This 90-minute interactive session is designed for busy professionals who use Microsoft Teams daily but want to work smarter, not harder.

You’ll learn how to avoid common mistakes, simplify your workflow, and discover lesser-known tools that can make a big difference to your productivity. Perfect for both office-based and remote teams.
