As a driven small business owner, you have dreams of taking your ideas to corporate businesses; you know your products and services can really help them and you have a plan of action to get that work.

But wait, what? Corporates expect you to communicate with them using Microsoft Teams?!

Do you:

• A. Shrug your shoulders despondently and say to yourself, "Well that’s my big idea scuppered then, because I’m no good with tech and it’s all full of jargon I don’t understand anyway."
• B. Tell yourself that you’ll be OK on the day, because you’ve used it once or twice, so maybe no one will notice that you’re a bit rusty… although maybe a quick refresher to get your skills up to speed would be handy.
• C. Make the executive decision (you are the chief decision maker and owner of your small business after all) that NOTHING is getting in your way, all you have to do is find someone to help you get to grips with Microsoft Teams and you’re ready for action! Besides, why should your competitors have the edge over you?

We’re so glad you’ve found us and we’re ready to sharpen your skills.

If you answered A, you’re not on your own; many people tell us this. However, these days, most people can drive a car, use a smart phone or use social media, so clearly being “no good with tech” is not the problem; often we find that fear of the unknown and anxiety relating to not knowing what to do or why you should (or should not) do something with the tech, usually plays a bigger part.

Instead, ask yourself this: if you have never been shown how to do something, how can you be expected to know? Be kind to yourself! That’s why our Lunch and Learn sessions give you what you need to know, delivered using plain, jargon-free language and we’ve helped people at all levels and abilities; it’s not big and it’s not clever to blind someone with science is it?

Will your lack of Teams skills mean the end of the line or start of the line on your journey to working with corporates? If you have an open mind and want to learn, we hope we can be the very ticket you need to get your journey underway.

If you’re feeling a bit rusty and opted for B, that’s OK, we can help you too.

Consider what you might do ahead of travelling to an important face-to-face meeting; knowing where you’re going and how you’re going to get there so that you arrive in good time is paramount.

When you have a Teams meeting with a corporate client, knowing how to use Teams is a bit like planning your travel to a face-to-face meeting; you still need to know where you are going and which route to take so you don’t get lost and so you arrive on time.

Our step-by-step instructions will help you do just that, enabling you to confidently use Teams to get to that important corporate client meeting with ease.

If you chose C, way to go! A bit like becoming the proud owner of a car before knowing how to drive, you know you need to learn so that you can get your licence and go places!

Our Lunch and Learn: Get to Grips with Microsoft Teams session will equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to get you in the driving seat of Teams and move the barriers, previously blocking your way and hindering your journey, to one side. Nothing is stopping you now! We can help you.

Remove the tech barriers and embrace your potential

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to communicate and collaborate with corporates seamlessly so that you can concentrate on delivering your expertise to them instead of worrying that your technical abilities are holding you back?

In this Lunch and Learn session you will explore the basics of using Teams, so that you can communicate your expertise to corporates with confidence using the tech they expect you to know and build your corporate communications more easily.

Who will I learn from?

Hi, I’m Mike and I’m a user-focused IT professional with over 30 years’ experience helping corporates and organisations of all sizes run their businesses with systems I’ve designed, developed, consulted upon, implemented and delivered training for. The user experience is at the heart of everything that I do.

My ability to help people using step-by-step instructions and jargon-free language, plus my expert knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams got me noticed by Microsoft themselves in the pandemic where I helped their corporate clients migrate to the cloud and continue to do business in a world that seemed to be shutting down.

My insider knowledge, experience and calm approach will show you exactly what you need to do to open your world to the potential that can be gained for your business when you’re able to master the basics of Microsoft Teams.

Take the first step and book with us today. You’ll be so glad you did.
