So let me ask you: 1. Do you have a record of each of your clients/colleagues contact data, i.e. name, address, email, website, phone number etc.?

Red, green, yellow or blue - which are you? It’s just plain fun to learn about communication styles. But more important than that is you can really have an impact on others when you understand various styles. Not everyone has a “preferred” communication style but if someone does, you will want to try to determine that and which one. The reason is you want that person to listen to you and be open to whatever it is you are communicating.

I spoke for the first time to a group of about 40 administrative professionals at a local hospital on Administrative Professionals Day. Well.I had spoken to a group of teen girls at a camp once and I did speak at my daughter's shower, but this was different. I was the keynote speaker at a professional event and had to speak for 45 minutes. Yikes! I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be.

Payroll optimization can be one of the most time-consuming and complex factors of small business management. Yet, organizations that crack the code on streamlining employee compensation often discover innovative avenues for growth. With the right strategies in place, outsourcing and streamlining payroll processes can result in substantial time and resource savings.

K Harrison asks: Hello, do you have any stats on how long it takes to form a solid boss/assistant relationship? I know a lot is chemistry and communication. Sometimes I feel that some bosses are unrealistic in the time-line for their new assistant to know them and be able to read their minds or interpret their next move. Thanks. Dear K, I know from 38+ years of experience and having more than 16 manager/assistant relationships that it takes about 6 months to feel semi-comfortable with everything

A few years back I developed a simulation to expose key dilemmas in the incubation stage of Virtual Enterprise Networks. I used a powerful simulation-building tool called ithink from Isee , the newest version of which now allows deployment of simulations over the web. So I just republished the VEN simulation for free on www.bioteams.com. To run the VEN simulation.

Image by One Speckled Frog via Flickr. I don’t fret too much over the nuances of social media etiquette. I’m simply on my best behavior – or decent anyway – and expect the same of others. So a couple of things I experienced today really bugged me – one blatant and one simply thoughtless. First was on twitter. Someone I follow (who also follows me) sent me an @ message with a link to her business video on YouTube , with a note to “enjoy”.

With everything that transpires in the workplace and at warp speed, you and your assistant need to have daily huddles to make sure nothing falls through the cracks and the top priorities are always on the top! These daily huddles can take place on the telephone on your drive into the office or face-to-face at the office upon your arrival. (Don’t worry; they should only take 5 – 10 minutes if you do them every day.).
