2010 Productivity Webinar Series - All
New Programs!
After the success of our
2009 monthly productivity webinar series, we’ve decided to
extend the program into 2010 with twelve ALL-NEW
programs! If you’re still dealing with training
budget cuts and travel freezes, you can bring
Laura into the privacy of your own office for
personal productivity training each month!
Increased personal productivity is more
important than ever before, especially if your
department has been downsized, and you have more
work to do with fewer people and a lower budget.
This series very affordable for everyone, even
if you have to pay for it yourself! At just $29
per seminar, you can experience the best
productivity ideas from Laura Stack, The
Productivity ProŽ. If you purchase the entire
series, take off $100 and pay just $248 for the
year. The webinars will be recorded, so you can
still get the training even if you can’t tune in
to the “live” meeting.
All you need is an internet connection. You can dial in via phone or listen right from
your computer speakers (I recommend you purchase
an inexpensive USB headset with this option so
you don’t disturb your neighbors). I like the
Logitech ClearChat Comfort that plugs right
into your USB and offers great sound quality and
privacy.

Are you slowly drowning in a sea of
paper? Does the sight of your messy
office frustrate you? If you're
disorganized, your daily activities
won’t run smoothly, and you won’t
operate efficiently.
Entrepreneurs are so excited
by the “fun” activities of their

business:

hardware, equipment, and

Set up your client files,

Conquering
Digital Quicksand:
Avoiding Time-Sucking Habits in a Web 2.0 World. (date in the
past---clicking ORDER will purchase
the recording).
Social networks and other social media
tools are great resources but lousy
masters. Social media can expand the
reach of your organization, but it can
make you LESS productive if you’re not
careful. You could spend all day hopping
around to different sites, updating your
information, and connecting with people
all over the world. But how does that
add to your daily productivity? This
course teaches you how to take advantage
of social media, without it taking
advantage of you. You’ll learn how to
emphasize the positive aspects of social
media without letting it kill your
productivity.
-
Avoid distractions and Obsessive
Compulsive Social Media Disorder™.
-
Embrace third-party applications to
automate tasks.
-
Scan and cull, rather than checking
and reading in real time.
-
Turn one post into multiple posts;
don’t do anything manually.

MAY 24: For Road
Warriors:
How to Be Productive While Working
Out of a Suitcase. (date in the
past---clicking ORDER will purchase the
recording):
I fly over 100,000 miles a year on
United Airlines.
It’s a job hazard as a
professional speaker.
I dislike parts of it and
enjoy others, such as working
uninterrupted on a plane.
But my trips are made easier
because I’m productive and
organized.
I know not everyone has the
natural ability to live out of a
suitcase or do business from a
laptop bag.
However, with a little
practice, you can learn how to make
the most of your travel time.
It’s amazing what you can get
done when you put some miles between
yourself and the usual distractions
of everyday life. This webinar will
share tips and tricks that will help
you make the most of your time away.

Packing, checklists, and
organizing techniques.

JUNE 28: I Love My
Inbox; I Hate My Inbox:
Email Best Practices To Save You an
Hour a Day.
(date in the
past---clicking ORDER will purchase the
recording): How many hours do you spend wading
around in your email inbox each day?
Email isn't a toy—it’s a tool—a
means of making yourself more
productive. If you let yourself be
chained down by your email instead
of letting it help set you free,
you're never likely to get much
done. I will present my top ten best
practices to take advantage of your
email, without letting it take
advantage of you.
As a Microsoft Certified
Application Specialist in Outlook, I
will give the instructions in
Outlook.
If you’re using a different
email platform (such as Lotus or
GroupWise), the principles remain
the same.
-
Your inbox is not your to-do
list.
-
Avoid “Reply to All” syndrome:
How to correctly ask a group of
people their opinion on email.
-
Don’t assume “Sent” means
“Done”: establishing follow up
and reminder systems
-
Automate manual actions and
reuse your best information…and
much more.

of the above,

master your schedule
-
Attention: the capacity to focus
intently and concentrate on
tasks
-
Accessibility: the ability to
organize the inputs and outputs
in your life

AUGUST 23:
Thirty Best
Practices for Scheduling Your Day in
Outlook:
Maintaining Your Calendar Digitally.

but if you're not careful, it can

both you and everyone else involved.
Try to keep the following factors in
mind when scheduling your day in

(demonstrated in Outlook).
-
Using third-party software to
find convenient day/time of
meeting for people not at your
company.
-
Converting emails automatically
into appointments (no
copy/paste).
-
Automatically find open meeting
times without comparing
calendars.
-
Track meetings by projects,
team, or committee.

SEPTEMBER 27:
Discovering
the Time Secrets of Successful
Salespeople:
Improve Sales Results without
Increasing Effort.
The pressure on every aspect of a
salesperson’s job has increased
dramatically over the past few
years. Customers are more
sophisticated, more demanding, and
harder to see. Really good
salespeople are already good time
managers. However, all
salespeople don’t focus on time
management, because many traditional
guidelines have little application
for the salesperson. This
course offers salespeople realistic
productivity strategies to help them
sell more and be more effective
creating and keeping customers.
Learn how to gain the competitive
edge and make every second count!
-
Spend 80% of your time on
selling activities.
-
Focus on generating leads,
business development, and
serving customers.
-
Create the ideal schedule for
sales professionals.
-
Prioritize your customers and
set boundaries on your time.

OCTOBER 25:
Planning and
Executing Long-Term Projects:
Project Management for Non-Project
Managers.
Whether you are remodeling your
basement, coordinating a social
event, or managing a new software
release, the competencies and skills
of project management are the same.
Everyone manages projects at least
part-time. In fact, many
people in an organization simply
pursue a number of projects as their
job. This course will help you
carry out your projects productively
with proper planning, scheduling,
and monitoring. The complex
tools you’ve heard about in project
management are refreshingly absent.
-
Discover a practical and highly
effective four-step project
management approach.
-
Distinguish between
responsibilities, objectives,
projects, tasks, subtasks, and
action items.
-
Quickly and easily outline all
the key steps of your project
and create an outline.
-
Load your project into Microsoft
Outlook to ensure you’re working
on the right tasks each day.
-
Track delegated items and make
sure nothing falls through the
cracks.

NOVEMBER 15:
Avoiding
Procrastination and Becoming
Self-Disciplined:
Make Yourself Do What You Need to
Do, Even When You Don’t Feel Like
It.
Self-discipline refers to
your ability to maintain consistent,
productive behavior. Are you
persistent in completing your high
priority tasks, without getting
sidelined by menial activities?
Do you put your nose to the
grindstone each day, or do you only
work hard when you’re in the mood?
Sure, everyone has an “off day.”
But if you’re self-disciplined, you
exhibit consistent focus in your
day-to-day work, even if you don’t
feel like it.
-
Understand the psychology of
procrastination and uncover the
issues behind your habits.
-
Recognize why sometimes it’s not
procrastination at all: it could
be energy, motivation, laziness,
or ability.
-
Avoid the crisis you create by
putting things off until the
last minute; learn to estimate
and plan realistically.
-
Establish personal rules and
policies to avoid the things you
know distract you.

DECEMBER 13:
How
Parents Can Help Their Children Get
Organized:
Teach Your Kids to Be Productive and
Manage Their Time.
Though much has changed in our
children’s lives since we were their
age, much has stayed the same.
Our children deal with
disorganized bedrooms, poor time
management, lack of discipline, and
stress.
As parents, it’s easy to get
caught up in the hustle and bustle
of getting our children to school or
activities that we forget about the
ongoing challenges they struggle
with on a daily basis. Evidence
shows that children can dramatically
improve their school performance by
becoming better organized.
There are several important
areas where you can help your
children get organized and keep
their home and school lives running
smoothly, setting them up for
success later in life:
-
Handling transitions: nighttime
to morning; morning to school;
afternoon to evening; evening to
bedtime.
-
Creating order in your child’s
world: playrooms, bedrooms, and
keepsakes.
-
Teaching responsibility for
completing chores.
-
Organizational and time
management skills needed to
succeed in school and life.
