As a speaker you have a number of things to juggle -- proposals, marketing collateral, networking conversations, presentation material, contracts, travel, etc.  Have one page on your website you can reference that has everything an event coordinator might need from you.  Make it about more than your presentation.

If you want to find a new job, first set the goal of updating your resume. So many of us decide in February that since we haven’t accomplished the goal set on January 1, it is hopeless, be consistent and persistent and refer back to your goals often. Need a speaker/presenter? Do you need to review interview techniques?

Some people in the office were trying to get the remote working as we had a PowerPoint presentation coming up and were calling it things like remote thingy , remote slide clicker, wireless mouse so I finally asked, "Does anyone know what the official name for that thing is?" It's called a Presentation Remote. Thanks Patty.

I was in a workshop today on presentation skills and one of the things they had us do was present something to the group while they filmed us. Other than the extra work I need to do at the gym to tone up and trim down, I saw some good qualities as well and it was helpful to see myself present. Thanks Anonymous for sharing.

Beside being a junior level EA and having multiple administrative support jobs in the past, I am not sure how I can present myself as a capable and competent EA. I wasn’t there to say hello, get in “good” with the higher ups, network, or gawk at any famous people that might have been there. Do you have any suggestions/advice for me?

I dont mind being referred to as someones assistant. My current boss always refers to me as his colleague, both to those within our company and to external contacts when referring them to me. I tend to use the term boss when I refer to my employer. My all-time favourite however is colleague. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Networking within your own company is a great way to keep your current job or secure a future one. If you do have to leave, dont forget to ask for a reference letter. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. A good reference can go a long way towards getting your next job. Be thankful.

If you are the presenter you have to study and know your subject well which helps you to be more confident in what you know and you also gain experience in making presentations which can help you in your career. The web also has anonymity and sometimes people receive information better from people they dont know. 411 Look Up 411.ca

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. When you leave a job, you dont have to leave your network behind. Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource.

How you present yourself and what you wear to the office can help how you feel about what you are doing. Of course you have to be prepared and know your stuff, but knowing you look good when you walk in the door will do wonders on how you present yourself. Sometimes it is all in how you feel isnt it? What about your work space?
