In this episode, Craig and Jodie discuss five common hurdles that administrative assistants face and provide strategies to overcome them with our expert contributor- Abigail Barnes adding her insightful wisdom to our listener question.
You will learn proven strategies for improving communication, organization, tech skills, time management and implementing feedback effectively.
From leveraging the right tools and upskilling executives to applying expert techniques like the "TTT" model, this is a masterclass in overcoming common roadblocks and levelling up as a top-performing assistant.
Our listener question: Hi Crodie: "I am an EA of 10 years and love my role! I have attended time management courses in the past but cannot seem to implement the tips when I get back to my desk, I have to juggle all of the time which I have learned to do really well - do you have any tips for me to retain knowledge"?
Time management expert Abigail Barnes reveals a powerful 3-step process to retain and implement training learnings before returning to your desk. By identifying your "why" for the training, listing key takeaways, mapping them to your challenges, and creating an action plan for the biggest overlap area - you'll turn knowledge into application. This method helps you truly own what you've learned and start sequencing tasks more effectively, rather than constantly juggling.
