ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
  • STEPPING UP TO LEADERSHIP:
  • The Administrative Assistant's Role in Business Dynamics
  • In the administrative field, where roles are constantly changing and the successful admin takes on multiple responsibilities while being asked to make more demanding decisions, she needs to look at working smarter in three key areas:

  • 1. Taking more responsibility by looking at ways to be more proactive. This covers everything from the changing role of the administrative assistant to building self confidence, getting more respect by changing how she views her role, learning how she can help her boss by taking on more responsibility and thinking outside the proverbial box.

  • 2. Communicating more effectively, first with her supervisor/boss and then her co-workers. This means having the ability to ask questions, putting herself on her supervisor's calendar (having the confidence to do what it takes to stay informed), learning how to delegate or barter work with other departments and working more efficiently as a team. We also cover understanding your bosses' work style to more effectively partner, how to anticipate your bosses' priorities and goals and techniques to being an effective gatekeeper.
     
  • 3. Balancing multiple tasks, multiple bosses and prioritizing. Multi-tasking also requires analyzing whether tasks deal with processes, cycle time or other people (which helps to more accurately define how to cut out any wasted time). She'll also learn how to handle interruptions, why keeping a work-task log is important and how to create smarter ways to stay organized.
  • Whether in a half day or full day format, the curriculum is handled the same way. We begin by getting feedback from the attendees on what they see their biggest challenges in partnering with their boss/supervisor. We then address those challenges as we go through the three main areas of empowerment listed above. The training is broken out into group brainstorming, strategizing individually and role play, ending with the participants recreating a piece of the training, as if they had to go back and teach co-workers how to be more proactive, administrative leaders after completing the course. We use magic, accelerated learning techniques and other tools to guarantee interactive, fun learning.

 
  • This training has been taught successfully to numerous administrative professionals at Deutsche Bank in New York (last October and November), Port Authority of New York/New Jersey (last February and March), Forest Laboratories in New York and the Kellogg Foundation in Michigan in April.
