Do you know how to ask for AND GET what you want or need in your administrative assistant or executive assistant job, role, and career? Would you like to know how to better communicate what you can do, can't do, will do, won't do, need and want in the workplace in your administrative role?This could be anything from asking for a salary increase or funding to attend a conference to asking for an interesting work assignment or even asking to decrease your workload if you're overloaded now.It could be communicating your accomplishments (admins have plenty of them), negotiating impossible deadlines, conveying your boundaries, explaining needs to multiple managers to meet their expectations, and more.There are so many things administrative professionals need or want to communicate in their jobs, roles, and careers. What's tricky is how to do so effectively-so you get the needed or desired results of your communication.In order to get results in your executive assistant or administrative assistant job, role, and career and be an effective administrative professional, you must use strategy in your communication. Think before you speak or write, and plan what you will say and how you will say it to move toward getting the results you require or desire in your administrative professional job, role, and career.This also makes for more efficient communication, as well as effective communication, between you and your manager or executive, coworker, colleague, vendor, customer or client.This is why Karen Porter, a former assistant herself and founder of The Effective Admin brand of professional development resources, wrote this book Communication Strategies for Administrative Professionals: --to encourage administrative assistants and executive assistants to step up and ask for what they need and want to do their jobs well and to have satisfying administrative careers.--to help administrative assistants and executive assistants state what they can do, can't do, will do, and won't do for those they support.This does not happen nearly as often as it should in the workplace.The ONLY WAY to ensure your needs and wants are met in your workplace in order to do your administrative assistant or executive assistant job (and do it well) and in your career desires is to STEP UP AND COMMUNICATE strategically-as needed or on a regular basis.If you're ready to take baby steps to make your voice heard in your workplace, this is the book for you. It has quick reads such as short chapters and quick, specific ideas to help you communicate strategically in the office.But don't buy this book just to add it your "career library" at home. Buy it because you're going to pick an idea out of it and try it out. Implement something from the book (any one thing is a start and could impact your job or career positively). Read, think, act!

A self guided tool to help writers and speakers focus on how to build a brand and market their writing and or speaking.

Confidence is learned. Everyone wants to be confident, but you need to learn what makes you feel confident and share that with others. Everyone has different things that make them feel confident. Cal feels confident when he jumps. Ada feels confident when she pretends to cook. Ben feels confident when he can act in a costume. Book eight of the I Feel ? When ? book series shows how many monster friends play together in a way to help everyone feel confident. They cope with their desire to feel confident by sharing what makes them confident and finding an activity they can all do what they do well. Each monster struggles with finding a way to work together and do what they can do well. They work out their feelings producing a play together. This colorful book opens the door to discussing confidence in a nonthreatening way for younger audiences. It also uses nonviolent communication as described on the YouTube channel 'Dealing with Feelings' by psychotherapist Dr. Jim Porter and Karen Porter in their weekly show 'Feeling Fridays'. The husband-and-wife team invites you to explore feelings with your young reader as they begin to read. See how these furry friends learn appropriate ways to express feelings and solve problems by coping with their feelings through listening to one another and observing each other without judgement, expressing feelings and needs, and coping with feelings in compassionate helpful ways.Many of the words in the book are basic sight words.. Sight words are a subset of high-frequency words that do not sound the way they are spelled and are therefore not easily learned. Identifying these words and then finding them in the story will build literacy. Using words that students are familiar with helps them build fluency and flow as they read. Teaching students to memorize these words, by sight, helps them read faster with confidence. As you read through this series the young reader can develop mastery of all the sight words.Each story also contains a feeling word to build emotional literacy.

Will they both apologize for wandering off? Will they be reunited with their moms? Read this story to find out how these friends help each other and cope with anxiety and resolve their problem. See how they manage to observe and communicate their feelings of anxiety after getting lost. Explore how it can help to have friends understand you and be patient when you get anxiety. Maybe after reading this book, you will realize that everyone gets anxiety sometimes, and it is ok to get anxiety and tell people, but not ok to do things that will create more anxiety in your life. This is the fifth book in the twenty-four-book 'I Feel? When?' series that has a plot that moves to a satisfying conclusion, where characters talk about their feelings. They spring from the Emotatude' picture book series that examines how we vibrationally feel inside, and the Emotion Mandala picture book and coloring book. Beginning sight words are used to make this series accessible for early readers. The printed conversation is most often placed nearest the person talking. Reading the printed conversation to find out what the characters say is almost as easy as reading the pictures to find out what they do and how they feel.

Chocolate is that sweet "something extra” that infuses anything ordinary with delectable flavor and zest.

Blending true stories and several original choclate recipes with rich biblical examples, Karen Porter explores eight ways that friends can help one another enjoy life — and point each other to the God who made every good and perfect gift — especially chocolate!
