I see a lot of uncertainty popping up in the admin community lately. Each day I learn of more assistants being furloughed, let go, forced to take PTO or to take pay cuts as part of some of the incredibly tough business decisions companies are being forced to make right now. It’s more important than ever to be indispensable. One essential way to help you add value now is to help ease the transition your company is making to remote working.
I’ve teamed up with Ebony Belhumeur of The Assistant’s List to bring you the Adjusting Your Skills to a Remote Environment Webinar.

Remote working has never been more necessary than it is right now. And while remote working has its benefits it also has some unique challenges. The Remote Assistant Success course was built with the eager, self starting assistant in mind. This course is our first official collab at The Officials and we couldn’t have teamed up with a better person. Ebony Belhumeur of The Assistants List is the ultimate remote assistant.

As we all do our best at social distancing and self isolation to slow the spread of COVID-19, a new normal is settling in across the globe. For parents, this new normal includes trying to juggle working and childcare at the same time. As a mother of two who works from home most of the time, I am used to my children periodically being home while I work. However, this is a new era. The schools have closed indefinitely and we all have to do what we can to keep the economy afloat while keeping our family and friends safe.
Here are some tips to help you stay focused while being attentive parents.

Do you know your worth? Calculate your rate and stop devaluing yourself. Did you know you could be giving away $10k of your time away for free? Do you know your hourly rate? Do you know why it’s important? It is if you find yourself working overtime.
Did you know you are devaluing your worth every minute of overtime you work? Watch this video and let me show you how to calculate your time and why it’s so important for every admin and assistant to know. I have shown this to many admins and assistants and it blows their minds every time. 🤯 It’s simple but often overlooked.

I wrote this to The Officials Slack Community members today…
Today I am working on more content for the Creative Problem Solving course coming oh so soon and writing about failure and how we can use it as fuel.
I had a horrific work experience last year and it felt like it was never-ending. In fact it was only 5 months but it was happening during one of the most exciting times of my life, the first round of the Mentorship program. I eventually quit that job (something I had done 2 weeks into it but was convinced to stay) and I felt like a failure though I knew it was the right thing to do. Today, I started writing about how despite the circumstances I was in I still beat myself up. I still felt like I was failing because there were problems I couldn’t solve. And I like to solve all problems.
A few weeks ago Melissa Mosher, aka the Savvy Ninja, posted this in an online forum for admins and assistants.
