Well 2012 is over and done with and we are now already two days into 2013. In honour of it now being 2013 I´ve got 13 things I think we can expect to see in the year ahead. With the assistant role now encompassing so many varied tasks we should expect to see a rise in training for assistants in 2013. Social Media.

Over the last few years there are plenty more online communities and in more recent times we have taken networking to a whole new level with local networks, organised by assistants, springing up all over the place. First up we have the Edinburgh PA Network. The PAs behind the Network. It is brilliant!

Where once this embodiment of a busy young woman managing her empire, sharing her time-poor lifestyle over social media, now we have TikTok to thank for the rise of ‘lazy girl jobs’. Other issues where management and younger staff clash is the importance of empathy and the impact of work on mental health.

I was interviewed by the lovely Elena Aylott from EMEA East about my blog and social media in general. You are active in social media; does it help you in your professional life?

While brainstorming ideas for my last two articles of this year, I knew I wanted to share something with you that would lead you into 2013 with renewed energy and motivation. VH1 and MTV do countdowns of the top songs of the year; the TV networks run holiday marathons of their best shows; even David Letterman does a top ten list!
