What does everyone expect from you? What do you expect from yourself?
Today's competitive environment demands more from office support personnel than
ever before. Today's secretaries and administrative assistants are professionals
who need a sophisticated set of skills to meet their daily challenges. You are expected
to:
Communicate with people from every level of the organization … by phone,
e-mail, memo, or in person
Juggle multiple priorities and demands with a packed schedule and tight timing —
all while staying cool, collected, and organized
Stay on top of everything despite unforeseen changes, difficult people, conflicts,
and problems
Sound challenging? Unquestionably, it is. That's why this conference was designed
— to help you do your job better in the face of increased demands and pressure.
You won't find workshop leaders rehashing basic job functions; their goal is to
help you develop the success and survival skills that make the difference between
"just getting the job done" and being truly exceptional at what you do.
This administrative assistant training conference was designed with you in mind,
offering a unique 2-track format that lets you select from 10 power-packed sessions,
making it easy to jump from track to track, choosing the workshops that are most
relevant to you. And throughout the day, you'll have the opportunity to meet and
network with individuals who really understand what you do … because they
do it, too.

to …
Be fair and professional as they juggle multiple tasks, multiple bosses, and conflicting
responsibilities.

that gets read, acted on, and remembered!
