The teachings of a curious communicator # 3 - Excel Hints and Tips

Data guru Nick Owen has kindly offered to give a presentation on how to tackle the delights of Excel. The talk starts at 13.10 in the bar this Thursday (5th July). Nick has promised to make it as sexy as possible, although I'm not sure what he meant by that. Why not come along and find out?

What's it all about? Some short-cuts and skills in Excel useful for day-to-day use.

Who's it for? Anyone. Both beginners and seasoned users should find something of benefit to them.

Why should you go? Because Excel is important. The ability to process, analyse and present data is a skill that everyone requires.

What you will get out of it? A practical presentation and a short document to take away as a reminder list.

The teachings of a curious communicator # 1 - The value of questions

By Chris Buckley.

What is it all about?: Ever wondered why some people seem to know more than you? And why some people's briefings seem to be better than yours? Or perhaps, why some people appear to get their way more often than you? Or why some people look good in anything? I can be of no use on the last point, but the rest might have something to do with how you ask questions.

Who's it for?: Anyone who has to ask questions at work - accounts through to creative.

Why should you go?: Not all questions are equal. Some questions will find you the answers you really need. Find out what these magical questions are.

What you will get out of it?: A framework for better questioning that will help you in all parts of life.

Where and when?: Thursday 12th April, in the bar. From 1.o5pm - 1.55pm.
