In late 2020, I decided to self-publish a handbook which provides a detailed guide of the customizations and methods I have developed over the last 15 years of sales and project management to utilize Microsoft Outlook as a full task management tool instead of just an email client. I found that publishing a book is intimidating! What will people think of it? What types of criticisms will I get? However, I decided to do it anyway, albeit quietly, just to see what happens. I have been very encouraged to see the sales it has generated and even pretty good reviews for a first time publisher! So, I now decided to add this to my LinkedIn page as a way to encourage others to give it a look with the hope that you will find that the methods described result in the same types of efficiencies I have come to know over my career. I look forward to your feedback, and even your criticisms! Afterall, that is how we grow.
