Practically Perfect PA

APRIL 18, 2016

A place to come, learn and realise that there was at least one other PA that felt the same way you did and was facing the same every day issues you were (and some of the triumphs too!) Over the last few years there are plenty more online communities and in more recent times we have taken networking to a whole new level with local networks, organised by assistants, springing up all over the place. First up we have the Edinburgh PA Network. The PAs behind the Network.

We had an incredible webinar event with over 1,300 assistants registered to learn more about why, as an administrative professional, they should consider a career certification. Is it possible to get a list of attendee email addresses to network after the webinar? Here is an example of a worksheet Office Dynamics put together outlining the topics we are covering at our 22 nd Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence as a tool assistants can use to give to their executive.

Learn simplification techniques from each other. Sharing expertise, mentoring and offering to cover for your colleague during their vacation or for a medical emergency, are all great contributors to peer synergy. Sometimes, it is just learning the basics about peers. I learned a great shortcut in Outlook. Coming together is better than fighting for your own agenda.

But having fewer emails landing in your inbox will really make a difference to your inbox overwhelm and will allow you to focus only on those mentors/teachers that serve you best.

Social networking helps, but some people just need to be around other people.” If you're starting a new line of work, or you're just starting your career, telecommuting will limit your ability to find a mentor, learn on-the-job, and develop relationships with your co-workers. It helps if you're an entrepreneurial person who feels comfortable taking ownership of your work; otherwise this is not something easily learned. Right tools.
