Practically Perfect PA

The aim is to inspire those around you and breed a calm confidence. Put your hand up to help where you can. Just because you are the team’s PA, doesn’t mean you can’t write a policy statement, or organise induction for graduates or get involved with new things. And people confide in PAs, don’t they?? Mind your business.

Many of my mentors have told me I should treat people at work as just that: people at work and at an arm’s length. That means they’ll show up when they say they will, deliver what they promise, and be there when you need their help the most. I certainly did the first time someone told me this. So, you’re right!

By the time you lift your head up, you might be mightily surprised to realize you need to check your speed or make a sharp turn – and you aren’t ready. That’s a good way to build confident success so that you’re always ready for what’s coming at you – before you get there. The result? Never look back.

After my first child was born, I couldn’t manage to keep my relationship with his mother going on and had to split up. After that, I courageously entered a hasty marriage, only to end it up in a few years, with the same bitter taste in my mouth. We grow up by identifying each stage of our failures and moving on.

Give your manager reasonable estimates of what your team can achieve and keep him or her informed of major issues or delays which come up. A good people leader is always willing to mentor and assist their team members. Set boundaries. Set limits and communicate them to your team. Don’t work alone. Take a break. Get support.

Once you fess up to that unspoken goal, everything changes. There are proven ways to get there, and if you’re just making it up as you go along – both in terms of novel and parenting – you probably won’t succeed well. It’s an opinion, but dare I say, Grisham isn’t quite up to brilliant. And take Dan Brown.

Your reference group is made up of the people with whom you habitually associate and identify. Even if they attend organization meetings, they often end up associating with people who are neither particularly ambitious or well-connected. You want to meet people you can look up to with pride.

Our parents, our mentors, our employers talked with us. We need to listen to one another and see if those new ideas have merit, or if they open up any other possible courses of action. It’s up to us to stop allowing others to make decisions for our industry, our careers, and our lives, both as a group and as individuals.

The term “apprentice” might conjure up images of blacksmiths training young teens in the “olden days,” or maybe former President Donald Trump on the 2004 premiere of the show by the same name.
