The Persistent Assistant

JULY 7, 2020

It is a week since we held the OPSA National Administrative Excellence Award – online! The Awards which are held annually in April during International Administrative Professionals week at the Birchwood Hotel include a wonderful buffet breakfast and all the glitz and glamour. Most of all, we had achieved it as a team.

In the past year, we’ve expanded our global community of administrative professionals exponentially and offered more free content than ever before. Plus, in honor of the holiday season, she’ll have some special gifts to share for lucky attendees! For this final session of the year, we’re sending 2015 off with a bang!

Whether it’s for the holidays, for Administrative Professionals Day, as a thank you, or just because, there are great gift options for every budget. This is one of those gift options that can be fun as a group - for example if everyone in your team got a couple of classes at a local ceramics studio for the holidays.

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. When you leave a job, you dont have to leave your network behind. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday.

I have a network of assistants that I call friends, although some are just phone colleagues, but we help each other. WORK/LIFE BALANCE We do spend more time at work than at home, but we should try to keep a balance and when we go home, we should be in home mode and when we take holidays, stay away from work (remotely or physically).

For instance, waiting for a meeting participant to choose a date, waiting for someone to order something that I need to do my job, waiting for someone to call me back, waiting for someone to get back from holidays and then to top it off they don’t put their out-of-office assistant on so you have no idea why they havent gotten back to you.
