I started administrative training in a few of the companies where I worked. I started Office Dynamics in 1990, when there was no one company specializing in in-depth training for administrative professionals.

If someone is doing something or saying something that is unacceptable to you, then you need to speak up in a professional and assertive manner. Thousands of employees tell me they can’t attend training because their company won’t pay for it. It is really important to set healthy boundaries in the workplace. Thirst for knowledge.

Use assertive communication techniques. Having an “attitude of taking charge” is not necessarily the same as the “skill of taking charge.” It starts with having the attitude, then developing certain skills. You want to develop the skill to take charge in a way that you will get cooperation. 10 Take Charge.

For example, consider what it would be like if an ambitious person were employed by a company that didn’t offer any opportunities for training or advancement, or if on the opposite end, someone who wanted to rigidly stick with the status quo was employed by a company looking for growth and ambition.

I decided to leave my previous employee in June 2010 but was job hunting for 6 months and when I did get the role I am in currently I had to complete a detailed application form, attend three interviews and sit two psychometric tests (for language and numerical skills). You should refer back to your core PA/ EA skills for this one.

Within my first week I was being asked and expected to assist the team with various admin tasks using systems that I had never used or had training on. So much of what we do is automatic, like riding a bike, so using my PA skill set really helped me in those initial months. Be assertive about what you need and what you can offer.
