7 Ways Executives Can Improve Communicating with Their Assistants

executive_and_assistant_training

I have been fortunate to gain a three-dimensional view of communication between executives and assistants:

I was an assistant for 20 years thus understanding what I needed from my executive so I could be effective. I worked with a variety of managers and executives, each with different personalities and communication styles.

Do You Have an Internal Admin Site or Hold Lunch N Learns Where You Work?

tips_for_administrative_assistants

Ask an Admin was created by Office Dynamics to help administrative professionals with their problems through the help of their peers. We don’t always have an answer to each individuals problem but we know some of you might. Please read the question and comment below.

Admin on SF Peninsula asks:

Do you have an internal admin site where you work? Or maybe you’re thinking of creating one?

I co-designed one at my company and am interested in collaborating with you.

An internal admin site is the main company site with all the links that admins find useful for their jobs centralized in one place.

Additionally, I am considering starting a monthly Admin Lunch N Learn at my place of work. My current vision would be to rotate topics and have a combination of speakers coming in. Topics related to the administrative profession would be discussed. Admins and outside speakers would have the opportunity to share their skills, experience, knowledge, etc.

If you have been a part of, or have attended anything such as these, I would like to connect with you to discuss.

I’m looking forward to your responses!
