Office Dynamics

SEPTEMBER 5, 2018

For 28 years, I have been teaching assistants to pay attention to the fundamentals such as meeting planning, travel planning, calendar maintenance, organizational skills, follow-up systems, time management, and communications. I never take for granted the basic ‘platform’ skills I learned in the early days as a speaker.

What you’ll learn How modern companies are utilizing work management software to become digital and increase productivity.

Practically Perfect PA

APRIL 18, 2016

A place to come, learn and realise that there was at least one other PA that felt the same way you did and was facing the same every day issues you were (and some of the triumphs too!) Amy : I am currently an Executive Assistant at Skyscanner to the CTO, Director Engineering, Director of Project Management and the Director of HR.

I have taken several courses and classes. Yes, I have taken job-specific software classes, classes to learn organizational and people skills, and took computer certification classes which I was not aware I needed coming right out of high school. Currently studying a Personal Assistant Diploma.

So around this time I committed to using two tools for task and project management. I taught The NOW Year™ Method for a class that I’d been doing for some time instead of going through the usual curriculum…and it landed amazingly well with the students. I worked with Shawn Blanc to create The Awareness Building Class.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JULY 8, 2016

We also get a mini break when our boss is traveling as the stress level is generally lower and we can catch up on our workload. Through time I’ve learned that it’s best to draw healthy boundaries early, for example, when you are a new hire and have much more leeway. During the interview process ask about the company culture.
