Hi Geoff, OMG!! OneNote is an absolute game changer for me. I am using quite a lot of the features which is amazing. When out on site, not only can I do everything on my phone, it also doesn’t drain the battery! Being able to add photos and use dictate saves me at least 5 minutes per site. Then when I am transferring the info into the cases, I don’t have to remember what the location looked like as the picture is under the notes. To say I love the MS OneNote program doesn’t even come close. Thanks so much for everything you taught us. 😊

Hi Geoff, your Productivity with Outlook course is one of the best I have ever attended. I am using many of your follow up tips. The logical way in which you convey information makes it very easy to understand. I also enjoyed your blogs, particularly the one about the 10 commandments.

Thanks so much Geoff, it was such a useful session. I feel like I got more out of your 2-hour, Outlook for Executive Assistants training session, than I have from any other Executive Assistants training I’ve done in the last few years! (including a full-day!)

Linda, Executive Assistant, Government (Canberra) February 2023

Hi Geoff; a quick note to thank you for the Using Outlook Effectively training presentation today. You are an informed, engaging, and effective presenter. It was mind blowing to be introduced to program capacity that I was completely unaware of. The transformation of my inbox is radical – email content is available but without that incessant and distracting demand.

Roslyn, Environmental Health Officer, Melbourne. March 2023

Hi Geoff, firstly, thank you, 😉 the tips I picked up in the Outlook Productivity Training have changed my working life for the better. It has been amazing! I feel so much more in control of the work coming in and I’m not getting distracted by leaving my inbox open with the reading panel on. It truly has made such a difference. I will investigate other training you provide as I want to learn more 😊

Michelle, Industrial Relations, Melbourne. March 2023

Hi Geoff, thanks for another great training session. I do appreciate your sessions and the follow up prompts. It was so worthwhile to do the Productivity in the Modern Office training as a refresher to the One Note and reminder for many of the things learnt. Thank you! I feel like your knowledge has really helped with my productivity, getting organised and in turn helped to reduce some of my stress load.

Katherine, Local Government, Melbourne. November 2021

Hi Geoff, thanks for the follow up. I’ve moved over to the new world order and I’m loving it! I’ve kept my Outlook set up as per your training and I’m sticking with it! It’s great – it has made such a massive difference to the way I operate…I spoke to the rest of my colleagues in my team and told them they *have* to do this training – it’s a game changer.

Claire – Senior Planner, Local Government Melbourne

Thank you so much Geoff – I think you have changed my life. I came into your workshop feeling incredibly out of control with over 800 emails in my inbox. Tonight I’m going home with 9 – after I delete this one you just sent me!!!! OneNote is a game changer for me too – I hadn’t used it before and have since had a session with the guru here and am feeling completely in control. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I know we will see a lot more of you around council in the months to come.

Leanne, Manager Local Government June 2018

Geoff was engaging and kept the whole group focused for the whole day…not a small feat! Excellent tools that I will use.

Sylvia

Thanks Geoff. I really enjoyed the training and your genuine , conversational style! This session was invaluable for me in discovering a number of tools I wasn’t aware off but will certainly now use!

Hi Geoff, I just wanted to give you some feedback on your fantastic advice in regard to using Microsoft To Do. I have used this App daily since your advice and also passed it on to other people within the organisation and friends who all say the same thing; “why have not I heard of this before and it has changed how organised and efficient I am!” I am currently using it to help write reports and updating progress on jobs, it is like having a secretary on the phone!!! Thank you.

Matthew

Hi Geoff, as a result of the Productivity with Outlook Training I did with you, I feel like I have significantly increased my productivity and eliminated a lot of mind clutter which has in turn reduced work stress. I feel a lot more confident in how I manage my time and inbox which overall affects my productivity and mood. Thank you!

Natasha

Hi Geoff, my To-Do Bar has been amazing. I’m using it and updating every it day. It is a wonderful way to stay on task, but even more exciting is that I can use it to remind me of things 3 months from now! Also turning off the email reminders has been amazing at limiting distractions – I worked on a task for 3 straight hours yesterday without stopping! Thanks.

Evie

Tags & Office Lens!! If you are not on OneNote yet or only taught yourself then you really need to look closer, it is amazing!! I love my to do lists and this has just become so easy. And this will enable me to go even closer to paperless.  Last weeks OneNote course was a "game changer". This weeks was "mind blown"!!  Whoever designed OneNote ..... I LOVE YOU!!  Geoff Prior from Lingford Consulting is certainly a master! Sign up to his courses.

Bobbi

OMG! This has been the single most useful training course I have EVER been on!

Rita

Really looking forward to sharing what I have learnt. I will be encouraging other staff to complete this training.

Jodi

Every staff member who uses a computer should do this training. Geoff’s teaching style is fantastic. Live examples were great!

Hi Geoff, thanks again for delivering this training to my team. The training you delivered has really changed the way I do things at work and I no longer feel ruled by my emails! - Emma – Regional Manager, EPA Victoria Sept 2017

Really fantastic training course Geoff. It should be compulsory for all Surface Pro Users! Hoping this training is rolled out to all staff in all regions. Megan – Team Leader Compliance Strategy and Support

Really engaging; information rich, but not overwhelming. Thanks Geoff; a great facilitator who was able to bring the whole group's views together and help to understand different viewpoints.

Sharon - Victorian State Government

Very interesting subject matter. The most enjoyable Off-Site I've ever attended. Geoff was a "great facilitator!!" 🙂

Rebecca - Resourcing & Project Coordinator. EPA Vic

Thanks Geoff – I have appreciated both the (MBTI Team Building) session, the follow up communications and most notably how the conversation has opened up our team. It’s had a very lovely impact on our team environment.

Karenina Fromhold - Acting Manager - Infrastructure and Sustainability Division

Great learning experience. Great environment. Very interesting and good opportunity to bond with workmates and learn more about ourselves and others. Would definitely recommend to others!

Thalia - Holmesglen

Impressive! Extremely enlightening and valuable resources and information. And it was FUN!!!

Mario - Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, Upper Murray Family Care

Beneficial Training – eye opener. I didn’t realise there were so many different personality types. Great knowing my own type. Hopefully interactions with others will improve as a result.

Melinda - Upper Murray Family Care

I recently undertook ‘Improving your Personal Productivity’ with Geoff, about which I can’t speak highly enough. Geoff’s exercises and materials are firmly rooted in practicality.
