You're Living the EDGE. The corporate culture around you isn't.

The team at The Effective Edge has received copious emails and course evaluation feedback asking, "When will Getting the EDGE be mandatory for all employees at our company?" The reason behind this question is clear. The 20 individuals that sit throughout a Getting the EDGE course know their individual takeaways from the day, but often the culture or environment surrounding them is that of "swimming upstream" among their overwhelmed (and overwhelming) colleagues.

Although we don't have the authority to make the course mandatory, there is another approach that can be considered. Our product development team asked themselves the question, "What if...on-boarding professionals can Start with the EDGE?" It's certainly a step in the right direction! So, a new solution offering was born. It's not listed on our website yet, but here is a preview of the course details that can be tailored to your organization:

Starting with the EDGE™ 4-Hour Workshop or 2-Hour OnDemand:

Kick off your on-boarding professionals on the “right foot” by maximizing the productive use of Microsoft Outlook® or Lotus Notes®.

Most professionals start each day with a parade of voicemail, email, paperwork, interruptions, and responsibilities. Stress takes over and by the end of the day they're wondering: What have I forgotten? How did my to-do list get longer? I just started here, and I’m already behind!

Starting with the EDGE™ uses our proven best practices with the full power of Outlook, or Lotus Notes. Workshop attendees become more productive individuals and collaborative team members, and experience repeatable results they'll value for the rest of their life and career.

The Efficiency Experience

Learn productivity shortcuts and management using the Outlook or Lotus Notes account you will use everyday. Attendees log on to their individual systems and by class end you'll set up your electronic desk to set the stage for a seamless system to move forward using. You'll start work with a life-changing philosophy and tackle new things and change with ease!
