During my time in Geneva it certainly hadn’t escaped my notice that Geneva is an expensive city: you can’t really escape it (unless you spend all of your time hanging around the central train station). After a few hours of sightseeing I got the phone call and headed back to the hotel to check out my room.

When I travel, I take my laptop and Kindle Fire. I always synch all of my files from my main Mac computer in my home office to Dropbox so that I am sure to have all of them handy while on the road by using the app on my phone and tablet. I have a data package on my phone and tablet so I can work from anywhere regardless of Wifi.

I manage his schedule and monitor his emails, as well as help organise some of his travel, company events, and client dinners, occasional research, expenses and ad hoc tasks – all the general PA duties. I also try to have a quick catch-up with the MD either by phone or face-to-face.

The Chinese restaurant being run out of your meeting room is playing havoc with your diet. Outside business consultants can be expensive, so the powers that be brought in Miss Miller's 5th grade class to give book reports on "How to Win Friends and Influence People." You won't have to travel far for the company retreat this year.

At first the consultants picked their own hotels and put the cost through their expenses and as you can imagine their choice of hotels varied wildly and so did the price. Generally the apartments do not provide additional facilities such as a gym, restaurant or spa. My director gave me the task of reducing this spend by 20%.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

She is a lawyer, freelance writer, and dedicated traveler. That childlike wonder of experiencing a new place for the first time is what draws me to travel as much as possible, both internationally and domestically within the US.

I have a network of assistants that I call friends, although some are just phone colleagues, but we help each other. If you know what works best for you and if your job is 80/20 on what you like then you can put up with the small stuff like filing and filling out expense forms. GET TO KNOW YOUR CO-WORKERS. We are not an island.

I travel far to try and find a full-serve station, but they are becoming extinct. It was expensive,but when I brought it home I had to do all the work to get it up and running. Now, there doesnt seem to be a difference in price at all, it is just common practice that we have to do it ourselves. Recently, I bought a new laptop.

Brilliantly Better

FEBRUARY 21, 2011

Once in Christchurch I made a short phone call to the motel I previously booked, just to confirm and ask for some directions. Sometimes, if you travel in small groups, they may be even cheaper than a bus ticket. I tried a few of them, including a small Chinese eatery and a much more classy restaurant near the upright zone near Avon.

He wrote in one sentence that he had " expensive experience" instead of "extensive" and in another wrote "tits" instead of "its." He relied totally on spell check so you can imagine what typos were missed. He was a lawyer and in this particular letter he was writing to a prospective client. Good thing I checked. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I printed his e-ticket and had everything prepared for his travel. Linda (our travel agent) was obviously having a bad day. He wrote in one sentence that he had "expensive experience" instead of "extensive" and in another wrote "tits" instead of "its." I booked one of my former bosses on a flight to Toronto. 411 Look Up 411.ca

The last time I needed the phone number, I looked online. The last time I went to a restaurant, I checked online for a menu before calling to make reservations. They had many different reviews of their restaurant, but the ones that came up first were the negative ones. It’s too expensive.&# Stacy – YES!
