"I have been a Microsoft Office user for many years and consider myself fairly savvy regarding its nuances. I was therefore happily surprised to find the Take Back Your Life course more useful than I could have imagined. It gave me a great appreciation for the foundational rationale behind the Microsoft Office Suite's design, proving the suite offers sufficient complexity to accommodate the most demanding work scenarios, yet is simple enough that even a novice Office user can implement a system that makes sense. In the McGhee program, I was hearing very plain information on how to make the Microsoft Office tool set work for me. The McGhee course didn't require that I bend my own system into something unfamiliar. Instead, I learned (by doing) how to put my knowledge of planning, organizing, and prioritizing to work. I recommend this seminar without reservation and hope to attend more sessions again in the future."

"The Take Back Your Life system and executive coaching sessions have been amazing. This is not just another time management system. It is a detailed holistic approach that creates a paradigm shift about the way that you work. The system has allowed me to focus on my objectives and delegate projects in a manner that is fulfilling to both me and my team. As a result, I've found a significant amount of time to do the strategic thinking I need to grow my business and now have more time to spend with my family and friends."

"Implementing the principles and tools taught in this course has improved my productivity and effectiveness significantly. I get more done, am more organized, and feel greater peace of mind. If only I had discovered these principles and applied Outlook’s powerful organizing tools earlier."

"Since using Sally’s system, Outlook is now so much more than just e-mail. I can attest that having the discipline and using this system has really improved the quality of my life. My mornings are no longer filled with bombarding attacks and feelings of apprehension, of what have I forgotten to handle. Instead, they are structured and the path of what needs to be accomplished each day, each week, each month is very clear. There is a feeling of calm confidence. Things get done. Very little 'falls between the cracks' anymore. It allows me to keep focus on the important things and gives me the courage to say 'no' to the less important. Simple tools, like the 4 D’s for Decision Making, drastically changed the way I manage e-mails. And while my inbox is still not completely down to zero, the size is much more manageable. On the corporate level, each manager uses it to varying degrees. The big advantage here is everyone understands the basics and the system provides a common platform on which we can all connect. Not only has it helped in my professional life, but in my personal life as well. I find I now have more time for family and friends. Weekends no longer 'fly by' unproductively. Plans are accomplished, be it some home improvement project or some personal relaxation/reflection down time. This productivity system has been an invaluable tool to allow me to take back control of my time and accomplish my priorities and it has vastly helped me to improve my work/life balance."

"The McGhee methodology has proven very useful to me. Being able to capture personal and professional action items quickly, easily, and in one location has freed my mind for more strategic work. I am also learning how to use the calendar to manage my time effectively. It seems obvious to me now, but I wasn’t doing it. I recall telling my consultant during my training that I couldn’t calendar vacation time due to too many commitments. He insisted. I calendared and I actually took my vacation!"
