24 Hour Fitness

"It was very enlightening and I had come into the workshop unsure of how this would benefit me.  Kristi was great and is a very effective facilitator...she should be highly recommended as well as the course."

"This is the most valuable tool I have been given since I started with 24 Hour Fitness."

"My head is still spinning with all the information I've learned.  Oh!  And I have zero emails in my inbox- hurrah!  This was by far one of the most beneficial classes for me since I have sought out the perfect organizational system over the years.  Time management is particularly challenging for me since I have A.D.D.  A BIG THANK YOU, Kristi!"

ConAgra Foods

"This is an OUTSTANDING class -- really more focused on managing time and priorities than on simply using Outlook."

"This class makes a person feel like a huge weight is lifted. Having email organized and in one area really can make a difference in productivity since a lot of time is spent each day on trying to get organized. It was well worth the 8 hour class."

Covidien Healthcare

"I think that for the utilization of MS Outlook in time management this is an excellent course. I will recommend to my manager and co-workers as a way to improve communication in the group and in task management."

"Outstanding program, well structured and explained. Useful, practical tools to be more organized and be able to get things done more effectively. Learned things about Outlook I never knew existed."

Cox Communications

"I highly recommend this class to everyone! In even just 15 minutes I got it, and my whole "outlook" in Outlook changed! Many of the principles can be also applied to other areas in life that need to be organized."

"Thank you for a very informative class today. I have never had such a productive day- ever !!! I have also never seen the "white" on my e-mail inbox before. It looks so nice that I think I will try to keep it this way."

"Thank you so much for the training.  I feel liberated!  I have an entire new perspective on my job as a result of what I learned in your class.  I can’t believe how I was truly a slave to my e-mails and did not even realize it.  I have incorporated all of your suggestions into my daily routine and so far, I feel great!  Thank you."

Dell

"Great job - this is the best class I have taken at Dell. It has improved my life and work in one day - while being in class. I am feeling recharged to go after my action items now that I have a clear picture of what I have going on."

"This is hands down the most effective class I have ever participated in.  That said after 25 years of working experience with three Fortune 500 companies."

"Today's class was phenomenal. I went from 400+ emails down to 33 in one day. I have my Outlook set up just like Steven taught us, and I plan on keeping up with this new method. I'm also on a mission to tell everyone I know that they need to take this course! My stress level has diminished GREATLY!!!! Thank you SO much!!!"

"You have empowered me to actually make changes in my daily life that will lead to better work life effectiveness for me and my family."

"I was afraid that it would simply be a "how to use outlook" class but nothing could have been further from the truth."

Fidelity Investments

"This was a fantastic course and will certainly allow me to work more effectively and efficiently with my time.  This was one of the more productive and relevant training courses that I have taken at Fidelity and I have been with the company for 13 years."

"Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed and learned during your session to our team in CA this week.  I have already found myself to be more productive and focused.  The techniques and ideas the class taught are AMAZING- THEY WORK!  It was clearly one of the best programs I have been through during my 13 years at Fidelity Investments."    

This was a refreshingly different course from what I am normally exposed to.  And in today's environment, probably the most timely to help deal with the new corporate reality."

H-E-B

"This was phenomenal, I really am going to push myself to make these changes. I believe that this can help me and I want to change so that I have more time for ME and more time to be more EFFECTIVE when working! Thank you!!!!"

Intercontinental Hotel Group

"You cannot imagine the feeling of relief to see the message "There are no items to show in this view".  My Inbox has not been empty for over 2 years.  And I'm leaving here tonight with the feeling that I actually understand the full scope of what I have to do. If I can continue to work this way I can't imagine how effective I could really be.  Today I processed 71 emails, create 4 new tasks and completed 7 tasks from my task list with dates associated ... and I leave with nothing in my Inbox and a clear picture of what tomorrow will bring.  And this will be the first time in 5 weeks that I've left before 7:00! Thanks for giving me my 60 - 90 minutes a day!"

Intuit

"The best seminar, by far, that I have ever attended!! It doesn't get any better than this."

"The class that I attended on Tuesday was awesome.  I've already gone in and set up my Outlook the way that the productivity experts at The Effective Edge suggest.  I feel that I can increase my productivity by as much as 25% and be more effective as well."

"I really loved the class and believe it is starting to really get me to the critical tasks and improving my effectiveness!!  In just 3 days!  ... and boy, you should see me at my home projects now too!!" 

"Very good class. Thanks for the help! I haven't had a clear inbox in a year and a half."

"This is the right way to learn Outlook. Learn the features with a purpose. Nicely done!"

Metaldyne

"Well done! Able to take complex issues and make it simple."

"Over the course of my 16 years at Metaldyne, I’ve participated in quite a few seminars.  When I signed up for yours, I had my doubts whether or not a person could spend that much time learning to use Outlook.  Little did I know until I attended your course that it wasn’t necessarily about Outlook, but rather how Outlook was just a tool in your time management system.  I can sincerely say that of all of the training sessions I have had, your seminar had the most dramatic effect on improving my time management skills."

"Outstanding; well worth the time."

Miller Brewing Company

Continental

"I found the instructor to be very knowledgeable and tenacious without being obnoxious. He did not give up on me and kept me focused and moving forward at all times. With his help we breezed through tasks that have overwhelmed me in the past."

"My coaching experience was very enlightening. I learned a lot of surprising things about myself and my approach to my workflow. Before the Getting the EDGE course and the coaching session, I felt completely overwhelmed by the overload of email and Outlook in general. I hated opening my Outlook everyday because it was so overwhelming. Now I look forward to opening it to see what my day will bring. For the first time since I accepted this position, I feel like I have things under control and moving forward in the right direction. I feel hope and am again enjoying the job I have always loved."

Sony

"Please make it a requirement for the organization to make it a manadatory course defined by department. This is the best time management course that I have attended and participated in and I really enjoyed the knowledge and the humor."

"I enjoyed the class and am excited to see how this will effect my daily productivity. I really wish I had known about this before I took classes in Time Management and Project Management."

Spansion

Texas Instruments

"This class exceeded my expectations (by integrating the philosophy with the tool)."

"Feedback is very positive. This was probably one of the most useful training sessions I have attended in the past 10 years. Having a single logical system dealing with all my inputs has been invaluable to my daily productivity. It's also brought me less stress and allowed me to track what others owe or have promised me, it's nice to "remind" them of the information I'm waiting on."

"This information learned is invaluable!"

Wells Fargo

"An excellent use of time for me and could be utilized by my direct reports."

"One of the few trainings I have attended where the instructor was a true "user" of what was being taught and not just a trainer."

CrossTex Energy

"If I can successfully merge this system into my life, which will actually be an amazing feat in itself, I will transform my whole life...maybe actually one with balance for the first time in over ten years."

True North

"This has been a wonderful experience! It is amazing how quickly this help de-clutter my life!!!"

"Very good class with lots of useful information the will help me to work more efficiently."
