Dear Administrative Professional,

The award winning The Effective Admin newsletter is for administrative assistants, executive assistants, and all administrative professionals who want to achieve career success, top job performance and ongoing personal satisfaction in their administrative professional careers. If that is you, read onward...

This newsletter will...

  • assist you with your day-to-day duties, skills, and performance on the job as well as your overall admin career.
     

  • help you stay motivated on the job and in your career.
     

  • help you learn ways to do your job better.

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 dilemmas requesting assistance from the Admin Pro Coach (answered in the newsletter) or their responses to short survey questions now and then.

 

The Effective Admin newsletter offers advice, tips and news for today's administrative professional.

 

Here's what a few of your admin pro colleagues think about the newsletter:

 

Executive administrative assistant Michele Ritchie says:

"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!"

Danielle J. Turner, an executive assistant in Suwannee, Georgia, states:

"I really enjoy this newsletter! The articles lead me to things I wasn't aware of and remind me of standards that can be forgotten with time."

Debbie Lynott, an executive assistant to a president and CEO in Jacksonville, Florida, said:

"I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and to learn faster, easier ways to handle different job functions. I also value ideas from my peers on how they handle their jobs. I was very excited when I found your product. It is a very interesting read, and I have found several helpful suggestions."

Teresa Hodges, an executive assistant in Columbus, Ohio, writes:

"I enjoy reading newsletters related to my profession and am always looking forward to learning new things. I like the newsletter. The format is easy to read and the articles are interesting. I like the 'Grammar Help' section!"

Brought to you from Karen Porter, The Administrative Professional Job Performance and Career Success Coach and founder and president of The Effective Admin -- serving thousands of administrative professionals just like you since 2004.

Have we met? For 18 years I worked on site in corporate, nonprofit, and higher education environments. I know what you do and deal with at work because I've held various administrative professional level positions too -- at five different employers. Plus I've worked side by side with admins when I've been employed in unrelated and higher level positions.

Even now, I spend all my working hours researching and writing in depth about the administrative profession. I reach thousands of administrative professionals through The Effective Admin resources and regularly correspond one on one with admins. With almost 24 years experience interacting with the "real" workplace and working admins, I am well aware of the substantial job you and your administrative professional colleagues perform daily.

These days, I'm gladly putting my ongoing research and 20+ years experience interacting with the real workplace to work serving administrative professionals like you with my professional development and training resources. Check out the knowledge, information, and practical strategies I share that will make you a better administrative professional ongoing.

My focus is on giving you relevant, practical information that matters in your job performance and career management.
