It’s time to talk about webinar etiquette. We love this feature but we’ve heard from a few attendees that some of the comments aren’t appropriate for the webinar and we wanted to take this opportunity to address webinar etiquette and protocol. Advice from Joan Burge for Webinar Etiquette and Protocol.
If someone is doing something or saying something that is unacceptable to you, then you need to speak up in a professional and assertive manner. It is really important to set healthy boundaries in the workplace. Thirst for knowledge. For some reason, I have always embraced a growth mindset.
It seemed that being the ‘go to’ person meant I should be up to speed on company policies and procedures, office etiquette and in-house systems as soon as I started. Be assertive about what you need and what you can offer. But when I started a new role 4 months ago, my experience counted for nothing! Don’t doubt your knowledge!
Basic social etiquette applies in the workplace. While you want to demonstrate assertiveness, you need to balance it with respect. If you feel others shifting away from you, getting nervous or antsy, or simply not paying attention, tune into yourself and make adjustments as needed.
They had great expertise in protocol, etiquette, and how to dress, speak and act as executive assistants. The general public boldly asserts: “ anyone can be an assistant.” Joan first focused on the five components of Adminology’s Formula for success: past/present, skill set, optimization and the future.

Administrative professionals are always asking us what it takes to really stand out in the workplace. After all, it’s a competitive market out there! If you really want to make a name for yourself and get ahead, it takes more than just skimming the surface.
This is a replay of the free webinar offered June 2016 titled Revolutionary Insights Into Self-Leadership (for administrative professionals). Administrative professionals don’t typically think of themselves as leaders; even the most successful struggle with the idea! After all, leaders are the people we work for, right?
This month’s question from our friends at The Admin Pro Forum is from Maddy who is struggling to become part of the team at her new office. Take a moment to read her question and let us know what you think in the comments of this blog. Have you ever found yourself in a similar scenario? What did you do?
In honor of Administrative Professionals Day, I want to share my thoughts on why I believe being an executive assistant is a rewarding career. When people tell me, “Anyone can do that job,” it bothers me. It tells me that person doesn’t really know what it takes to be a great assistant. I hear it from both sides of the desk.
It’s hard to believe another year is nearly over. Here at Office Dynamics International, as we wrap up this 25th year of business, we’re feeling both grateful and overwhelmed with all we’ve experienced in 2015. Perhaps you can relate to those feelings?
At Office Dynamics International we love what we do. Part of what we do is provide tools and services to administrative professionals to enhance the quality of their work-life that promote administrative excellence.
Imagine this… There is a huge fiery dragon roaming the earth. Some days, the dragon is a little more tame and other days the dragon is on a rampage breathing fire. Do you know this dragon? You may not be directly affected by this dragon the dragon can be creating pain for your industry, your employer, managers, executives, and customers.
We need to be assertive and show our bosses how much better they can function if the administrative jobs are taken care of by us. One young boss told me that he was self-sufficient and didnt need assistance, but what I saw was someone doing more than they needed to. I of course ignored him and went about providing the best service I could.
