Office Dynamics Recap From Admin Pro Forum In Orlando

Our team recently had the opportunity to fly to Orlando, Florida and participate in the inaugural Admin Pro Forum event hosted by our friends at Business Management Daily. We always enjoy traveling together and our opportunities to do so are few and far between.

Jasmine Freeman & Joan Burge Traveling to Orlando for the Admin Pro Forum

 

I really love attending events for the administrative profession. It’s a great chance to network and show our support for the profession.

The administrative community forms bonds quickly and tightly. I’ve built an outstanding network around the world with professionals at all levels through attending events like this one. I also know many assistants who have done the same and have thriving administrative networks today along with much career success.

While in Orlando we thought it would be fun to record a few Facebook Live posts while we were at the event. We hope you enjoy these videos of our event recaps each day; you can find them embedded in this post below. We hope to see you at an event in the near future! [Read more…]

Revolutionary Insights Into Self-Leadership for Administrative Professionals

This is a replay of the free webinar offered June 2016 titled Revolutionary Insights Into Self-Leadership (for administrative professionals).

Administrative professionals don’t typically think of themselves as leaders; even the most successful struggle with the idea! After all, leaders are the people we work for, right? They guide the organization, make important decisions and steer the team toward success. We tend to discount our own leadership qualities and the many ways in which we already take the lead each and every day. As a result, our inner leader never gets the opportunity to really shine.

Administrative professionals don’t typically think of themselves as leaders; even the most successful struggle with the idea! After all, leaders are the people we work for, right? They guide the organization, make important decisions and steer the team toward success. We tend to discount our own leadership qualities and the many ways in which we already take the lead each and every day. As a result, our inner leader never gets the opportunity to really shine.

Only a rare few administrative professionals have learned to tap into the power of the most advanced leadership skill. Those who do, experience an elevated level of autonomy, credibility, and authority. We’re talking about “self-leadership,” a revolutionary concept that separates the everyday admin from the extraordinary one. By leveraging self-leadership, we distinguish ourselves as independent and competent trusted business partners.

This topic is near and dear to Joan Burge, CEO of Office Dynamics and former executive assistant. She’s witnessed its power first hand and helped hundreds of administrative professionals hone their self-leadership skills. She even has a full 2-day course on the subject! In this month’s free webinar, Joan will share some of her own experiences and revolutionary insights on the topic. Even those who have completed the course will gain new ideas and a fresh perspective—and those who haven’t will get a high-level peek into some of its most important elements.

Learning Highlights From This Webinar

As an attendee, you will learn…

  • What self-leadership actually means and how it differs from traditional “leadership.”
  • The 9 key areas where you need to focus, to become a masterful self-leader in the workplace. (Plus helpful resources for continued learning!)
  • Why self-leadership is the essential missing piece for revolutionizing your administrative career.
  • How to approach your work, career, and LIFE with intention and a sense of mission.Simple strategies to boldly embrace your inner leader—and enhance your productivity, collaboration, and creativity at the same time!
  • Simple strategies to boldly embrace your inner leader—and enhance your productivity, collaboration, and creativity at the same time!

Is Profanity In The Office Tolerable or Terror?

is-swearing-at-work-offensive

This month our question from our friends at Business Management Daily.

Question: “I am an administrative assistant at a very large company and my cubicle is right outside the door of one of the directors. He happens to loudly use a particular common curse word whenever he’s frustrated. I cringe every time I sense it coming. In most cases I try to scurry away from my desk so I don’t have to hear it, but sometimes I do get caught off guard. Do you have any suggestions for how I can deal with this, or approach the problem directly?” – Anonymous & Frustrated [Read more…]

How to Build Consensus in Place of Conflict

how to build consensusAs more companies embrace the spirit of teamwork, you must learn to work with other people and truly become a team player to get the work done and help your organization be more competitive. In fact, if you are like most employees across the country, your organization has right-sized or may intend to merge or downsize, thereby creating more work to be done by fewer people. In addition, the constant push for quality and improved customer service necessitates cooperation among employees.

Conflict can hold you back from being your best and giving your best. You don’t feel confident or happy when you are in conflict with co-workers or even a customer. Maybe right now you think of someone you work with whom you are in conflict. It doesn’t make you feel good, does it? It may be uncomfortable enough that you dread going to work. As long you come in contact with others, however, you will experience conflict.

Big or Small
Conflict does not necessarily mean a big blow out! Just different views and opinions can create undercurrent. You think a project should be completed one way and your peer thinks it should be done another way. Maybe your executive thinks you did not thoroughly plan his trip the way he would have liked and you believe you did an excellent job. It is the little disagreements and perspectives that hinder our performance—slow us down. So don’t ignore little misunderstandings. [Read more…]

There is Something to be Said for Endurance

JJ Villar, Lauren Birchmeier, and Jasmine Freeman. Who are they and what do they have in common?

JJ Villar is one of the best dancers and choreographers in Las Vegas. JJ is only 1 of 8 of the original performers in the Michael Jackson ONE Cirque show. He has endured several injuries, tough workouts 5 days a week, having to stay perfectly physically fit, and mentally alert. He is in the show 5 days a week and they do 2 shows per night. It is not unusual for JJ to go to the gym at midnight after performing in 2 shows! JJ has endurance and he has endured. There are about 90 performers in the MJ ONE show and only 8 of the originals are left. Think about that statistic for a moment. [Read more…]
