In the Outlook Options pop-up window, select Mail from the left-hand navigation menu, then locate and click the Signatures button.

Step 5: Add Optional Links
Below the contact block, you may add the following optional lines:
- Schedule a call with me (insert your calendar link)
- Current Events | Upcoming Events (insert your page)
Note: For event sales teams, add the line entry regarding your sale link. All other teams should disregard this line entry.
Step 6: Follow Formatting Guidelines
Review the following formatting rules before finalizing your signature:
- Font must be Calibri, size 10.5
- Do not include Instagram, Facebook, or special waitlist links
- A LinkedIn page may be included only if you actively use it and post regularly
- You may add one bolded line for the next recommended event or current offering, and update it as the schedule changes
- Choose a sign-off you are comfortable with, such as “Live with Passion,” “Yours in Service,” or “With Gratitude”
- A quote may be added at the end — single-line quotes only
