"The seminar yesterday was absolutely amazing.
I've had people calling me and sending me e-mails today telling me what a great time they had and how much they took away from both sessions."
Angela Hosch, Program Chair
Georgia Power Chapter, IAAP
International Association of Administrative Professionals

Part I. Get Organized So You Can Think! Follow Up! and Follow Through! You'll learn simple ways to get and stay organized and manage your time by changing your everyday work habits.

Streamline how you work by evaluating your processes.

Part II. Internet Research. Your skill set is changing and expanding. In this portion of the workshop you'll learn how to use the Internet more effectively by discovering search engine tips so you can quickly find what you need, and how to organize everything so you can find it later.

Learn how to organize research on the front-end to save time on the back-end.

Learn techniques for using search engines so you can find what you need quickly.

Organize your Favorites using browser tips so you can find everything later.

"Peggy, Just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your seminar yesterday! You have motivated us to continue to strive to be the best we can be. That fits so well with our organization. I think that is what I like most about IAAP - it inspires us to not let up, to continue pressing on for our own betterment. That is exactly what you did yesterday!"

BRING YOUR FULLY-CHARGED LAPTOP FOR
HANDS-ON EXCITEMENT!!!
(Public Workshops Only)

Think you don't have time to come to a full-day workshop? Think again!

Disorganization and all the ills that result from it make you lose about two hours every day. If your income is $100,000 per year, based on a 40-hour week, you're costing the company about $25,000 every year. When you enlist the help of others to help you find something, the cost goes up.

If an income is
$25,000/year, your company loses $6,000
$40,000/year, your company loses $10,000
$50,000/year, your company loses $12,600
$125,000/year, your company loses $32,000

And when you consider that learning tips and tricks in software you use every day will help you finish work six times quicker, clearing your calendar for this workshop just makes sense.

With the skills you'll learn at this workshop, you'll get all that time back and so much more! You'll spend one day to improve the rest of your life!

You have to take time to create time!

Once you've enrolled in one of our public workshops, you'll be able to attend again anytime you want but at no charge. All you'll have to do is pre-register and check the box next to "I've been to this workshop before and want to take
it again at no charge!." This is a great way to keep
your skills current.

"If all administrative personnel followed the principles
of this class, it would be amazing what organizations
could accomplish."
Jennifer Ockerman, GA Tech

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Busy administrative assistants, office managers, business school students.

WHY IS THE PRICE SO LOW?
Some people think a class has to be expensive to be worth attending. Not so! Our classes don't cost hundreds of dollars because we've figured out a better way.

Our training sessions are small and intimate. We do not need to hire an event staging company, a destination management firm, or other expensive support teams. We've thought through the process, streamlined it, and automated everything using technology (remember, that's what Peggy does for a living).

We don't use an 800 number that is often abused. If we did, we'd have to pass that expense on to you.

You bring the computer (when noted in description). Our target client has a laptop or has access to one. Not providing computers gives us greater flexibility in meeting locations and helps us to avoid this costly expense.

We don't hold our events at expensive hotels. We have access to excellent training facilities that can accommodate the small, intimate training sessions we're known for.

We don't feed you. Wish we could, but if we did, we'd build that unnecessary expense into higher registration fees. As one of our students proclaimed in class, "I can eat later: I came here to learn." Our students bring their own lunch or eat when they leave.

This event is not a sales pitch disguised as a seminar to hook you in to buy a lot of stuff you won't use or read. You'll learn from an absolute expert who helps people work smarter every day in various work situations!

TRANSPORTATION
If you're driving, parking is free. The Hampton Inn is right at the corner of Spring and 14th Street. The IBM Tower is across the street. MARTA Arts Center Station is there too.

MEALS
No food or beverage served. There are several eating establishments in the area. If we served food, we'd have to charge more for the workshop. As one attendee said during training, "I can eat later. I came here to learn!"

LODGING
No special arrangements have been made for this workshop.

MISCELLANEOUS
This is an adult event. No exceptions.

Dress is business or business casual, whichever is more comfortable for you.

CANCELLATION
If you cancel before 5 working days of the workshop, you'll receive a full refund minus a 20% administrative fee.

At any time, you'll be allowed to send a substitute.

If we have to cancel the training for any reason, you'll receive a 100% refund OR you'll be able to transfer the registration to another workshop. We will not be responsible for any losses you incur due to the cancellation of this or any of our training sessions.

GUARANTEE
We are so confident that you won't want to leave the workshop we're offering a 100% guarantee. If you are not fully satisfied with what you'll learn in this workshop, you will receive a 100% refund. All you'll have to do is to send us a signed letter on your company letterhead stating why you weren't satisfied.
