What sort of executive assistant do you need (or want to be)? One of the FAQs in the executive assistant market is, what’s the difference between an executive assistant and a senior executive assistant? Are they just titles, or do essential responsibilities differ, as well? Before delving into the differences, it’s important to note that there isn’t one “right” distinction between the two titles.

Throughout the course of my work as a career coach and professional development trainer, I’ve helped hundreds (if not thousands) of people to create their own PDP (or professional development plan). If you’re not already familiar, you can learn more about what a PDP is here. I am a big believer in taking ownership of your career. That’s why I recommend that everyone create their own PDP, even if your manager or employer has created one for you.

Whether you’ve been leading a remote workforce for decades, recently ventured into this space, are dabbling with hybrid models or are fully returning your staff to in-house status, one thing is certain: The concept of the “workplace” has changed forever. The pandemic effectively recast it, and the hard, sacred work of nurturing company culture has gotten even more dynamic in the process.

Do your employees feel valued at work, or do they think they can easily be replaced? It may be easy to assume you can simply replace an employee with the next application to come through the door. But, in reality, continually hiring new employees due to a revolving door negatively impacts the company. Valued employees are more likely to stay long-term and remain loyal to the organization, thereby permitting management to spend less time and resources hiring and training new staff and more time f

Certain regulatory classifications dictate which investors can pursue investment opportunities that aren’t registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. “Qualified purchaser’ is one of the most common ones. Such an investor can, say, invest in shares issued by startups and privately held companies. While such investments carry a certain amount of risk, as do all investments, they can also reap significant rewards.

Recruiters are professional matchmakers too! The only difference is that they focus on building professional relationships more than personal ones. It doesn’t matter if it’s for the short-term or the long-term; they do it just the same. The process is pretty straightforward, just like Cupid's role in matchmaking. You first get in touch with great clients who require new employees and source potential candidates for them.

It’s football playoff time and when the Baltimore Ravens were upset by the Tennessee Titans last week, it got me thinking about how football compares to the recruiting world. The Ravens entered the game as 10-point favourites with home-field advantage so how is it that they lost to the Titans? Easy, the Ravens were too good. When you are used to dominating, you can end up taking it for granted, and it becomes almost expected.

When I think of narcissism, I think of those people whose egos are so outsized that they never believe they make a mistake or that they are wrong. I think of selfishness, a sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy. This self-centeredness can pop up in the workplace -- I'll bet you can think of a boss or colleague who fits the mold.

A candidate's experience from the moment they apply for a position all the way to when they accept or decline an offer is essential for acquiring and retaining talent. A positive candidate experience influences how well a company attracts and retains employees by improving job satisfaction, morale, and employee retention rates. In contrast, a negative candidate experience decreases engagement and leads to lower productivity.
