A bit about me and why I am so passionate about helping Assistants!
I have made mistakes in my career. I was once the queen of typos! (that actually still follows me once in a while...oops!!) I have made some doozy mistakes (haven't we all!!) I have had managers that didn't support me, which made it hard for me to support them. But over the years I self-studied, observed, and learned to be an assistant that is trusted and a true partner to my boss. I know what it is like to have that manager who you just can't get through to and I know what it is like to have a manager who thinks and treats you as a partner. (The latter is SO much better!)
I have been an assistant since the mid 1980's (I am dating myself...I started when we still used typewriters!) I had tiles from Staff Assistant to Executive Assistant and worked for department heads to CEOs. Back in 1999 I had just started this new job and noticed my predecessor had many of the same websites bookmarked as I did. It was then realized there was a need for resources and training for administrative professionals so I created AdminProf.com. AdminProf.com was the first online website with networking, resources, information, and training for assistants. In 2004 AdminProf.com merged with the UK?s DeskDemon for a worldwide reach. At DeskDemon I started and still produce two awesome magazines, AdminAdvantage for US assistants, and PA Enterprise for UK PAs. I found that I have a true passion for helping and bringing resources and information to my peers. (I can work late into the night and still love what I do!) For many years from 9-5, I was an Executive Assistant, then the nights were dedicated to DeskDemon.
I have moved on to our newest DeskDemon adventure in supporting the administrative community! My passion is helping others. Success and job happiness are so essential. I am taking my knowledge and successes and creating a training course that includes personalized one on one coaching. It will be an ever-evolving course, as there is always something to learn and new ways to perform at our best! There is only one objective that is important to me, that you come out with new or better skills that make a difference in your career.
I invite you to a free discussion session to talk about your needs and see if this is a fit.
