Full Seminar Description
We Focus on What Counts: Administrative Competencies. Very few administrative conferences or seminars focus specifically on the competencies necessary to be successful at adding value every day within the administrative arena. Office Dynamics is the premier leader in the development and presentation of sophisticated training programs and information for administrative professionals. Our primary focus is about what you want and need. We understand how you think and what challenges you on the path going forward. We know the opportunities and dreams you wish to attain. Plus, we speak your language! Cost per person: $1489 (Early Bird rate: $1389)In the past few years, businesses across the board were shaken by an international economic tsunami. This shaking affected our lives to the core on many fronts: tuition, mortgages, jobs, retirement pensions, even our comfortable way of thinking. The bubble truly burst. Now as the dust clears, businesses are entering an unparalleled threshold of recovery.
As administrative professionals, our desire is to move forward on our path of work and life in a positive and purposed way, and to be valued as we become engaged, creative, fulfilled and purposed, more than ever before.
Today's business directive is clear: deliver added value to your company, every day. Yes, we want to be valued. But it is imperative that we exceed expectations and deliver the goods, every day. How is this accomplished? We increase in value by adding value.
- We need to be ENERGIZED
- We must SHAKE UP the PROFESSION
- We must seek GROWTH and SUCCESS by becoming ENGAGED with our work on a deeper, more organic level.
- We must be PURPOSED, DYNAMIC and CREATIVE in how we think and in what we do.
- We must be STRATEGIC thinkers, decision makers and doers.
- We must find it MEANINGFUL to tune ourselves to our manager's work and dynamic pace.
The Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence will help you position yourself for this brave new world of business. You're stronger. You're in a better place than three years ago. It's time to wake up, get up and move again! Let's get excited about delivering added value. Let's develop our unique value, turn the page on the past and focus on the path forward.
