In this age of non-stop digital communication, how you represent yourself online and through digital media directly impacts the perception your executives, colleagues, and customers have of you and your skills.

Do you understand the connection between what you do each day as an admin and how it impacts your company’s success? Could you give a company tour and explain the core role of each team or department? Do you know how your company makes money and delivers value?

When you continually cultivate your knowledge of how businesses run at every level, you improve your ability to make good judgments and quick decisions. These abilities help you think more creatively about the challenges you encounter and find innovative solutions for solving them. Every action you take and each decision you make impacts another. So it’s important to understand how it’s all connected.

Join us for this session and learn:

Admins are really good at taking care of other people – their executives, colleagues, and fellow admins. But many don’t give themselves the same level of attention.

Yet self-care is crucial for admins, and it’s not just necessary when a personal crisis arises. Positive experiences, such as a new job, moving, getting married, or having a baby, can be stressful, too. The daily grind of life can also take its toll on your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. This is why a focused plan for self-care is so important – regardless of what’s going on in your life.

If you’re not taking proper care of yourself, your energy, productivity, and focus can take a nose dive, and lead to burnout. And if your tank is on empty, you’re not good to anyone – yourself, your executive, colleagues, friends, or family.

So how do you keep your tank “full” and take better care of yourself personally and professionally?

This session will help you solve this problem!

During this session, you’ll learn:

• How to create an achievable plan for your own focused self-care.
• How to develop systems to support you at home and at the office.
• Simple ways to improve your diet, exercise, and sleep habits.
• How to refill your tank when you hit empty.
• How to offer self-care support to others in need.

Join us to learn how to develop a plan for self-care and take care of one of the office’s most valuable assets: you!
