NOVEMBER 20, 2018

In 2007, I started this blog and wrote articles on various subjects that would be of interest to an administrative assistant. Under the CEO's tutelage and with what my friend had taught me, I organized the next Board of Directors' meeting and all its Committees. I particularly like senior executive meetings. So how did I get into it?

I love Julie Perrin’s blog on business acumen for administrative professionals because it really goes into detail on what assistants should be reading and how to actually create the time to read. This is well worth the read, once you’ve finished reading my blog obviously! This brings me to a really important point!
