10 Practical Strategies for Dealing with Change

dealing with changeAlready this year, I have talked to many people in the workplace who are experiencing all kinds of changes; everything from company mergers and acquisitions (the biggest one) to job changes, project restructuring, getting a new supervisor to personal change.

I have been speaking and writing about change for 25+ years. It is one of my favorite topics to speak on because everyone has to deal with change personally and professionally. I like to speak about change because I can relate to numerous types of changes and have learned to make change work for me, especially when it is a change I don’t want.

Change is a part of life. You cannot afford to not embrace change. If you don’t learn to manage it, you will be swallowed up by the wave of change. Below, I have listed many of the strategies I have used for decades to thrive on change. You may find that some strategies work better than others depending on the particular situation. [Read more…]

Overworked But Underutilized: Go From Order Taker to Cognitive Being

overworked-but- underutilized

Are You Overworked But Underutilized?

One of the most common complaints we hear from modern administrative professionals is that they feel busy—overwhelmed even—but they still aren’t really being utilized. The problem? Today’s tech-savvy executives are independent and self-sufficient, and many don’t even know how to leverage an assistant. As a result, you’re left stifled, with a to-do list full of mundane tasks but still unable to contribute the value you’re truly capable of.

Sound familiar? Joan Burge, CEO of Office Dynamics, has been in your shoes, and she’s overcome these exact same challenges. Today, after 25+ years as the top trainer of administrative professionals, Joan believes the solution requires a fundamental shift in approach—going from “order taker” to “cognitive being.” This core philosophy involves changing how you see your role and how you interact with your partner(s). Simply by engaging your intellect in new ways, you have the power to maximize your administrative potential.

In this webinar, Joan will share some of her time-tested strategies to help you escape the everyday monotony and experience true administrative power. [Read more…]

BIG Change: It Takes BIG Faith

Have the Faith to Change Your LifeHave faith for big change

Do you have the faith to change your life? When you approach a situation that you wish you could change but it appears to be impossible, that’s when we need our faith more than ever! Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Faith in action is when something seems so unrealistic, so out of reach, we have the faith to step out and go for it without knowing 100% of the detail on how we’ll get there and we’re not guaranteed a specific outcome. It’s easy to step out and initiate change when we’re comfortable in what we’re about to do and we know there’s a good chance it’s going to turn out. That’s easy! [Read more…]
