Several years ago, I came up with Adminology. It was a formula for success for assistants. I still teach Adminology in our World Class Assistant™ certification and designation course because it never changes. Just bear with me as I explain this to you as it will all come together. Assistants should apply the Adminology formula to achieve better outcomes.

In any interaction with a client, there’s your space, her space, and the space between you that’s available to be shared. Many times, we tend to stay in our own spaces—coming from our own perspectives, caring mostly about our own agendas, and it often gets us what we need in the interaction, but it can be a bit shallow. You can go so much deeper, and have a more rich and connected interaction if you step out of your own space into the center you share with your clients.

As a proud former administrative professional , I’ve always enjoyed being a part of the admin community. In fact, from the moment I got involved in the field, I wanted to be an admin leader. I felt called to it from day 1. I loved the work and the people, and (even as a total novice) I thought I had something valuable to offer. So, back in 2006, I started a blog for admins called The Executive Assistant’s Toolbox, where I shared tips and tricks for success in the field.

Neuroplasticity, aka brain plasticity, is the brain's ability to “re-wire” or reorganize itself and that is good news for you. You likely have more control over how you think and behave than you might realize. At one time, people thought that only “super human” people were able to accomplish fantastic results. They believed that the brain's development stopped at a certain age and you had to deal with “what you were given.” Today, we know that is not true and

Successful businesses around the world spend enormous amounts of time and money developing a brand that sets them apart and tells their story. Their marketing departments consider every little detail, from logos to font style, from signature colors to tone of communication. Employees forget that developing a personal brand is just as vital for them and requires just as much thought and consideration.

Deloitte has become, in our opinion, one of the key go-to sources of information and analysis on the future of work. Their recent article Redefining work, workforces, and workplaces is a good example. In a relatively short article, it nicely synthesizes and explains "multiple converging trends and how they are already fundamentally changing all aspects of work." As the article chart above shows (click to enlarge), they focus on three main areas: work, workforce and workplace.

In essence, there was a re-match as the rabbit wanted to prove that being the fastest and ergonomically conducive animal, it would win the second race. Here, the tortoise was obviously left behind but the hare came to a major roadblock in their race track i.e. the bank of a river.
