• The most important skills for admins to master in the post-COVID era
• How technology and AI will impact the future of admin and how to work with it, not against it

Wine With Rhonda
It’s not a webinar. We will be having an open conversation with those present.
Bring your issues, bring your willingness to open the conversation, and join the conversation. This is a “Help Me Rhonda” or “Dear Abby” type of forum. When you register, you will be asked if you have any pressing issues you want discussed. It will be anonymous. However, I won’t be the only one answering the question. Everyone joins in to answer questions from their experience. This will be especially helpful as other admins who have experienced a similar situation can share what they did, what worked, and what didn’t work.
Admins supporting Admins. It doesn’t get any better than that. I hope you’ll join us. It is free to join for all!
