- What is my reason for being on the Office Dynamics web site?

- I am looking for an in-depth administrative or executive assistant training program.
- My executive told me to find a training program for our administrative assistants.

- My manager wants me to attend some type of training.

The clearer you are on your goals, the better investment you will make in professional development.

Start with something small such as purchasing a book or watching Joan’s videos. Most likely, you will then see what step you want to take next.
