The topic was on personal branding and they were making recommendations to executives on how to polish up their image. Actually, my office uses the all day events for the staff calendar- that way we can review the top of the calendar to determine what staff is in/out for the day. I guess he thought I needed the help. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I arrange quite a few events and have realized the importance of reading and reviewing the contracts carefully, highlighting key dates. When I reviewed the invoice I noticed there was a guest on our bill who wasnt in our party so that amount got taken off. Once the invoice arrives you should check to make sure everything is accurate.

Before I left I went over my checklists a few times to make sure I had everything and it was stress free each day as I reviewed the lists and checked off the items to bring. This meeting was held out of town and those are a bit more hectic because I cant easily go to my desk to get what I need. 411 Look Up 411.ca

The night before I go to a Board meeting, I review all my templates, agendas, binder, attendance sheets and everything I am going to need or might need. Every time I use a bus ticket, I keep a mental inventory so I know when I need to buy some more and dont show up at the bus stop one morning and Oops! no tickets. Do I have everything?

Check with your boss and if agreed, unsubscribe from any unnecessary e-mails that may be cluttering their Inbox or create subfolders and drag and drop these e-mails there for your boss to check when he or she has the time to review them.
