Overview
This program has been designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively use Outlook as your organisational tool.
The “Practical Productivity” training course will provide participants with a totally practical and workable solution to managing their workload and time more effectively.
This is not a standard Time Management training course. Although we cover ‘Time Management Best Practice’ at the beginning, unless there is a practical way of actually applying that theory, it is just that - ‘Theory’. Therefore, the emphasis of the day is on the practical application of that theory using Microsoft Outlook as the tool.

Do not let e-mail control your day – instead, you can take control through the customisation of MS Outlook and by using various features & tools within Outlook. Learn how to prioritise, set, manage, and achieve realistic goals & tasks you set for yourself. Learn how to share information with other users and work more effectively as a group.

This course is suitable for users of MS Outlook (Classic).

All participants will be given access to a library of tutorials by way of an email containing the links to the relevant topics. As we record these tutorials ourselves the content/examples used will match those used during the classroom training. As a result, the participants will find them to be relevant and easy to follow. The tutorials will be available to participants for a limited time period (6 months following the course).
 	
A Cork Chamber Skillnet / E-Bridge Certificate of Attendance will be awarded to each participant on completion of all courses. A sample copy is attached for your approval.
 	
This course is also a CPD accredited course accounting for 6 hours of approved CPD credit.

Overview
Power BI is a business analytics service developed by Microsoft. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Power BI allows users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, both on-premises and in the cloud, and then transform and model the data for analysis.
Key features of Power BI include:

 	
Data Connectivity: Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sources, including Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud-based and on-premises data sources, and many others.
 	
Data Transformation and Modelling: Users can shape and transform data using Power BI's Power Query Editor. This allows for cleaning and formatting data to make it suitable for analysis. The data modelling capabilities enable the creation of relationships between different data tables.
 	
Data Visualization: Power BI offers a variety of visualization options, including charts, graphs, maps, and tables. Users can create interactive and engaging reports and dashboards to represent data in a meaningful way.
 	
Dashboard and Report Creation: Power BI allows users to create interactive dashboards and reports by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. These dashboards can then be shared with others.
 	
Natural Language Queries: Users can ask questions about their data using natural language queries, and Power BI will generate visualizations based on the data.
 	
Power BI Service: The Power BI service enables users to share and collaborate on reports and dashboards in the cloud. It also provides features for scheduling data refreshes, managing security, and more.

Overview
Conflict in the workplace is not only inevitable—it’s necessary for growth and innovation. But without the right tools, it can lead to tension, misunderstandings, and fractured relationships.
This 90-minute webinar explores how to approach conflict with clarity and confidence by focusing on connection rather than correction. Participants will learn to navigate challenging conversations, understand different perspectives, and create the conditions for trust, collaboration, and mutual respect.

Through real-world examples and simple, practical techniques, this session helps professionals turn moments of disagreement into opportunities for stronger communication and deeper alignment.
Key Topics

 	
Re-framing Conflict: From Tension to Opportunity
 	
Understanding Perspectives: The Other Side of the Story
 	
Building Bridges: Creating Harmony through Effective Communication

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

 	
Identify the nature of workplace conflict and what’s really at stake
 	
Choose a conflict navigation approach suited to the moment and relationship
 	
Recognize signs of emotional disconnection and respond with curiosity and clarity

Overview
Power BI is a business analytics service developed by Microsoft. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Power BI allows users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, both on-premises and in the cloud, and then transform and model the data for analysis, reporting and decision-making.
Key features of Power BI include:

 	
Data Connectivity: Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sources, including Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud-based and on-premises data sources, and many others.
 	
Data Transformation and Modelling: Users can shape and transform data using Power BI's Power Query Editor. This allows for cleaning and formatting data to make it suitable for analysis. The data modelling capabilities enable the creation of relationships between different data tables.
 	
Data Visualization: Power BI offers a variety of visualization options, including charts, graphs, maps, and tables. Users can create interactive and engaging reports and dashboards to represent data in a meaningful way.
 	
Dashboard and Report Creation: Power BI allows users to create interactive dashboards and reports by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. These dashboards can then be shared with others.
 	
Natural Language Queries: Users can ask questions about their data using natural language queries, and Power BI will generate visualizations based on the data.
 	
Power BI Service: The Power BI service enables users to share and collaborate on reports and dashboards in the cloud. It also provides features for scheduling data refreshes, managing security, and more.
