Would you like to know how to better communicate what you can do, can't do, will do, won't do, need and want in the workplace in your administrative role?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis could be anything from asking for a salary increase or funding to attend a conference to asking for an interesting work assignment or even asking to decrease your workload if you're overloaded now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt could be communicating your accomplishments (admins have plenty of them), negotiating impossible deadlines, conveying your boundaries, explaining needs to multiple managers to meet their expectations, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are so many things administrative professionals need or want to communicate in their jobs, roles, and careers. What's tricky is how to do so effectively-so you get the needed or desired results of your communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to get results in your executive assistant or administrative assistant job, role, and career and be an effective administrative professional, you must use strategy in your communication. Think before you speak or write, and plan what you will say and how you will say it to move toward getting the results you require or desire in your administrative professional job, role, and career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis also makes for more efficient communication, as well as effective communication, between you and your manager or executive, coworker, colleague, vendor, customer or client.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is why Karen Porter, a former assistant herself and founder of The Effective Admin brand of professional development resources, wrote this book Communication Strategies for Administrative Professionals: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--to encourage administrative assistants and executive assistants to step up and ask for what they need and want to do their jobs well and to have satisfying administrative careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--to help administrative assistants and executive assistants state what they can do, can't do, will do, and won't do for those they support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis does not happen nearly as often as it should in the workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ONLY WAY to ensure your needs and wants are met in your workplace in order to do your administrative assistant or executive assistant job (and do it well) and in your career desires is to STEP UP AND COMMUNICATE strategically-as needed or on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're ready to take baby steps to make your voice heard in your workplace, this is the book for you. It has quick reads such as short chapters and quick, specific ideas to help you communicate strategically in the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut don't buy this book just to add it your \"career library\" at home. Buy it because you're going to pick an idea out of it and try it out. Implement something from the book (any one thing is a start and could impact your job or career positively).
