A global conference organizer contacted me today inviting me to speak in their upcoming Executive PA Conference in March 2009. What an honor! And a pleasant surprise. Because they approached me personally, I've also cleared this with my boss and HR, so I'm good to go!

I'm excited and anxious at the same time. This will be my first time speaking […]

I was away on Saturday to shoot and enjoy the MY FM 10th Anniversary Concert at the Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands. Fellow blogger, Andrew Wong has invited me and two other bloggers, KY and Lorna to join in the fun.

It was a grand event with performance by famous celebrities and appearance by MY FM DJs. The theme of the night was Revolutionize Cosmos and the presenters were dressed as the game’s characters.

I learned a new phrase today after reading an article on American Management Association (AMA) by Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D. That new phrase is counterbalancing activities.

Dr. Goman said, “People who thrive on organizational change have two things in common: They take good care of themselves and they have outside interests.”

I wish all my colleagues and friends who are administrative professionals (personal assistants, executive assistants, secretaries, administrator, office managers, clerks, and everyone who is an admin in one way or another):

HAPPY ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY!
