Does the weekly frequency work well?

“May I say I am enjoying the weekly get togethers for this workshop. I feel if I had completed the one day I may not have achieved as much. Having an hour a week keeps it at the front of mind and you have a week to practice what you have learned and I think this helps to make it a habit.”

What do other participants say about this program?

“This training has been a complete game-changer for me. Previously working as an EA and now the founder and CEO at The EA Institute, I know how important email management is for any Assistant. This will 100% revolutionize how you do email. Loved it. Thanks, Steuart.” Amanda Vinci | Founder & CEO | The EA Institute

“This course has changed my work life! Amazing tips from the email master – I am so much more in control of my inbox. I never would have thought such a huge change was possible – I’ve been using outlook for years after all and thought I knew how to use it! I knew there was a better way of managing my emails and googling wasn’t helping! I am astounded at the number of time saving practices that Steuart knows. I now feel more in control of my work day and a LOT less overwhelmed. Stuart has an easy to listen to, well thought out style of presenting.” Daina Latta | Executive Assistant to CEO | Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre

“This course is great. Be prepared to be blown away by some of Steuart’s great tips on getting control of your inbox. Friendly, down-to-earth approach, Steuart is practical and has awesome knowledge of what he does, presents at the right speed, one-to-one lessons to make sure you are on track, good that the training is in bite size chunks rather than just lumped on you and then left.” Mark McEwen | Design Team Leader | Dome Shelter

“I give this program and Steuart’s delivery the highest praise. From the first 1 hour session I have looked forward to this every week and it is the highlight. Steuart is at the top of the productivity improvement field. Really impressive course. Well done and thank you.” Trent McKenzie | General Manager | Nilsen (Qld) Pty Ltd

“My inbox was out of control and I had been searching for a way to tame it. The strategies I have tried in the past never stuck and usually my inbox went back to chaos mode pretty quickly. I was expecting some good strategies, and with Revolutionise Your Inbox I learnt a system that improves my productivity, enhances professional communication and reduces the stress on inbox chaos. RYIO is such a valuable investment. I have moved from inbox chaos to managing an essential aspect of work communication, email, consistently and well. The learning is well paced and well structured and Steuart was available and responsive to 1:1 support and learning alongside the group sessions. It has been time and resources well spent for me – highly recommended.” Judi Stanton |Navigator Coordinator | Bayside – Peninsula Area – South Eastern Victoria Region | Regional Services Group | Department of Education and Training

“ It’s fantastic!!! I love to be organised and work out better ways of working. The best things I learned were to work from my calendar and not my inbox, to triage and use the filing cabinet has been great. I’ve saved time finding things and have been feeling less overwhelmed. This training has been so beneficial for me and I have found it very easy and practical. Steuart is passionate, kind, and so knowledgeable.” Holly Martin | Admissions Officer | The Gordon TAFE

“Accessing this course online via zoom has really helped me change the way I use and prioritise my inbox. I let my calendar order my priorities instead of ‘reading and reacting’ to my emails. You will be introduced to the 4D Methodology and many new ‘back end’ features in Outlook that we don’t normally use or think of using. The best things I’ve learned and use daily are: 1) Use my calendar rather than inbox; 2) change my view to ‘triage view’; 3) set up of new rules; 4) use signatures; drafts and autocorrect; 5) use quick steps; and I love 6) move email with attachments to calendar. This course has literally opened my eyes up to a more efficient and effective way to control the inbox, saving you time and stress! I highly recommend everyone in your immediate department does this course and make sure you tell everyone else about it too! ” Filomena Parente | EA and Senior Officer Research Contracts Administrator | Victoria University
