Another time I wanted to try a career in the travel business. I am sure I could have done well as I have learned nearly everything there is to know about getting someone from point A to point B. I helped my husband occasionally with his Event Management Projects and when it came to graphics I always took his help, I still do.

But there are some people who don’t need a full-time assistant; they need such services only when they’re on a certain project or burdened with too many short-term responsibilities.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

Other than the reality check of the above three items, it was a great way to see how I project myself and how other people see me. I find we are often very critical of ourselves and it often impacts how we behave or project ourselves. EST Taking Effective Meeting Minutes Join me for a Webinar Oct. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

It is actually the same bring-forward system that I learned in high school, back in the 1970s, but in all my career had never needed to use until now. I put it in the order of when he will need it and flag anything that he will require for teleconferences, meetings and travel. I do this for each day of the week.
