  • Google Tools - Become a Google Workspace Power User

    Jan
    15

    In this hands-on 2-hour workshop, small business owners learn how to fully utilize their Google Workspace Tools to streamline communication, collaboration, and information management. Through live demos and real-world examples, participants master the essential skills that separate effective operators from those constantly searching for files and switching between tools. You'll learn to set up email filters that save time weekly, organize files so they're found in seconds, create a booking calendar, collaborate on documents in real-time with clients and team members, capture leads with automated forms, host professional video calls with advanced features, and leverage Gemini AI built into every tool. Beyond individual features, the class teaches strategy: when to automate repetitive tasks, when to outsource to a contractor, and when to just do it manually, the decision framework most business owners lack. By the end of two hours, participants walk away with complete demo scripts they can replicate, ready-to-use templates, browser organization skills for managing multiple projects and accounts, an automation decision framework, and a phased 30-day implementation challenge so they can adopt everything gradually without overwhelm. This is a masterclass in productivity and strategic setup designed specifically for entrepreneurs juggling multiple clients, projects, and responsibilities who want their tools to work for them instead of against them.
