Dear Administrative Professional,
The Effective Admin
newsletter is NOT just for any admin. It's strictly for administrative
professionals who want to achieve
career success,
top job performance and
ongoing personal satisfaction
in their admin careers. It's produced by me: Karen Porter, The Administrative
Professional Job Performance and Career Success Coach and
founder and president of The Effective Admin. Prior to founding
The Effective Admin, I worked as an administrative professional
and in higher level positions in both the
corporate, higher education and nonprofit sectors.
My goals with this electronic
newsletter are:
-
to assist
you with your
day-to-day duties and performance
on the job as well as
your overall admin career.
-
to help you stay
motivated on the
job and in your career.
-
to help you learn
ways to do your job better
or faster.
In the newsletter, you learn
everything from how
to better manage your work relationships
to how to best
organize your work day.
You even learn what
other administrative professionals
are thinking and doing on the job when I publish their responses to
short survey questions now and then.
The Effective Admin
newsletter offers advice, tips and news for
today's
administrative professional. It is your professional trade
publication serving the admin profession.

"I finally found time this
morning to wrap up some training I've been doing and to read the
latest edition of The Effective Admin Newsletter. This is the
first newsletter I have received and I was VERY impressed with
both the content and the layout. What was more impressing was how
after reading this I could immediately put several items to use.
Thank you so much for creating and publishing such a great
newsletter!"
Michele Ritchie
Executive Administrative Assistant

More Specifics About What's in the Issue Content
Just to give you an example of the type of content in general in these
issues, some stories from past newsletter issues (which are still available when you
purchase the An Effective Admin VIP package)
included
this advice and information tailored to meet the needs of administrative
professionals:
...two ways you might be
letting others impact your workplace productivity and work day satisfaction
(and you probably don't even realize you're doing this but it's very
common).
...three things at work that might be causing your neck and shoulder to
ache (and doing this can make you ache even long after you've left for the
day, yet you might not associate the aches with work).
...what's the employment outlook for secretaries and administrative
assistants in the U.S. (Is hiring up or down? Will there be more competition
for your job?).
...what to do when your manager or executive tells you to go to a meeting
in his or her place. (How to do it right to impress your manager and not
make a fool of yourself in a meeting with his or her peers).
...the right way to make business introductions (Whom do you introduce
first and exactly what you should say and where you should stand while doing
this--you should actually stand somewhere quite specific).
...a tip to write better correspondence, reports or any document that also
reduces your word count (always a necessity when you have limited space to
make your point such as in a one-page letter, nomination form, brochure
copy, etc.).
...what one expert says about crying at work (Will it hurt your
professional image or is crying actually okay in the workplace these days?)
...the importance of managing
and not crossing confidential boundaries (including 4 expert techniques for
administrative professionals to maintain confidences and not answer "tough"
questions).
...ways to communicate deadlines to colleagues (and learn why your
colleagues may be ignoring your deadlines and requests in the first place
and how to fix this).
...two tips for better e-mail communication (including when you should
reach for the telephone instead).
...what colors of clothing are always appropriate to wear to work in
an office setting so you stand out as a professional. (or blend in --
whichever way you prefer to see it).
...the right way to use exclamation marks in your writing. (So many people
abuse this piece of punctuation -- don't be one of them.)
...a tip about how to organize your email inbox messages with color. (This
is quite useful in managing your email overload these days -- the steps are
included.)
...five tips to use when talking to difficult people during difficult
times -- without escalating the situation. (You can talk to those hard to
get along with or hard to understand co-workers and customers much easier
with this method.)
...and much more, including some tips from your own administrative
professional colleagues.
Though your non-admin colleagues may find the
newsletter interesting too, all articles are focused on the needs and
daily performance of administrative professionals. |
