MBO Partners released their 2019 State of Independence study this week. This is the 9th year of this ongoing study, which provides an in-depth look at American's independent workers (freelancers, independent contractors, self-employed, etc.). Emergent Research works with MBO Partners on this study. The study covers a lot of ground, but we think one of the key findings is how independent workers view the security associated with independent work.

Last week Office Dynamics International turned 29! I can’t believe my company is 29 years old. It has not been an easy journey, especially since I started a niche business of specialized training for administrative professionals of every title, age, and experience level. 29 years ago, there was no robust training for assistants. I am very blessed to be doing work I love with people I care about.

A recent CNN article asked “ How hackable is your password ?” And while you might think it was a no brainer, people actually still use “123456” and “abc123”. That’s like leaving your front door wide open and then being surprised when someone walks in and robs the place. However it’s not just these incredibly bad passwords that pose a security risk.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation. In finance, where precision and process rule, navigating change can feel especially disruptive.

Being an executive assistant means being the glue that holds all the pieces together. Perceptions are that we often have free time on our hands, but we know better. Whether a part of an executive team, an admin team or on our lonesome, we are capable to assess what’s required of us and make it happen!

People think a job begins when one enters into a company. But in reality, the first step inside a school is the first day of a 24*7 job. They think only a manager does multiple roles. No, a student does it all without any salary, and sometimes with paying up late fees. It’s called a semester but in the fourth month, the exam knocks the door. Assignment, internship, test and practical report are the constant reminder of “Don’t waste time on breathing and work.”.

VoIP or voice over IP technology has been around for a while and is being used by businesses big and small. VoIP uses broadband internet to transfer voice data in the form of digital packets. While it can be used to reduce your overall costs on calls, this is not the only reason why VoIP can be such a powerful tool. The fact that it digitizes conversations makes them much easier to search, classify, mined for data, distribute, and store.
