I’ve spoken with several assistants that have voiced frustration at the standard process. The process should actually be an exciting time to discuss progress and development goals that will help you maintain or create the position you want to excel in!

On Wednesday, April 26 I hosted a Facebook Live where I spoke about what I love about the administrative profession and gave tips on how to shine in the profession. I started administrative training in a few of the companies where I worked. There was a lack of quality, meaty training for assistants. I saw a gap. Self-management.

FEBRUARY 24, 2012

Within my first week I was being asked and expected to assist the team with various admin tasks using systems that I had never used or had training on. Even though my team members didn’t know the processes, I searched out other PAs in the overall department, and invited them to a ‘get to know each other’ lunch.

I’m not sure if you know that 80% of my work is onsite training for administrative office professionals so I do a lot of traveling, in fact, 100% of my clients are out of state.

In fact, it is quite probable given the right tools, tips, processes and core philosophies. Executives don’t realize that by not making time for their assistant and letting the assistant be the funnel through which everything flows…they are hurting themselves and the assistant’s ability to be the best assistant possible.

Listen with empathy not sympathy and be assertive in your response. Also, this is the perfect time to ask for some professional development training in the areas your supervisor has highlighted you may need improvement.

To help make the process easier, consider starting slow with a meeting one morning a week. You’ll also need to let your executive know what types of topics you would cover in your Daily Huddle.

Train yourself to become better at killing tasks. I’m glad the new book is going to have a comprehensive overview of both the process and the app. I use the word “timeline&# instead and it makes the whole process so much more enjoyable.
