You don’t need to be a designer to create amazing presentations. But you do need to know the remarkable tools Microsoft have designed. I have been teaching Microsoft full time since 2005.
I’m also a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional). I have dedicated over two decades to empowering Assistants and other Office Professionals through expert guidance, specialising in Microsoft Outlook, Teams & the broader M365 suite. In April 2024 I received a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) award. This accolade is awarded by Microsoft to exceptional community leaders and technical experts and is a testament to my deep expertise and commitment. It recognises those who demonstrate outstanding contributions and influence within the Microsoft ecosystem. My extensive experience includes delivering high-impact training sessions both locally and internationally, firmly establishing me as a sought-after voice in the realm of Microsoft technologies. My commitment to excellence and his pioneering use of Microsoft technologies have not only enriched the lives of countless professionals but have also shaped the future of executive support.
