Admin of the month

Administrative Professional of the Month - Sept 2010

Frank Parsons, International Planning & Research Corp

It’s not enough to know what to do; you must know why you’re performing a task a certain way so that you can efficiently and knowledgably support those you work for. You need to understand the laws, rules, regulations, and policies that govern your responsibilities. Individuals in the administrative field also need to understand that their work has real impact on people’s lives, even if it’s not obvious on the surface.

Time Management Tools to Calm the Storm of Your Work Day

Dawn Brackett, President, Dynamotive, Inc.

Tick tock, tick tock...Does the mere thought of that sound make your heart beat faster? Do you constantly feel that you are not getting enough done at work? Do you feel guilty if you go out to lunch at all? If so, this webinar is for you. Start using your inner compass to examine the difference between real goals and ideal goals--and know when to use each. We'll talk about why the key to more effective time management is not another planner, to do list, or computer application. You'll find that you can say "no" and still be a team player, and you'll leave with ideas for using the stress of the work day to your advantage while alleviating the pressure and anxiety.
