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 ).

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change.

Guest blogger Kathy Tosoian shares a blog about SMART goals. How many times have we heard someone say, "I need to lose weight," or "I'm going to start college this year," or "I want to be promoted to Office Manager sometime soon"?

The whole concept of a virtual assistant is that clients are hiring someone who is technology savvy.
