Since administrative professionals are usually the ones planning events, managing catering, speakers, binders, and AV/tech, it was wonderful to celebrate their learning achievements through a great event celebrating each of them as a stellar assistant! Following a full training day, we reconvened for the Glam and Glitz Gala.

However, I can’t imagine any discipline where one would be expected to ignored the foundation that has been laid by others as part of their own learning. And sometimes that’s probably true. There is a lot of knowledge to be culled and transfered from others.

I make introductions to folks that are aligned with their goals right away and then just see if we like each other. I love social networking but have learned that a whole slew of followers is not as profitable as one fan! I post, blog and share current business ideas, projects, clients and ventures. Its the key to real branding!

Whenever I meet people for coffee or a meal, I am always interested to learn about them as a person and their work. The goal is to get INFORMATION and ADVICE which almost anyone can provide, not ask for an interview, a favor, or a job. She gave me her business card. That’s great too. I highlight important information.

Now, take a look at your business card, brochures or other social media profiles.    The other day I was in a meeting and saw a card that had the back covered with 2 different QR codes and the front had a few different urls. .    Any big lessons learned?   I bet the number is more than five.

I also have found that it pays to be more realistic when setting goals for myself. Don’t make such sweeping plans that you would have to clone yourself a dozen times in order to accomplish a goal. Most people have figured out that to survive in today’s business climate they must make themselves more valuable by learning new skills.

When I was a graduate student, I was mildly surprised to learn that a thesis statement could expand into an entire thesis. I take my best content and turn it into workshops and allow people to play with and I hope learn from the ideas. If I didn't learn the art of repurposing content, I'd be in trouble!
