Why this Course is Important

“Discover how to eliminate email anxiety, avoid inbox distractions and focus on the work that needs to get done now.”

It doesn’t seem that long ago when most of us enjoyed receiving emails. However, email is way out of control for many managers and employees today. The constant “bing” of hearing that you have a new incoming email means that most employees are finding it harder to stay focused on their current work with the constant distraction of hearing or seeing an alert and wanting to check the new messages.
