Administrative professionals are highly valued for their ability to wear many hats, cope with high-level responsibilities, and work with both speed and accuracy.  Organizing all the pieces and parts of your professional life – from workspaces to meetings to travel plans, as well as keeping executives organized, takes a huge range of skills and attributes. The new COVID-19 world environment also creates its own unique challenges affecting almost all the responsibilities of the professional administrator. This interactive training tackles both the practical know-how you need to give you an edge in a busy multi-faceted role, as well as the mind-set, confidence and calmness to manage yourself, your work and your working relationships no matter what the challenges.
