Meet Michelle Hamer

“I understand that you’ve got more important things to do than Google a solution for a Microsoft problem…or worse: stare at Google and try to figure out the right words to search!

“When it comes to all things Microsoft, I’m known as the Shortcut Queen.  I teach people quick and easy ways to become more professional and more productive.

“Nothing lights me up more than seeing my clients realise they can apply the learning instantly… AND THEN seeing them realise just how much time it’s going to save them throughout their working lives.

“I’ll never forget the time I asked two potential clients to select a sentence in Word.  Each person took approximately three seconds, clicking and dragging their mouse through the text to highlight the line.  Then I asked them to time me while I did the same thing.  It took me a millisecond.  How?  I used a shortcut key rather than my mouse.

“They were even more amazed when they worked out the time saved against their hourly cost (across a staffing base of 2000 people), realising that I could save the company thousands of dollars annually.

PS: I worked with this client for about 20 years following that demonstration.”
