Tips For Admins

Administrative professionals around the country have great ideas.

As they manage up, down and every conceivable direction they share their insights and wisdoms on more effective and efficient ways to partner with bosses and achieve results.

Here on the “Tips for Admins” blog I’ll be talking about what I’ve learned over the years from hundreds of administrative professionals. I’ll also be sharing lots of practical information from both research and plain old hands-on experience.

Did I mention I started my career years ago as a secretary, at a time when there were no computers (yes, I’ve been around that long), just electric typewriters with annoying Correcto tape that seemed to shed all over dark clothing if you tried to correct a typo.

I was called “girl,” I went out for coffee and the world kept evolving. Today you can choose to go out for coffee if you want (or have someone bring it back to you) and you can decide who calls you what. And typewriters? You find them in a few museums here and there. Times have changed, and so has the role of the administrative professional.

What you will read here will help you manage more effectively, juggle multiple tasks more efficiently, create more time, have less stress and smile a little more at the end of each day.

I’d also love to hear your feedback on what you’ll read here. You’ll have the opportunity to comment by clicking the “Comment” link at the bottom of each post.
