Enlightening: Publications & White Papers

 

"The New Executive Assistant is a must-read for aspiring or seasoned executive assistants, their bosses, and everyone in between. Ms. Duncan doesn't just advise you to develop a proactive rather than a reactive approach to your administrative career, she guides you to discovering both what you want out of life and what your career can provide.

 

She covers all the important bases for surviving in today's fast-paced world: learning to adapt to change (technical and cultural); mastering the fundamentals of communicating what you really mean; tapping into your management and leadership potential; handling both yourself and others in conflict situations; promoting yourself, your boss, and your company."

 

The New Executive Assistant delivers. I found in this one book what countless seminars and 50-minute training series have not been able to provide; I found truly usable, relevant insights and information. Ms. Duncan has created a mentoring master piece for executive assistants (and anyone who wants to understand them)!"
