Dragon

Are you overwhelmed by email?
Are you looking for better ways to manage it?

Most people have not received any formal training in appropriate email etiquette, using their email software or smart practices in using this technology. This training addresses all these needs, teaching you how to get the most from email without letting it run you ragged. We will help you keep the benefits and manage the hassles of working with email.

Though we can not completely control what comes in, we can certainly better handle what we send out and how we process what comes in. Slaying the Email Dragon is designed to help the busy professional more efficiently manage the daily email workload by teaching effective tools for reading, evaluating and responding to electronic correspondence.
