Microsoft Office Expert since 1994 Online or Onsite

I believe my experience as a high school instructor earlier in my career provided skills that allow me to be an excellent trainer, who adapts quickly to various learning styles. I have extensive experience training users on Microsoft Office applications for all versions from Office 1995 to the most recent versions. I customize training to meet the needs of the individual or groups. I train topics that you need to know for your job and career advancement.

Clients I have trained have been in many different industries, all ages and abilities. My clients have been in the following industries: Legal, Medical, Real Estate, Hospitality, Industrial, Recreational, Finance, Banking, High Tech, Insurance, Home Services, Catering, Manufacturing... and more. Entrepreneurs, State Offices, Large and small business, and individuals are amongst my client base.

If local, I train people right at their own computer. If not local, I have an online meeting space, and have over 12 years of experience training individuals online. Many local clients opt for online training for convenience.

I love to help others learn, and I am a teacher at heart. I believe that the ability to teach is a gift and get great satisfaction knowing I have made someone's life easier through learning the tips and tricks of technology.

While I train users on MS Office, I have also learned many proprietary applications.
I create customized spreadsheets, databases, presentations and branded marketing collateral.

In addition to application training I also assist client to learn soft skills such as Time Management, Sales Techniques, amongst other topics.

For clients in career transitions, I work with these clients with Career coaching, Interview Strategies, and Resume writing.

Often, I create help sheet and customized training manuals for clients to serve as a resource to training.

Study Skills

I have worked extensively with college students, adults, children with useful techniques for studying. I am a mother of two daughters now 27 and 24, and understand a parent's concern for education. I incorporate technology to assist with building study skills with my clients. I think using a combination of Excel and Outlook is key to being organized and improve study habits. Scheduling study time, and what will be worked on during that timeframe, tracking what studying has been accomplished is... Read More

Special Needs

I have worked with clients that have had special needs such as Head Injury, Stroke, legal Blindness, and wheelchair bound. I have taught them study skills, computer applications, and general career coaching. I taught Excel to a stroke victim at GE in Schenectady NY. He needed to re-learn the application to be able to work with the Reports his department used, in order for him to return to work. I was contacted by a medical provider for a young professional woman who had seven years earlier suffered... Read More

Web Design

I have worked with GoDaddy template based websites for the past 12 years. In order to build sites, I work to determine number of pages, images, and content. Also before actually creating the site, I work with my clients to create a logo, tag lines, and purpose. Once all if this is gathered I either write the website myself or I teach the client how to put it together and how to make updates.

Business

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing Management in 1979. Over the past 34 years I have incorporated marketing knowledge and built upon this foundation to gain futher expertise over time. I have worked as an employee for companies such as The Gap, Johnson&Johnson, Baxter Healtcare, and Colgate Palmolive. I have worked as a consultant for a long list of industries and organizations including the New York State Department of Labor, GE, Pepsi, McDonalds, KB Toys, Phoenix Life Insurance... Read More

Public Speaking

I have trained clients on public speaking techniques over the past 17 years. Many have been PowerPoint clients, who needed coaching on how to deliver the presentation. I have held leadership responsibilities throughout my 34 year career which required public speaking. I have facilitated countless training sessions, presentations, and meetings.

Career Development

I have coached/trained clients over the past 17 years on career development, resume writing, cover letters, interview preparation, interview techniques, and career research/strategy. Additionally teach clients on the computer applications that are vital for career advancement, tailored for their goals. I have mentored others for most of my career.

Marketing

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing Management in 1979. Over the past 34 years I have incorporated marketing knowledge and built upon this foundation to gain further expertise over time. I have taught clients how to enhance their marketing campaigns for over 17 years. I utilize marketing efforts daily in my business. Social media is something I use every day.

Microsoft Access

I have trained users on Access 95 through Access 2010.
Training has been for individuals and small groups. For most of my clients I created customized Access training manuals using specifics for their database.
I have developed at least 50 databases, customized for the client. I use Access on a regular basis for my business.
I understand relational databases, and have a unique way to teach it to other so they understand, as it's a little harder to grasp than the other Office...

Microsoft Outlook

Since 1994 I have used Outlook for my business and personal purposes. I have found many clients have requested training in Outlook with varying focus on Calendar, Email, Contacts, and Tasks. I have saved countless clients time by teaching them shortcuts and tips to work efficiently to manage their communications and appointments. I have written training guides customized for the clients to serve as a reference. Email etiquette is something else I have trained users on. I think Outlook is an important... Read More

Microsoft Windows

Whenever I bring a new client on to train, I ask them if they understand how to use Windows and Windows explorer. I believe that in order for users to learn other MS Office applications, that they need to learn how to navigate in the Windows environment and know where their files are being stored. I am dedicated to teaching how to customize the desktop, mouse attributes, and most importantly file management in Windows Explorer (create new folders, rename, move, create subfolders, desktop shortcuts... Read More

Microsoft Publisher

Publisher is a creative application that allows users to make their own marketing collateral. I have used Publisher for over 17 years to make flyers, business cards, postcards, mail merge, and more. I have taught others to use Publisher, helping them craft a branding strategy and using Publisher to create their marketing materials. I have a easy to understand style to help users easily learn how to use the textboxes, gridlines, and application features. The learning curve is fairly short for users... Read More

Microsoft Project

I love training Project because it is a tool to help keep team members on task and accountable for deadlines they are responsible for. I think of it as an Excel spreadsheet as 3D! My experience extends across many industries, as I have taught staff at large organizations such as GE and Pepsi, and smaller organizations such as manufacturing and IT departments. It is a great way to keep track of resources and materials, and find displaying milestones and end date maintains control of the project... Read More
