MC 5.0 out of 5 stars Coupled with the resources made available on the website mentioned in the book, I've learned so much about myself, my boss, and my company - and I've been able to apply the tips and goal-setting tools to my job to make work a more rewarding and happy place to be. I highly recommend this book. It's loaded with everything from quizzes to templates.But the title for this book is a misnomer.http://norrlandet.se/userfiles/event-20-20p-manual.xml

Having worked as a paralegal for over 15 years, I was looking to make a change, which involved less travel and a work schedule more in line with a 40-hour workweek. Although legal assistants do perform a variety of clerical and secretarial tasks, the position is different from that of a legal secretary, which seemed like a natural transition to me. So I searched for a recently-published book that would address today's office setting, including updates in technology (so different from when I entered the workforce), substitutions for dictation, which I'd heard was now passe, etc. But this text is all about emotions, affirmations, posture (!) and a host of other topics that are not what the average reader would expect to find in a book with this title. Maybe it will be helpful for high school students or those just entering the secretarial field (the portion about Minutes-taking was somewhat helpful). But for someone looking for tips on the hands-on, day-to-day workings of an office position, this is probably not the resource for you.I was hoping for examples of standard items - like agendas, minutes, desktop organization, etc. None of that, all conceptual. If you struggle to be appropriate or have healthy priorities or understand office politics, could be for you.Things weren't going so great, but after picking up this book I now better understand what my role is and what I should be doing better to help my new boss transition into the business. I'm now in the process of transitioning into a new city, and am searching for a job as an Executive Assistant. This book has helped me to better understand myself and be able to express my goals and ambitions for the business I'm going into, as well as being able to answer interview questions more thoroughly and completely, and I haven't even finished reading the book.http://aquatrustfina.com/userfiles/event-management-systems-manual.xml I highly recommend this book to anyone aspiring to be an assistant, or even existing assistants to better understand their roles, know more about what they want out of their position, and how to handle certain types of situations that they may not be as familiar with, or feel their skills are lacking. Make yourself a more valuable player in your job by reading this book. It is a great resource!!I've even ordered it for both of the assistants that I oversee and its helped them to truly understand the assistant role and what is expected of them.Her book helped me realize that if I wanted to be the best possible admin assistant I needed to improve, grow, continue to learn. Her book gave me the those tools and an new attitude. She has been very kind in answering any questions that I might have. I am building a professional library and her book holds a special place on that shelf. It is well worth the investment.Its full of useful tips and information. It's introduced me to a few new ideas and tools to make my job a lot easier.I would recommend this to colleagues and regularly pick it up to go over certain chapters.Page 1 of 1 Start over Page 1 of 1 Previous page Next page.

Zee 1.0 out of 5 stars There is nothing new here, really. The contents are not necessarily or exclusively for secretaries.Some of the contents are rather general. The U-SOFAR technique was just fair, nothing exclusive for secretaries. It is rather general. All in all, i regret a lot for purchasing this book because ended up, i could not use much of it for my training. The questionnaire was rather basic. I wanted to request for a refund but i was just busy with work, and missed it out I just.don't recommend it.No.This may limit the younger generation.I had never heard of this but found it very interesting. Neuroscience was explained by the author as a way to understand our own abilities and to maximize them and to apply the science to others, such as co-workers and employers, to better understand them. The author does spend some time on our personal appearance to others and how we project ourselves. In a professional setting you want to be professional you do not want to appear as a timid mouse ready to run at a moment’s notice. There are wonderful tricks and techniques the author includes to help a person to communicate as a professional individual in the work environment. Personal development, goals, conflict resolution are all wonderful skills to establish and to improve upon and are not just for the Personal Assistant but for every person around. That is why I truly believe this book offers so much for others beyond what the title suggests. The Neuroscience and self-analysis is a great tool for a high school entering the work force to someone who has a need to switch careers because the one they have just isn’t working. This book may help to uncover why that is. The Definitive Personal Assistant does provide the information the title suggests. Skills of the trade and tips of improvement are inside the pages once the assistant as a person has been covered. Techniques on how to handle objectives or situations are discussed with examples or instruction to help a personal assistant become the best they can. I liked the focus on the Personal Assistant and was fascinated by the approach from the Neuroscience aspect. I have provided this review in exchange for receiving the ebook copy.Ignore it at your own risk - it is a lot more than that. It can be truly a definitive guide for a personal assistant or secretary and many others. When you glance at the chapter headings, you straight away get an idea about its potential and depth: using neuroscience to maximise your brain for excellence, relationship management, compassionate communication, confidence, self-belief and goal setting, ergonomics, perfect presentations and the list goes on. Oh, and a “chapter to share with your boss” for good measure too. As you read it, you soon discover that it is an excellent introduction to many fascinating subjects that many secretaries and personal assistants should know about. It is quite possible that they already know a fair bit of this stuff too, partially through trial and error, experience and perhaps latter-day education and continuing professional development programmes. Yet it is a credible, powerful compendium. There is a lot more to being a secretary than collecting dry cleaning and fetching coffee; in this reviewer’s experience the position is one of the key roles in an organisation, knowing everything that is going on. It is not unknown for the same person to be better informed than the executive they serve. As well as top-rate office and administrative skills being necessary, knowing how to be a diplomat, nursemaid, peacekeeper and detective can help. This is by no means a dumbed-down book. Clearly it is abridged. You can only get a taster to many subjects, such as neuroscience (that can easily fill an entire bookshelf and our understanding of this subject is ever changing). The information served up is tailor-made towards the 160-or-so different job titles the author has estimated could benefit from this book (and that probably is an understatement, as the skilled, alert executive might be advised to sneak into their assistant’s office and borrow the book if they can’t bring themselves to order it for themselves. It could equally be described as a definitive guide for everybody in business as it does have a wide-reaching appeal. It is what you let it be. It can either deliver just the facts or serve as a springboard to deeper, more involved research and study. It is not a question and answer-style book so you have do a bit of work yourself, yet the chapters are relatively short, focussed and direct so you could even take a chapter a day during a break (or use it as your commute companion) as it is worth putting in the time to know the book backwards. Some stuff you will possibly skip through, others may engage your focus a little longer, yet overall this is a keeper. In the right hands this will become a dog-eared book in due course, a ready reference source close at hand. The intelligent boss would, of course, be ordering copies in bulk for all of their executive staff and passing a few copies around for any generally interested parties too.I also find it useful for realising what one can do, as after many years of 'practice', one did tend to just not pay attention to her capabilities and aptitudes. We just get on with things. But to stop and take time to look at what we can do, what we have achieved and where we can make progress is actually very beneficial. This book enabled me to do that. I truly enjoy it. And the use of neuroscience gives it a different 'dimension'. I am sure I am not the only one who gain so much support from this book.It sits on my desk at work and acts as my bible. Sue France is such a great author and knows what she’s talking about.I found it easy to read and very well written. Learning from other people's experience is putting things into perspective and helping me grow. Highly recommended.Includes helpful hints and tips including techniques for task prioritisation, time management and event planning. Sue also explains the science behind what we feel and how we behave and suggests ways to deal with these emotions in a work environment.

To see what your friends thought of this book,This book is not yet featured on Listopia.Too much mind-reading, enabling, and manipulation. I've been a PA for more than 20 years, and. no. I'm not going to pretend to be interested in sports so I can find out more about what makes my sports-loving boss tick. I'm not going to purposely mirror body language to gain a coworker's trust.

They also made me pause and read more thoroughly those things I was unsure of. Overall, I think this book would be extremely beneficial for anyone wanting to get started as a personal assistant or administrative assistant (as 'secretary' is no longer used in the US). It would also be beneficial for anyone just starting their first job. While it's obviously specific for personal assistants and secretaries, most of the information is extremely applicable to anyone working in a professional setting. It IS dry and 'clinical', but I expected nothing less from a book of this nature. I recommend it. However if you have been in role for sometime, you won't learn anything new from this book. It will give you a comprehensive overview and reinforce what you probably already know. However if you have been in role for sometime, you won't learn anything new from this book.

Already, I feel that learning curve has been cut in half. There are many tactical tips for the execution of this role included. Emah Solange Ehouman- Recchia The first 30 pages I read just completely blew me away. It really helped me to see things from another perspective and understand a lot of things. Customer review I run training courses for secretaries and P.A.s and read this book to see if it would be suitable to give to our students as a gift. Suitable? It is essential.
