We created a budget proposal for our human resources department, which was eventually approved, allowing us an annual budget to provide lunches to the attendees of the quarterly meetings. The budget also provides money to underwrite a portion of the annual conference. I looked around the room and no hands went up.

I wasn’t disappointed! Great news for assistants back in the UK wondering how they organise a meeting room in a city they don’t know with 1 hours notice! After a wonderful night out in DC I had an equally wonderful night sleep (the bed was really comfortable, it wasn’t the 3 cocktails I’d consumed at dinner.)

My 2014 was chaos. 2014 plus the rest of life’s traumas has made me a great coachee, but also a formidable coach. And yes, as in every industry, there are the charlatans and incompetents, too. The best place to understand coaching is to start with a question, “Who is coaching for?”. Who can benefit from coaching? It’s simply not true.

Don’t be too concerned when you arrive at the hotel it is actually part of an apartment block (this is quite typical in Barcelona, you never know what lurks behind a building’s facade.) The hotel isn’t big but it is perfectly formed. No, I wouldn’t say they were basic at all.

You would think a place this hip would be a little intimidating but it isn’t at all. The hotel doesn’t compromise comfort for cool, which is important. The great food and drink doesn’t stop with The Berkshire Room. Whatever the budget guests pretty much have the same experience which I think is great.

I must say this little list doesn’t quite give you an idea of the room’s luxury. If it wasn’t for the fact I had not been to Washington DC before and therefore had to do some sightseeing I would have stayed in the bed, possibly forever. Advertised minimum rate per night $319 (January 2014). .

We had decided that they best way to get to all of our appointments was by cab so you can imagine my dismay when I couldn’t for the life of me hail a cab. Not to mention that my boss didn’t like the tube so you can imagine how he felt about bicycles. The code expires 31/12/2014, so get hailing! HAIL YOUR CAB.

You don’t hear those horror stories anymore about people being sacked because of something they wrote on Facebook. LinkedIn can and should be used as a resource for training, particularly for assistants who are not included in their organisation’s training budget. Be fun but be professional when using Social Media.

But there''s one I''ve been having every single week that I just won''t skip: the one i have with my wife. Discussing our finances at a scheduled time every week keeps us far more aligned with our budget and has warded off arguments that money can cause. I''m not fond of meetings. Discuss finances.
