Dina,I still have sit tight... Lynda,"Debbie, refresh your browser" Wanda,performance appraisals as well in December and received a merit increase!! Just got word today from HR Jasmine Freeman,"Dina, try to clear cookies and refresh your browser. We're live." Joni ,Preach it! Kymberly,"Boy in my new role, distractions are even worse than before!! FOCUS!" Lydia,Our raises are dependent on setting and achieving goals...if goals aren't met then we have to list reasons why (most times it's easy bacuse we can't foresee changes that will happen that will impact our goals). Karen Swoopes,"Yes, I see and hear Joan just fine." Trisha Heil,Sometimes you have to just take the initiative before being asked to show what you are capable of. Jasmine Freeman,"Thanks, Karen! Glad you are here." Joni ,"I see Joan, live" Debi Libby from STL,"MIchelle - FUNNY!!! All my vacation revolve around the races. First Office Dynamics Conference I went to worked out with my yearly Vegas trek! Been to Pomona, Gateway in Illinois (of course, I""m just across the river). Thinking of going to Denver this year!"

You probably go to Epping, Englishtown, Norwalk, Seattle, Reading!!!" robert Lopez,Focus immovation and Learn Curve Trisha Heil,I'm with Dawn! Jasmine Freeman,"Yes, Dawn! Exactly!!!" Elizabeth,"Career Management, Focus & Learning Curve" Jasmine Freeman,1. Keep your ears and eyes open. Michelle,Always look ahead. Jasmine Freeman,Pay attention and read what comes across your inbox. Read what your exec reads. Listen to what people are saying. Julie Spoerl,Just lost sound? Julie Spoerl,"OK, sound is back. :)" Ivory,"This is so true, to keep your eyes on the road. Things can happen in a split second, even in a quiet and slow area." Diana,anticipate Tawanika,Trisha you can listen to a lot in 1.5 hours. I have 30 minute commute. Jasmine Freeman,2. Anticipate - start to think about slowing down if you are approaching a curve. Susan,Anticipate Melita,"Career Management, Focus and Innovation" Wanda,That's an every day occurrence - curves LOL Karen Swoopes,Hello to all my fellow Tennesseans on the webinar. Jasmine Freeman,3. Become laser focused. Debi Libby from STL,Only NASCAR goes left. Drag racers go STRAIGHT! Phyllis,It's interesting - all of this advice is contrary to the current rage to multi-task - is multi-tasking no longer the norm? Michelle,If you are turning you aren't going fast enough. Sheila,multi-tasking is almost a thing of the past Jasmine Freeman,Great Q! I'll save that for the Q&A because Joan has a lot to share on this topic. Sheila,as you cannot concentrate and focus on everything at once without quality and accuracy effected Bianca,Multi-tasking has been proven to be very wrong. Jasmine Freeman,"True, single-tasking is the new term." Linda,Studies show that multi-tasking is ineffective Diane,Sometimes you need to slowdown to check your priorities. Cathy,NASCAR goes left and right on off track roads. Watkins Glenn and Sonoma Michelle,These give me ideas to add to my resume. Jasmine Freeman,A new term we find being used is single-tasking. Tara,"RE: SLOWING DOWN: Accidents happen when you run out of 2 things: time and space. When one decreases, increase the other." Karen,take a moment to breathe Sunday,Focus on one thing at a time. Catch our breath. Michelle,That's a good one Tara Bianca,Single-tasking? Please. Is there really a need to have a word/phrase for doing what needs to be done. Susan,I was thinking did the screen freeze lol Sheila,me too Susan Trisha Heil,@ Bianca... there needs to be a description to include on a resume... lol :) julie,Bianca : it's call focus on one task Sheila,focus and concentration on one task at a time Greg,It's easy to get overwhelmed - slowing down stays the panic! Kymberly,"My pastor talked about slowing down the other day in church. We did it and it felt good! We kept it quiet for a while after we got home, no TV or noise. Wow! Empowering." Bianca,@Trisha Heil -- LOL! Tara,Book DEEP WORK is all about the value of focus. Tracy,Supporting 4 managers doesn't allow me much time to slow down. Slowing down then triggers overtime hours. Phyllis,"I like your take on slowing down, Tara..." Tara,"Lots of apps to help too, e.g. RescueTime" Trisha Heil,burn out is more of a threat when you go too fast Rhonda,"Recent advice from IAAP speakers and trainers is that multi-tasking really isn't possible in most cases. They recommend ""pivoting"" seamlessly from one task to another." Mary Wilson,What is the most effective strategy to set measureable goals for support position that has no metrics? Becke,Sort of did freak out when Joan slowed down..I often forget to breath! Sheila,i always feel as though I should be doing something important Barbara,Maybe a better definition is working on tasks one by one based on their respective priority Rhonda,With some things I still multi-task Karen,@ Mary Wilson - Same question here. I set goals but not many are quantifiable. Jasmine Freeman,"Great Q, Mary. I'll save it for the Q&A coming up soon." Bianca,Setting your priorities should be considered important.; that takes time and focus and slowly donw. Michelle,A make a to do list first thing in the morning. That helps me stay on track through out the day. Barbara,"Yes, it is possible to multi-task; work on one task and put it on hold when another of higher importance emerges, etc." Bianca,@Barbara -- technically that is not multi-tasking. Marlena,"I have an app the sounds a chime once an hour to remind me to STOP, BREATH and BE IN THE MOMENT! " Taylor,@Mary Wilson and @Karen - Set quarterly goals. Track when you achieve them. Jasmine Freeman,That is technically juggling as you focus on one thing at a time. Bianca,@Marlena -- love that! Will have to find that app myself. Becke,Have a new job where I am supporting the President and his focus is on changing culture. Any suggestions on how best to a support him? Wanda,I also am a fan of the To Do List Barbara,"Bianca, I know. It is technically working then pausing that work and starting another, and switching back and forth" Tara,"ADMIN COHORT approach can help with distraction management. e.g. if I work a 10 hour day, I get another 50% completed in those extra 2 hours, so why not schedule a group of admins for 4x10 hour days instead of 5x8 hours so they each have good focus time every day." Barbara,aka Juggling! Phyllis,"Michelle, I make my To-Do stack the night before so I know what I'm facing when I sit down at my desk first thing in the morning..." Trisha Heil,@ Becke... that's a whole different webinar. Marlena,It's an app called MindBell Sheila,my to do list vs others to do list ... hmm Sheila,Juggling is a good term I use often Bianca,Thanks @Marlena -- will look for it. Trisha Heil,Juggling = another good term to use on a resume! Elizabeth,I've recently started taking Laura Stack's advice and work from my task list rather than my inbox. It's easy to covert emails to tasks which helps me get things done in a timely manner and gives the satisfaction of checking something off my list. Becke,"@ Trisha, not really. We are talking about accelerating change, a culture shift is a definite change~" Flora Reeves,What is the name of the authour and book Company of Ownership? Elizabeth,Darren Martin Jasmine Freeman,"Daren Martin, A Company of Owners" Karen,"In terms of Career Management related to talking to supervisor and goals for 2017, what is best way to say you'd like extra responsibilities to increase skills, which may lead to better job opportunity at current job or elsewhere? I want to make myself more marketable." Tara,BECKE: email me re: culture! tara@mentorsandmasterminds.com Monique Thorne-Montanez,"career management, innovation and learning curve" Kelly McIntosh,would love an example of a goal Marlena,I am thoroughly confident in awhat I can accomplish and what I am capable of but I am thoroughly and completely disappointed in my organization. I sincerely feel this organization does not recognize the Administrative Assistant or the Executive Assistant. We don't even have those titles. Wendy,Thank you Joan & Jasmine - I need to sign out. Happy New Year Lisa,Elisabeth: Laura Stack is great! lisa,My boss has ADHD. How do I help her focus? Marlena,They give us different titles and use that as an excuse to pay us below what we're worth. How do I combat that? Kathy Shiver,@lisa mine too and good luck. :) Karen,Multitasking- the handling of more than one task at the same time by a single person. Kymberly,@Lisa GREAT Q.! I have one with that as well! Cindy Garner,I tell my staff I would rather have them slow down and produce a high quality product rather than rushing through. Webinar Administrator,Please submit questions by checking question box. Keep in mind that all questions cannot be answered due to the length of the webinar. Thank You! Marla,Karen let them know during your eval that you are ready for more and bring examples of what you want to do. Grace,Thanks for today! I look forward to the replay link. Ivory,Thank you for today! Gloria,In terms of being the Accelerated Assistant I have learn to de-clutter my office with people who really do not need my services. Manage what has been given to me without adding to my plate before I complete my own responsibilities. Susan,multi tasking doesn't really exist- it isn't possible. Brain does one thing at a time Teresa,"Joan, your hair looks great!!" Barbara,"Marlena, if you are unable to convince the organization of your value, there are other companies out there that would appreciate and recognize your value. I have been in that boat before and speak from experience. My new employer is amazing!" Diane,"You can only focus on one thing at a time, if you are multi-tasking you are not giving your full attention to anything." Karen,"@ Marla, thanks." Patricia Wilson,@Gloria - That was great. Exactly what I need to do! Elizabeth,Don't be afraid to offer areas you'd like to grow in - its not your boss's job to always be the one making recommendations for improvement. Cherie,"During my last round of job interviews I said I don't multi-task but I can ""task switch"" when necessary. I got the job so it made sense to my new boss" Marlena,"@Barbara, Thank you. I have been looking outside of my organization and I'm working toward a degree to give me more options but my region is so limited in employement." Nichole,I'm seeing her okay Gloria,good point @ Diane Barbara,"Wishing you the best in your search, Marlena!" Cindy ," What strategies do you have to stop the people distractions, in a nice way,? Closing a door is not an option. " Marlena,Thank you Barbara! That's so appreciated. Karen,"Jasmine, in my question, I currently work at a school. Didn't mean to say better job opportunity at A school." Barbara,"Cindy, I just apologize and say that I am so swamped but that I need to get back to work and really enjoyed the conversation. They usually understand." Michelle,Cindy - I sit in a cube so I place a sign stating I'm working on a deadline to check back with me at a certain time. Susan,Does the chat get sent with the replay? It is hard for me to listen to Joan and stay up with the chat. I see lots of good ideas but can't keep up! Barbara,"You're very welcome, Marlena :)" Monique Thorne-Montanez,whee can i find that smart goal setting for assistants Kymberly,@Tracy I support 3 and have the same thought...hard to slow down w/o OT Barbara,"Great idea, Michelle!" Karen,"@ Cindy, I work at a school and distractions are the norm. I usually ask if it can wait and explain that I have something I need to do immediately that has a deadline, which is typically the case. Most people understand." Liz,"Being laser focused means saying ""no"" to somepeople or ""not right now."" Difficult for service-centered people." Becke,"Thank you Joan, excellent advice!!" Melissa,Great webinar - need to run Marla,@Cindy I recently told someone not a manager but a peer who needed something that was not urgent to schedule some time with me another day. that seemed to work. Michelle,These are great questions and answers. Thanks everyone. Kathy Shiver,thank you! This was a great use of my time and presented well. Susan,Who is Laura Stack? Karen,"Thanks, Joan & Jasmine.

Thanks for the suggestion." Tawanika,How to handle a situation where I was acting in a position. I interviewed and did not get the position. How do I handle this situation due to having to train the new employee to do the work. Michelle,Great question Tawanika. This happened to me too. Tara,Antoinette - great question! Have been struggling with this a lot; one solution for me has been to create systems (I use OneNote) to track and prioritize incoming requests. Antoinette,Thank you Tara! Diane,"Tawanika, have you followed up to see why they did not select you. This could be a growth opportunity." Barbara,"Tawanika, do your very best in training the new employee. It will reflect well on you for consideration of future positions." Karen,"@ Tawanika, I applied for an internal position and did what Diane is suggesting. I asked HR if they got any feedback from my interview. Interview went well. They just thought I wouldn't be happy in the position, which in retrospect, ended up being true" Laura,"Tawanka, i was in a similar situation but I lost my job because my manager lost his job and the new manager brough in his own admin, so I had to train her before I left. I was very professional, taught her everything I knew and sent her documents etc. that she would need. " Julie Spoerl,"Thanks, great webinar! Jumping off for my next meeting. " Susan,"I love these webinars, I get so much information that I can use. I delay my lunch hour so I can listen to the biggest part of the webinar. It really helps getting the replays for those times I am interrupted! Thank you so much for these." Bethany,Tawanika - treat the person as you would want to be treated. This happens sometimes and the way you handle it provides a negative or positive view of you. A positive view will help you in the future. Keep your head up and know your value despite this disappointment. Always handle things positively. Laura,"Tawanika, as Diane suggested, I was rewarded by the woman I trained, talking to her husband who worked at another company and he in turn recommended me on her recomendation and I networked and got the new position."
