  Pursue training

Investigate your company's offerings. Just be sure to research professional development opportunities carefully so you can select the most effective ones. You want to be able to make a persuasive case to your boss as to how a particular training program will improve your administrative skills, on-the-job performance and contributions to the firm.


Take on new challenges

If you feel stagnant in your present role, ask your manager about ways you can assume more difficult assignments. Most supervisors will welcome interest from staff in adding greater value to the team. Showing motivation and ambition also may help you stand out as a candidate for promotion.

Choose a mentor

Find someone whose strengths are in the area you wish to improve and ask if he or she will assist you. If your employer doesn't have an in-house mentoring program, look for individuals inside or outside the organization whose administrative skills you admire.

Help a nonprofit

If you can't do more at your employer, consider possibilities outside the office, such as through charitable organizations. These groups may be receptive to your interest in supporting them, and you might find mentors who can help you expand your abilities and knowledge. By volunteering on committees or for leadership roles, you can develop administrative skills that not only benefit the organization but also are applicable to your paid job.

Join associations

Become active in professional organizations (Trade Unions). Participate in committees, attend seminars and other educational events, and talk with your fellow administrative professionals at meetings.

Volunteer for diverse projects

Pay attention when you're in meetings and people seek assistance with an initiative. This may be your opportunity to expand your skill set by getting involved in other areas of the department or company. Also take note if your boss or colleagues seem overloaded with projects and you can help.

WINNING PEOPLE OVER

Image
We all have a few things in common: we want to be liked, loved and happy. Some people make us feel special, others make us feel significant, while others can make us discouraged, small and unimportant. The saying goes, “how you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you” reigns true. When you lack ability to make people feel good about themselves it does nothing more than showcase your own raggedness for the world to see.  As leaders who believe that people matter, we must become masters at making people feel great – to build and maintain lasting relationships, to consistently influence (in a good way) the people around us, to always make people feel better about themselves, and to become the kind of people everyone wants to be around.    Some tips on making people feel great about themselves include:

EFFECTIVE FOLLOW UP

I understand the fear. No one wants to be annoying or bothersome to a professional contact, especially when you want a job, meeting, sales, sponsorship or something else very important from that person. If you don’t get a response right away, it doesn’t mean that person’s arrogantly ignoring you—it just may mean that he or she is too busy.  So, to the question: Should you follow up? Absolutely. In fact, it’s your job. And how often should you do so?  As many times as it takes. The important thing is to do it the right way. Here are a few tips to aid you with effective follow up :
