Getting Funding Approval for Your Professional Development in 2026
Many EAs and support staff find it difficult to get approval for the professional development training they need. To help you get the funding you need to benefit from the Triage Your Inbox program or the full full Revolutionise Your Inbox programs, you might like to use the following letter/email to submit to your Executive or employer with more details that may help your request.

Subject: Request for Approval – Email Productivity Program
Hi [Executive],
I have been reviewing ways to further improve how we manage email flow and workload, and I’ve identified a structured program that could deliver measurable benefits for both of us.
Steuart Snooks, a recognised expert in email and workplace productivity, delivers a program called Triage Your Inbox. Participants report saving an average of 60+ minutes per day, reducing email rework, and creating significantly more mental clarity and focus.
The outcome would be more structured inbox management, clearer prioritisation, and additional capacity that I can redirect toward higher-value support, project work, and proactive follow-up.
The program is available live online or as a self-paced On Demand option, allowing me to complete it around core responsibilities without disruption to workflow, while properly embedding the new practices.
There are also advanced options available, including:
Revolutionise Your Inbox – a comprehensive program covering triage plus outgoing email protocols and standards.
Executive & EA Email Productivity Coaching – designed to strengthen the executive–EA partnership and implement a more strategic approach to managing email and workload together.
All programs are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.
I would appreciate your approval to proceed, as I believe this will enhance how we operate and create tangible time and performance gains.
Kind regards,
[Your Name]
