Calendar and Inbox Management

Executive assistant, office manager, virtual assistant, team coordinator — I protect my director’s time and make sure nothing important is lost in the inbox.

You already hold the calendar and the inbox of a director, a team or a small office, and you want a written system so nothing depends only on your memory or your presence.

What you'll be able to do

• Build and maintain a shared calendar a director trusts without checking it twice
• Schedule across time zones — Douala, Paris, New York — without a single missed call
• Prepare a meeting file in advance and close it with a written follow-up
• Triage an inbox into folders and response rules that protect priority messages
• Draft and send correspondence on behalf of a manager, in the right tone and language
• Assemble a travel and logistics file that survives a change of plan

How it's built

The structure comes from free open material — the Google Workspace Learning Center, Microsoft Learn tutorials on Outlook and Calendar, and Alison’s administration and office skills courses. We add the time-zone, WhatsApp-versus-email boundary rules and the travel logistics reality of assistants coordinating across Central Africa, Europe and North America, which no global course covers.

What you earn

• Free completion records from Google, Microsoft and Alison, in your own name
• An LES Institute certificate covering an assessed calendar system, inbox rules and a real meeting and travel file

Requirements

• Secondary school completion
• Comfortable with a smartphone and a computer
• A working Gmail or Outlook account for the practical exercises
• Teaching in French or English, your choice
