One of Joan’s readers asked “How do I get them to realize that I am not "Just a Secretary?” What approach would you recommend to change the general executive's perspective of this role as "just a secretary”?

The Blog-a-thon is Coming!

Our third annual blog-a-thon is just around the corner (beginning next Friday, April 1) and I can hardly contain myself. We have extremely cool prizes and they are so easy to win! All you have to do is read the blogs and share your comments every day. Or one day (but every day gives you a whole lot more chances to win). Last year I had to upgrade my fishbowl to a medium box, then to a big box to hold all of the comments we were receiving - yes, we really do DRAW the names/comments for our winners.

Earlier this week Joan wrote about email usage in her Monday Motivators blog.

Never Give Up Hope -- The Importance of Communities.

The recent situation in Japan is heavy on our minds. We have colleagues and loved ones in harm’s way. We are burdened with thoughts of how we can reach out to those in need. We also reflect on our own lives and realize our fears and concerns about our future and the unknown.

If you are reading this blog the chances are you are a professional –and if you are a professional of any sort – YOU NEED TO BE ON LINKEDIN.COM. Stop leaving your career to chance or luck and get out there and make things happen. One of the best ways to do this is to keep yourself networked both on and offline.
