Office Dynamics - Executive And Administrative Assistant Training

By 3 Comments

All the free training for administrative assistants we offer in one place!

 

Free_Training_For_Administrative_AssistantsAt Office Dynamics International we love what we do. Part of what we do is provide tools and services to administrative professionals to enhance the quality of their work-life that promote administrative excellence. Below you will find all the free training for administrative assistants we offer!

We offer high-level coaching, onsite workshops, an annual conference for administrative excellence, certification and designation courses (World Class Assistant™ and Star Achievement Series®), and more. However, we aren’t able to reach every administrative professional with our premium programs.

We have a ton of value to bring to the profession and we certainly don’t want to exclude the many assistants who aren’t receiving funding to attend our live events.

Learn more about us here in our We BELIEVE credo.

Our free training programs for administrative professionals began in 2009 with the 26 Weeks to Administrative Excellence pre-recorded video program. As the year’s passed we continued to add a few additional programs >view our free video programs<.

We hear from assistants on a daily basis that they love our training materials but they work for a nonprofit or their organization doesn’t believe in training their administrative professionals. We don’t want any of these assistants to miss out on continued education!  [Read more…]

A Conversation with Joan

Over the past 20 years, I have attended several conferences ranging in topics from fiction writing to motivational to professional training and even a full weekend trying to become a more educated outdoor woman. Each conference offered a unique learning opportunity, but none of them provided the ideal balance of professional and personal development that last year’s conference did.

The Conference for Administrative Excellence not only provided many educational moments with a variety of speakers, I was introduced to some amazing people in my field as well. The conference exceeded all of my expectations.

How better to share the conference experience than a conversation with the creator herself – The professional, personable, and mentor to many, Joan Burge! I’m honored to have had the opportunity to ask Joan a few questions. Her answers are enlightening and encompass the experience that helps create one of the most respected conferences ever offered. I highly recommend reading them more than once (with a notepad!).

There is a team behind the amazing conference event. From the first phone call to register for the conference to picking up my name tag, the entire team carried out the professionalism of Joan. I never imagined my experience and learning would stretch so far beyond those few amazing days in October last year. We have so many ways to learn from Joan; webinars, books, blog posts, etc., yet here I am with another amazing opportunity to know and learn even more!

A Conversation with Joan

Q: You’ve been a unique blend of experience as an assistant and now executive and business owner (with so much in between!). Can you share a mentorship opportunity you had as an assistant from another assistant and one or two takeaways from that opportunity? [Read more…]

Thank You!

It’s not very often that Office Dynamics can celebrate another book release by Joan but when we do, the amount of support shown is truly amazing. Joan’s new book, Joan’s Greatest Administrative Secrets Revealed, is set to be released in September, 2018.

As a thank you, we’d like to give you three free chapters from Joan’s book, Who Took My Pen…Again?

So, once again, thank you from the entire Office Dynamics International team and we hope you enjoy reading these chapters.

 

Chapter 7, Creative Thinker

If you ask a roomful of kindergarteners, “Who here is a creative artist?” every hand will go up. Yet by the time that same question is asked in middle school, less than half will still raise their hands. What changed?

We are all created to be creative. And being creative adds value every day. However, within each of us is also a highly developed critic. This critic evaluates and judges what we plan, think, do, envision. When we harshly judge our “product,” the result as well as future ensuing ideas, concepts, and vision, suffers. Soon our creativity shrivels.

Many of us lose that “free spirit” creative thinking. Because we encounter results that may be different or varied from our dream, we give up.

Chapter 11, Invest (in yourself)

When we think of “investment” we automatically think of dollar signs. Don’t limit yourself to such a small portion of what investing in you means. To invest in you means to believe in you. To pick up a book on a subject you want to learn more about, taking a class at the gym, volunteer at your local soup kitchen – you discover more about yourself by taking the time to step back from routine living to do these types of things, such as to set a goal and attain it.

In these current times of uncertainty, more than ever before people have leaned toward the entrepreneurial mindset, but in fact, we always need to be seeking ways to grow ourselves, whether in a recession or not. We should always act upon what it is we believe in at all times!

Chapter 13, Lead

Administrative professionals and executive assistants often see themselves in their support roles as being “non-leaders.”Nothing, however, could be further from the truth!

You may not be the CEO or VP of the company, but you ARE a leader. A senior-level human resources associate once said something profound: she said it was the administrator’s job to make the job important. Each administrator in your organization needs to raise her sights to elevate the career so that she, and others who follow, can grow and become better in their skills.

Leading is investing; you can lead others by investing in them.
