Dear ReadersPenny Cottee Secretarial newsletter editor
I'm delighted to welcome you to my second issue of ON!, which this month aims to give you a gentle prod! As we approach the festive break, it's time to start thinking about next year and the opportunities it holds for you. It's your chance to take a step back and think about how to realise those ambitions and plans you've been harbouring.
FEATURES
Secretarial life balance coachingThe end of the year is a great time to take a step back, and assess the balance between the many areas in your life - career, family, leisure and relationships. During your festive break, why not take a moment to evaluate your priorities, and build an exciting plan for the coming year. With these five easy steps from life coach Dr Andrée Bates, you'll find making positive changes is not as tough as you think...
Time to give?
Women achieves successful career with voluntary workYou'd love to spend a little time helping others, but work takes all your available hours and energy. Sound familiar? Well, think again! It is possible to combine a successful career with voluntary work. Sonia Wilson explains how you can put something back without giving up the day job, and even reap some benefit into the bargain
Make your stand!
A confidant happy secretaryYou'd like to make some changes in your worklife, but every time you try to broach the subject with your manager, your mouth goes dry, your knees turn to jelly, and your voice turns into a squeak. Time to brush up your assertiveness skills, says Penny Cottee
A question of balance
Work Life Balance options for a secretarySpending all your time at work, dashing home via the supermarket to look after the family, and collapsing on the settee in front of the television... there has to be more to life than this. Elizabeth Baker takes a look at the work-life balance debate, and identifies the flexible options open to you.
Could YOU be a flexible worker?
Freelance PA, Virtual Assistant working from homeYou might dream about saying goodbye to the daily commute and working from home, but what's it really like?
