Online Masterclass Series: How to be more focused and productive working remotely and from the office
Would you like smarter, simpler and better ways of working that allow for enhanced productivity, more flexibility and greater control over your workload?
This online masterclass training by iMastery, drills into the techniques, tools and tips that enable you to win back time, feel your best, do your best work and enjoy the satisfaction of making progress with meaningful work. You will uplift your output and transform the way you work.
This training is highly relevant – working from home is the new normal and some degree of remote working is likely to continue after Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. Learning how to optimise working from home (WFH) will set you up for success now and into the future.
About the training:
- This masterclass series is made up of 7 weekly masterclasses; each covering a different topic.
- Each masterclass runs for 75 minutes and is held online, live via Zoom.
- Between masterclasses, you’ll be supported with practical activities designed to enhance your learning and immediately save you time.
- While it is intended that participants take the entire series, you can pick and choose individual masterclasses to undertake at a per-masterclass price.
- Some masterclasses involve demonstrations on a PC, and at times in Outlook, Microsoft 365.
- The majority of principles covered in this program apply broadly regardless of the software and apps being used. However, there are some timesaving email tips that apply only to Outlook on a PC.

“I loved the Better Ways of Working training and found it very beneficial. Wendy kept us engaged and focused in an online setting. The online format meant we could complete the training with people Australia-wide, plus it gave us a chance to put new learnings into action immediately.”
– Amy, Technical Training Specialist
“You present so wonderfully, Wendy! I love your natural, authentic and animated delivery style and the way you incorporated vulnerability and human-ness into the presentation. I can understand why your word of mouth referral rate is so high. All the content was relevant and engaging, offering great reminders and new insights. I also love the vast array of resources you referenced. The format of shorter sessions over several days helps integrate the learning.”
– Joanne, Customer Service Advisor
“I first undertook productivity training with Wendy 18 months ago. Being able to build on the skills I already had, I took so much out of this training. Wendy explains everything so well, using real-world examples so participants can see how they might implement them into their day. I can’t speak more highly of Better Ways of Working. We can all benefit from working differently, for increased productivity.”
