To my precious grandson, Caden you are my inspiration, dedication, and the light of my life. I am so blessed to watch you grow in age and every stage. You are inscribed in my heart the way these letters are in the pages of this book. Remember to always be kind, caring, and the best version of yourself as you move through your life.

Gran Gran, Linda Foulkes

Ambarish Tarte is a Mumbai-based Microsoft Certified Professional and a globetrotter who conducts corporate training for various corporate giants/multinational companies across the globe. With Microsoft Office and Office 365 end user apps being his forte, he operates as a corporate training consultant with a team of associates in almost every major city in India. He began his corporate training stint in 2011 and has had the privilege to train delegates of over 20 nationalities in classroom and online sessions. Being able to add a bit of humor and always keep participants engaged during training is a unique selling point that Ambarish has achieved over the years. Ambarish is also a YouTuber and runs various social media pages.

I thank my parents for their continued support during my stint so far as a corporate training consultant. Quitting a full-time job and moving into freelancing requires support from your family and my parents left no stone unturned in doing so. I would also like to thank Mr. Saiesh G Tripathi, my colleague, for his input. Thanks to Ms. Neha Sikka, my protg, for the initial screening of the chapters in this book.
