Who Took My Pen… Again? was created from a simple but powerful realization: the best insights about the administrative profession come from the people living it every day.
This book was born out of the Office Dynamics Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence, where hundreds of executive and administrative assistants gathered to learn, share, and challenge one another. As conversations unfolded, a clear theme emerged. The collective wisdom in the room was too valuable to stay within conference walls. The stories, strategies, lessons learned, and hard-earned truths needed to be captured and shared. This book is the result.
Written by executive assistants, for executive assistants, Who Took My Pen… Again? reflects the real-world demands of the role. It goes beyond theory and titles to address what it actually takes to add value, lead without authority, influence outcomes, and build a career with purpose and confidence. The content is drawn from multiple generations of high-performing administrative professionals across industries, making it both timeless and deeply practical.
This is not a book you read once and shelve. It is a reference, a guide, and a reminder of what is possible when you fully own your role and your potential.
