I read Cyril Peupion's book and completely changed the way I manage my email which at that point was threatening to overtake my life! I thought what he had to share was so accessible and relevant to everyone who works that I invited him to speak to the BRW Fast Club at lunches in Melbourne and Sydney and the feedback has been fantastic.
