Audio conference

Whether you'd like to move into management, or simply master the skills of management to be a better admin, this session is for you. So much of the work of a department or team depends on all the pieces falling into place at the right time and as smoothly as possible, and admins are the ones who make that happen. Juggling multiple priorities, gaining the co-operation of others, managing your own and other people's schedules, calming the waters of departmental panic—and much more. If you're a 21st Century Admin, you take all this in your stride.

Your relationship with your boss largely determines how successful and happy you will be in your career. Have you ever felt like there’s no way to please your boss? Is your boss disorganized? Do you feel micromanaged, or ignored? Do you feel like you could be happier and more successful if you had a better boss? You can lead your boss into a better work relationship.

Managing stress at work and in life can be tough! There are heavy workloads, deadlines, personal problems, money troubles, health issues, relationship woes and concerns about the people we love. Added to that are worries about the economy, national security threats and natural disasters. No wonder we're stressed! Fortunately, help is on the way! We can prevent much stress and strategically manage the rest—and in the process, we can keep our productivity up and maintain a positive attitude.

Surfing the Web at work is wasting time, right? Not if you surf the sites James Spellos recommends. In fact, the time you spend on the Web sites he recommends, can simultaneously increase your work capacity and get you out of the office earlier!

Spellos has made a science of teaching administrative professionals how to use the Internet to make themselves more productive, better-informed, better-connected, more valuable resources to their employers.

Here's What You'll Learn:

How many times have you found yourself saying, "If I could just have one hour to myself" or, "there are not enough hours in a day"?

Many professionals struggle with time management but in a competitive work world where time is money, every minute counts and wasting time is just not good business.

So how can you squeeze every last second out of a busy stressful day and be more productive? How can you find a few extra minutes to take care of yourself, to reduce stress, and to focus on the things that are really important?

Career success rarely happens by accident. You need to place yourself in the position to get lucky, not wait around hoping for luck. That means drafting a career plan, initiating steps to advance along the pathway you've created and learning to identify and pounce on opportunistic detours.

A mentor can help you make sound decisions along the way. Sometimes, however, you'll need to mentor yourself. And that's when you must diagnose situations clearly and respond decisively to propel your career forward.

Have you sent a search party to find your desk? A messy desk is funny, and yet it isn’t: Statistically a cluttered desk will cost 20% of your efficiency. That is 400 hours per year, or one day per week in lost time due to clutter!

And yet, an empty desk is neither realistic nor optimal.

You are invited to join us for a 60-minute audio conference with a light-hearted approach to winning the battle against clutter and keeping your desk organized, efficient and a pleasure to work at instead of a shame to behold.

There's nothing more frustrating: You know what needs to be done, you know how to get it done, but you don't have the authority you need to make it happen.

The solution? It's not a promotion or a new title.

It's about how you act in relation to authority, how you ask for the resources and autonomy you need and the credibility you bring into the office every day that makes the difference between helplessly watching your work stack up around you, and getting it done.

So much of our workplace success depends on the co-operation of others. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you had the power to have everyone simply do what you want them to do without constant pushback and resistance?

Helen Wilkie's presentation, "How to Get People to do What You Want without Bribery, Blackmail or a Magic Wand!" will give you the psychological tools to do just that.
