The Effective Admin Tips Series

 

22 Self-Study Guides to Use for Executive and Administrative Assistant Training

and Professional Development

 

Jam Packed With Strategies and Tips to Make You a Better Administrative Professional Now


THE EFFECTIVE ADMIN TIPS SERIES is one of the most popular sets of publications sold by The Effective Admin. This Tips Series contains publications that each focus on and cover important, practical and distinct topics tailored to the daily workplace needs and on the job skills and competencies of administrative assistants and executive assistants.

 

Recommended for this audience: The Effective Admin Tips Series topics are relevant to administrative support professionals including administrative assistants, executive assistants, secretaries and all administrative professionals of any title. Many of the publications include examples and scenarios specific to administrative assistants and executive assistants.

 

These publications are full of tips and guidance on their individual specialized topics.

 

Topics covered: problem solving | time management | professional image | office organization | goal setting | internet research | e-mail etiquette and management | meeting planning and coordination | event planning and coordination | minute taking | office ergonomics | domestic travel arrangement coordination | international travel arrangement coordination | partnering with your manager or executive and managing up | prioritizing your workload | web conferencing | audio conferencing | video conferencing | supporting multiple "bosses" | telephone skills | assertiveness

 

Format: All publications in this Tips Series are printable, downloadable files (8 1/2" x 11" paper size) in PDF file format (read with free Adobe Reader software). Number of pages varies per publication. Most of the text is 10 point with minimal graphics; therefore, they are jam packed with information (broken into "bite size" chunks as articles and tips so as not to overwhelm you either with the information).

 

Author: Karen Porter, job performance and career success coach and advisor to administrative professionals and the founder and president of The Effective Admin and the Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals. I'm the author and producer of many professional development and training products for administrative assistants and executive assistants, including being the creator and producer of The Effective Admin newsletter (distributed to administrative professionals for the past six years). I advise thousands of administrative professionals globally about their job performance and career management, providing tips and guidance.

With The Effective Admin Tips Series, you get the same information (and then some) that you'd get from an expensive multi-day seminar with sessions on these topics -- but at a fraction of the cost and at a learning pace you set.

 

There are thousands of tips in the series with the type of practical information you can immediately transfer to your job, workplace and career. Put what you learn today into action tomorrow!


"So far (I purchased the package on Friday and had a very busy weekend and did not get much time to review) I have found the materials to be fabulous!! I am pleased by the volume (was afraid that there would not be much to the 'tip sheets,' but that was NOT the case) and have already found new and exciting information in the documents … cannot wait to get home this evening and begin reading!!"  --Executive Assistant

"Karen, you have been supplying each of us in the administrative support roles since 2004 with exactly what we needed to make our success possible. Some of the things written were simple ideas and things that we already knew but refreshed what's often forgotten.

 

I appreciate the organizational tips that I hadn’t thought of that are especially useful while supporting multiple executives. Your publications have become a reference book for my top drawer! I especially enjoy the spelling and grammar refreshers that we may have forgotten since school.

 

I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and personal time given in each of your publications. Your passion to share and mentor those in our field is evident and very much appreciated. Even as I am in career transition, I will remain a TEA/VAAP member to maintain that competitive edge and continue to learn best practices.”
