Course Summary

How to Save Precious Time With Excel And Leave Your Clients Impressed Every Time

 (When You Know the ‘How’ It’s Easier to Wow)  

This course will equip you with the essential skills you need to work using Microsoft Excel.
Please note: this course is for the Windows Version of Excel - I am using Office 365 and this is the up date version  - You can find the Mac Version Here

When you know HOW to use Excel properly it’s a real time-saver (and often a ‘life-saver’).  The more you use it the more you will wonder how you ever managed without it.  You get more done in less time. You can focus on the quality of the task rather than the frustration of constantly thinking “How do I even do this?”.   You serve your clients better – and can take on more clients with confidence.  Excel covers so many bases, including:

💥 Keeping lists
💥 Making and managing checklists
💥 Monitoring expenses
💥 Making stuff add up with accurate speed
💥 Tracking events
💥 Working out your client’s best-selling product, book or thing from the data

Let me show you how to set up your worksheet in seconds.
 
Let me guide you, step-by-step, to create calculations and formulas with flair and without fuss.  

Let me demonstrate how to format everything so it looks clean, polished and professional – just how your client likes it. You want to make it easy to understand and have the whole thing working for you without a worry.  

I love Excel. And when you know the ‘how to’ essentials you’re going to love it, too.  This course is brimming with content. It includes how to:

✅ Set up your worksheet with ease
✅ Know and understand the different parts of your worksheet and workbook
✅ Move around the application like gliding on ice
✅ Use simple formulas to add, subtract, multiply and divide
✅ Perform different kinds of calculations, e.g. working out the VAT
✅ Format your data so it looks great and impresses clients
✅ Protect your formulas so they’re as safe as Fort Knox
 
Too many VA’s leave the learning too late. They flit from client job to client job without really getting to grips with Excel.  

Which means you could spend hours and hours and hours trying to work things out for yourself.  

Or you can learn the essentials in one course and have a faster, superior and more elegant way of doing things and getting things done.  

This time. Every time.  

More time for you. More time to better serve your client. More time to bring in new clients.  

If you have clients who are always asking you to sort out their expenses, create and manage lists, or analyse their data – you are going to get so much from this course.  No time like the present...

Your Trainer – Shelley Fishel
Introducing “The Queen of Microsoft Office”

Shelley Fishel

Meet Shelley Fishel: Your Microsoft Office Maestro

Shelley's journey didn't follow the traditional path. At just 17, she left school to run her father's business—a experience that gave her an unshakeable understanding of what it means to juggle multiple responsibilities and keep everything running smoothly. Sound familiar?

Twenty-five years ago, when Shelley re-entered the workforce as her children grew, she discovered her true calling: helping assistants like you master the tools that make or break your day. She started by streamlining admin processes, then found her passion for training, eventually launching her own company focused exclusively on what PAs and EAs need to know.

Why Assistants Love Learning from Shelley

She gets how you think. Shelley understands that you're the lynchpin holding everything together. You have diverse responsibilities, multiple contacts, and one overarching goal: helping your executive perform at their absolute best. She's designed her training around this reality.

She speaks your language. No tech jargon or unnecessary complexity. Shelley breaks down Microsoft Office features into simple, practical steps that you can implement immediately. As she puts it, she's a "lover of lists" who helps you get things done "quicker, easier, and more elegantly—without drowning in Google first."

She's proven her expertise. With over 2.5 million books sold worldwide (translated into multiple languages), 20+ years of hands-on training experience, and 10,000+ training hours under her belt, Shelley knows Microsoft Office inside and out. But more importantly, she knows how to teach it in a way that sticks.

The "Angel on Your Shoulder" Approach

As one client perfectly said: "Shelley's like the angel on my shoulder." Her bite-sized lessons (most under 10 minutes) let you solve problems faster than drinking a cup of tea. No more frantic Googling while 

while your executive waits for results.

Real results: One client reduced a 3-hour monthly task to 30 minutes after just one training session—reclaiming nearly a full day every month.

When you learn from Shelley, you're getting a partner who understands the unique pressures of supporting executives and wants to help you feel confident, capable, and truly indispensable to your team.
