Consistency won’t get you anywhere, here’s what they failed to tell you You won’t be able to attract the opportunities you seek on LinkedIn unless you establish: 📌Clarity of purpose 📌Have a why 📌Optimize your profile 📌Share valuable content that demonstrates your expertise 📌Engage on others’ post 📌Understand your target audience 📌Share your personal stories 📌Observe and implement the trend You see, consistency devoid of the right strategies is like moving without a direction. As a teacher, my unique strategy for enforcing consistency in my pupils/students was motivating them and kicking against the previous believe instilled into them that they were dull. By recognizing their potentials, pulling them close with love and giving personal assistance when I gave everyone classwork, I became their ‘’why’’. Their consciousness evolved into seeing the possibility of becoming better because I believed in them. The resultant was increased intelligence and the drive to consistently grow. Remember, consistency relies on the right strategies to grow.

To kick-off our #StaffSpotlight series, Nathan Tyler - Director of Communications, Engagement & Student Experience, shared what he enjoys most about working at West . . “Everyday is different with new challenges, new opportunities and new stories to bring to life. I can’t ever envisage ‘being finished’ as there’s always something more to strive for, something that can be improved to make people’s working or studying experience better, or something for me to learn. I also get to work as part of a dynamic and diverse team of people, collectively dedicated to enabling others to be the best versions of themselves. There’s something incredibly rewarding about walking away from your work at the end of a long week knowing that you’ve had a positive impact on someone else’s life.” My top 3 tips for working within Communications would be: 1. Take the time to authentically listen and communicate. 2. Constantly challenge yourself, including your methodologies and preconceptions. Never be complacent. 3. Be empathic and ‘walk in another person’s shoes’… see the world from their perspective and try to understand the ‘why’ of what is important to them.

I'm thrilled to have earned three badges on LinkedIn that is :TOP ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE VOICE :TOP OFFICE ADMINISTRATIVE VOICE :TOP TIME MANAGEMENT VOICE though I'm pondering how they'll contribute to my career journey. I'm hopeful that God will lead me to the right job opportunity soon. Additionally, I encourage LinkedIn management to consider implementing a feature that allows users to display multiple badges on their profiles. May God guide my path and connect me with my destined opportunity. #linkedinfamily #linkedinmanagement #linkedinproffessions #linkeddirectors #linkedinofficials #everyone

Hey there, administrative superheroes! Let's talk about the power of networking in our profession. 🚀 As Executive Assistants, Office Administrators, department admins and anyone wearing one of a myriad of titles that are support professionals, we often find ourselves at the heart of the action, juggling myriad responsibilities with grace and efficiency. Oftentimes, we organize networking opportunities for everyone at our organization but don't organize any for ourselves. And here’s the thing: networking is equally essential for our success and growth (and sometimes our sanity! 😉). Here's why: Access to Resources. Networking opens doors to a wealth of resources, from industry insights to best practices. By connecting with peers, we gain access to valuable knowledge that can streamline our processes and enhance our skill set. Problem Solving. Let's face it, sometimes we encounter challenges that leave us scratching our heads. Networking provides a platform to seek advice and solutions from others who may have faced similar situations, helping us overcome obstacles more effectively. Professional Development. Continuous learning is vital for staying relevant in our ever-evolving field. Networking allows us to attend workshops, seminars, and conferences where we can expand our knowledge, learn new skills, and stay updated on industry trends. Support System. The administrative role can sometimes feel isolating, but networking introduces us to a community of like-minded professionals who understand the unique challenges we face. These connections offer support, encouragement, and a sounding board for ideas. Career Advancement. Building a strong professional network can pave the way for exciting career opportunities. Whether it's learning about job openings or connecting with mentors who can offer guidance, networking is key to advancing in our careers. A few ways to harness the power of networking: ·      EA How To, founded by Alicia Fairclough - a global network of Executive Assistants with resources, coaching, and more. A ridiculously low annual membership fee is a bonus! ·      American Society of Administrative Professionals – a platform where admins and EAs can connect, develop skills and earn recognition. ·      If you’re in Atlanta, Ga, check out “The Intentional Administrative Professional Conference” offered by Moaney Wright & Associates, Training Solutions coming in April at Mercer University.  💼✨ #AdminNetworking #ProfessionalGrowth #ConnectAndThrive #womenshistorymonth How do you leverage networking in your administrative role?

Networking is crucial for administrative assistants because it provides several benefits that enhance their professional development and effectiveness. Here are some reasons why YOU should belong to networks for like-minded professionals: Industry Insights and Trends: By networking with other PAs, they gain access to valuable industry insights and stay updated on the latest trends. This knowledge helps them adapt to changes and remain relevant in their roles. Learning Opportunities: Professional networks offer seminars, webinars, workshops, and conferences. Attending these events allows PAs to learn new skills, stay informed about best practices, and explore innovative approaches to their work. Resource Sharing: Networking provides a platform for sharing resources, tips, and tricks. You can exchange ideas, templates, and tools that improve their efficiency and effectiveness. Peer Support: Connecting with peers who face similar challenges fosters a sense of community. PAs can seek advice, discuss common issues, and find emotional support when dealing with work-related stress. Career Advancement: Networking opens doors to career opportunities. Through connections, admin assistants may learn about job openings, promotions, or lateral moves within their organization or industry. Building Relationships: Strong professional relationships can lead to mentorship, collaboration, and referrals. PAs can build a network of trusted colleagues who can vouch for their skills and work ethic.
