Many times in my live workshops and seminars for executive and administrative assistants, I ask the participant to create a list of qualities, attributes, and attitudes of star-performing assistants.

This is a vital topic I cover in my Star Achievement Series® , World Class Assistant™ Certificate program , and one-on-one coaching.

I have been in the training and professional speaking business for almost 20 years. Most of my work is conducting on-site workshops and seminars for a specific organization's administrative professionals' staff. One of the newer executive assistants showed up late for the class. So she was right in front of me.

Recently, I was conducting a full-day workshop for administrative professionals at a large organization.

I often see this in my training classes. The group came up with over 400 ideas which later became the now Amazon-best-seller, Who Took My Pen. Don’t settle for “top of the mind” thinking. I assign various activities throughout the day and there may be one group who is always done first.

Listen with empathy not sympathy and be assertive in your response. I would highly suggest that both new and more "seasoned" administrative professionals print this out and keep it close by. Let them have their words. Do not interrupt. When they are finished, ask questions to clarify their feelings. Seek answers.

You may have to agree to disagree, but at least you will have expressed your thoughts in a professional manner and you will still have a job. Be assertive, state your case, and give and ask for solutions. It is important to listen to the other persons views and take them into consideration. Truth Hurts. How will you deal with it?
