21% of executives admit to email addiction; new Business Transformed program ends
email addiction

June 7, 2007, Paul Gossen, The Breakthrough Coach, announces Business Transformed, a
workshop, book and coaching program to end email addiction. A free ebook, End Email
Addiction, is available for download at http://www.businesstransformed.com/end
email addiction.pdf

Just say no, to email addiction. In a recent Symantec survey, 21% of executives
admitted to being email dependent - compulsively checking their e-mail and panicking
when they can\'t. Email addicts suffer a 10-point drop in IQ, more than twice the
drop recorded by marijuana users concluded a clinical trial of over a thousand
participants by HP and the University of London. They found email addicts developed
an inability to distinguish between trivial and important messages. 20% consistently
jeopardized important relationships by \"checking their messages\" in the middle of a
conversation. Moreover word "Crackberry" can now be found in the Canadian Oxford
Dictionary.

Like many Canadians, Wendy Alexander, a Director at the City of Mississauga was
spending 3 to 4 hours a day dealing with email. "Email was getting in the way of my
Family and my job." Since taking the program, she now spends less than 45 minutes a
day on email. "I have more control of my day and a healthier relationship with
email."

Business Transformed assists people to confront their chaotic and reactive email
work habits and design their own proactive system and relationship with email. The
program is an interactive inquiry in which Executives, managers and information
workers tell the truth about their bad email habits and look at strategies to regain
control of their email. In this workshop, book and coaching program, people design
their personal email plan, manage realistic expectations with co-workers and build a
healthier relationship with technology. The participants leave the program with an
action plan to take back control of their email.

"Email overload is a hot button management issue right now," says Paul Gossen,
Director of Business Transformed and program founder, public speaker and author of
the book Business Transformed. "Unless individuals tell the truth about their email
habits and work as a team to make agreements on how to use email, email addiction
will continue to increase.
