NOW Featuring a recent 2-Hour Webinar Replay
NOW Available with
videos featuring either Outlook Local Client Version (Formerly Outlook 13/16)
Optimizing Your MS Outlook:
Time, Project/Task, People, Idea, and E-mail Management Using Microsoft Outlook
Course Led by Randy Dean, MBA
Special Note: I have left several of my previous versions of my videos available with this program in case you are still using an older version of Microsoft Outlook. Most people using Office 365 will likely benefit from watching the latest video. I do strongly recommend the Local Client version of MS Outlook (formerly Outlook 2016) vs. the Web App version -- it has the most robust set of features. All demonstrations in these programs are in the Local Client version.
Upon registration, you will also get a full set of coordinated handouts in PDF format you can print in advance of the course so you can take notes and follow along.
SOMETHING BRAND NEW: I am now also offering up to 30-minutes of one-on-one consulting via Zoom for all course purchasers. (This will be scheduled at a mutually-agreed-upon time and date, with understanding that Randy has a busy client and travel schedule. You can also choose to e-mail your questions instead, with the 30 minutes counted toward the responses. Only one 30-minute consulting session per individual program purchase. If making a group purchase, Randy will be in touch about possible options.)
NOTE on Pricing/Copyright: This webinar is specially priced at $99 per attendee. That is per-person pricing, and the program is not to be shared or rebroadcast to other parties without express permission of the program leader and copyright owner, Randall Dean.
See below if you have an interest in purchasing a further-discounted (per person) multi-person license. I will reach out to you following the purchase to provide the options for sharing this to a multi-person group or team.

HERE IS THE FULL ONLINE COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Perhaps you’ve heard of Randy Dean’s Taming the E-mail Beast Using MS Outlook course, and you know how it can help professionals at every level increase their productivity using e-mail in MS Outlook. But did you know that Randy Dean, author of the recent Amazon Bestseller, Taming the E-mail
Beast, can help you take the next step with your Microsoft Outlook to use it for more sophisticated time, project, client, and idea management, as well as better long-frame, daily, and minute-by-minute management. (Microsoft Outlook is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.)
In this version of the course, Randy tailors all program and software demonstrations to the MS Outlook environment, and shows extensively how MS Outlook can be a center point to an advanced personal productivity and time management system. Randy will help you understand how many of the different functions within Microsoft Outlook were designed for enhanced productivity, and give great suggestions on how you can get so much more from this powerful and amazingly useful software program.
This program will greatly enhance your ability to use all five of the main Outlook functions: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, and, of course, E-mail. (Keep reading for course testimonials.)
Randy’s Optimizing Your Outlook course covers the following topics/areas:
- A basic understanding of key “bigger picture” time management principles – including your current active projects and life roles – and how they can be integrated into your MS Outlook software
- A discussion on the critical survival skill of “effective procrastination”, and how Outlook can help.

- Managing your “e-mail & info overload” — emails, voice mail, "snail" mail, and all those articles to read! – including several specific and highly useful strategies for Outlook e-mail management
- Building an intelligent and structured Outlook folder system for efficient filing and management
- Utilizing the “Notes” function to help “clear your mind” by creating several highly useful lists for organizing the random clutter in your mind
- How to set up Outlook “reminders” that prompt you to take appropriate actions at the right times

of your system and keep your time management and personal
organization skills sharpened
The program includes a coordinated handouts file in PDF format, as well as several additional bonus articles that will help program attendees build, develop, and retain the skills gained in the program session.
NEW SPECIAL BONUS VIDEO! I have also included an intensive 40-minute video program on my Best Tips & Practices Using Microsoft OneNote. Because MS Outlook and MS OneNote are so closely related, I wanted to add this special video to this program. Learn how to set up, build notes, share notes, add in extra documents, pictures, files, and more, with Outlook's close cousin from Microsoft 365: OneNote
SOMETHING BRAND NEW: I have also added a new "Post-Program Interactive Self-Study" PDF File for the Taming E-mail content in this program! This file will reiterate key points in the webinar video replays, as well as add a deeper layer of content, including links to related articles, book suggestions by other authors, and links through to several short YouTube tutorials. I recommend you first go through one of the video replays above to understand the key concepts, and then really master your new skills by going through this Post-Program Self-Study PDF.
