I am speaking this morning at an administrative event so looking forward to meeting some new assistants. The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.
I arrange quite a few events and have realized the importance of reading and reviewing the contracts carefully, highlighting key dates. I had an event for November 7th and the contract was signed, sealed and delivered, but then I noticed the hotel had put the wrong date on the contract. What are the dates you can cancel by?
I have seen some contracts for event planners and it seems like a lucrative career to get into. I love the planning, organizing and running around that goes into bringing a conference from a thought to a successful event. Now I am glad I stayed in this career because I can do all these things.
If someone puts in a "birthday" or a "pick up the dry cleaning" reminder in their calendar as an all-day event, to those who are using the Scheduler, it will look like the person is busy for the day and in reality they may have the day open. We also have a staff calendar at work and use the all day events the same way.
Lynn has organized strategic events such as the companys internal trade show, all-hands meetings, the annual awards banquet, internal events and leadership off-site meetings. Holgate is the Executive Assistant to the President, she also reports to the Director of Human Resources and manages a staff of four.
Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. If you meet someone at an Administrative Assistant conference, for example, make sure to follow up with that contact within a week or two after the event. Give, receive and record contact information. Give before you get.
Have you ever been at an event that isnt well organized? He then proceeded to tell me about a previous event he was at where there was no organization. An organized person thinks everyone knows how to arrange things, but that is not the case. You cannot believe how hectic it is when it isnt."
I thought I would pass this tip along in the event you find yourself wishing you could take your words back. I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion.
Making a List, Checking it Twice The Board meeting I am preparing for is a two-day event and I dont want to forget anything that I need to do leading up to it, or anything that I need on the day of. Im sure my assistant must think I am the Checklist and To-Do List Queen. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice.
By using the template I was able to accomplish everything with enough time to change, touch up my make up and hair and then off to the next event. I also had a reception and dinner to attend that night at 6. My opinions are based on experience, education, trial and error and blunders and bloopers made throughout my life and career.
when there is some function or event at the office, because it is not always assumed. I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion. It is almost palpable.
