Especially in video conferences which are likely to be the only times people interact with colleagues when working remotely. They are signing up to do more tasks, showing up to more events, and thus showing a desire to not only go above and beyond in their work but also in adding value to company culture.

So much so, that they are flying me out to NJ for the really big sales conference! I suggested it to the person organizing the event so I could help out and work it, but also to meet the direct reports of my CEO and the rest of the team at the headquarter office there. I’m going to keep reading your blog regularly.

If someone puts in a "birthday" or a "pick up the dry cleaning" reminder in their calendar as an all-day event, to those who are using the Scheduler, it will look like the person is busy for the day and in reality they may have the day open. We also have a staff calendar at work and use the all day events the same way.

I arrange quite a few events and have realized the importance of reading and reviewing the contracts carefully, highlighting key dates. I had an event for November 7th and the contract was signed, sealed and delivered, but then I noticed the hotel had put the wrong date on the contract. What are the dates you can cancel by?

I have seen some contracts for event planners and it seems like a lucrative career to get into. I love the planning, organizing and running around that goes into bringing a conference from a thought to a successful event. Now I am glad I stayed in this career because I can do all these things. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. If you meet someone at an Administrative Assistant conference, for example, make sure to follow up with that contact within a week or two after the event. If you discussed a need at the conference, be sure to address it.

I am speaking this morning at an administrative event so looking forward to meeting some new assistants. The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.
