I have attended your life skills session “Lean to manage your e-mails like a pro” at EAIE 2016 conference in Liverpool. Your deep knowledge of the subject and excellent coaching skills made an indelible impression on me. Thought it’s been two years since your seminar, the topic remains relevant and I would be more than happy to share my positive experience with colleagues here at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania.
I wonder would you agree to come to Lithuania and deliver a couple of seminars for University’s staff? I am sure we would go alongside with details, if you decide to come.
Thank you for your comment, Ginatre. We’re glad to hear you have enjoyed our session back in 2016. One of our team members has just gotten in touch with you via email. Happy Ninja-ing! 🙂
