Calendar Management for Executive Assistants

Office Dynamics

APRIL 18, 2019

Meeting planning is a cognitive task. You must think about your manager’s workload, other commitments, travel, upcoming meetings, past meetings, previous week’s schedule. What about time for my leader to work on: projects return phone calls respond to e-mails delegate work on presentation? COGNITIVE task!

I’ve attended numerous seminars in leadership, time management, MS Word, Excel, Outlook, meeting planning, event planning, and disaster recovery planning (Joan Eisendot and her website are fantastic resources) as well as is Tyler Davidson at Meetings Focus magazine/website, and freely shared the knowledge with my peers and anyone who asked.

The meetings were stress free and I was able to depend on my checklists and templates. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I have a network of assistants that I call friends, although some are just phone colleagues, but we help each other. I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I’ve been able to plan and complete a project successfully. I will have all kinds of energy to work on a project if I know it is ending at one point. (New

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).

If it is a big project I use a calendar and write down all my required to-dos on the dates I need to get them done to make my deadline. I’m a visual person so it really helps me to plan my way to my goal. If you find some are outdated please let me know so I can remove them from this list. 411 Look Up 411.ca

The admin profession lends itself to taking on new and sometimes challenging projects. I had a big learning curve going into it and I didnt know any of the other assistants so I felt all alone with my challenges. Sometimes we just need someone to be our sounding board and an outsider to the situation can often see things more clearly.

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. And make sure you ask your employer to provide honest feedback about your work, both throughout the project and once you’re done.

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. Reactions: 5comments: Anonymoussaid. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Are you willing to take on new projects and new challenges? I can honestly say that even though it was a hard time to go through, I ended up getting a much better job and a better opportunity and can look back on it as a good learning experience. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. Be noticed.

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. Another time I wanted to try a career in the travel business.

If it is with an outside contact, a phone call apologizing for your error and being open to whatever steps you need to take to make it right will go a long way to fixing it. I am part of the project management office at my company and I hear the term roadblocks all the time. Hi Patricia: What an encouraging message this is.
