Six Months Until Your Review

It’s hard to believe it’s June 16th and you have six months to achieve your performance objectives at work. Your performance will influence your annual review with your manager resulting in a potential year-end bonus, salary increase, or promotion. Or all three.

I had years that I was ahead of my goals in June and years where I was behind due to a variety of reasons.

How are you doing? How can I help you now to reach your goals? If y0u are so overwhelmed you can’t even answer this question, that’s okay. Send me an email and tell me what’s going on in your EA world. Maybe I can help–for free.

Until then, thanks for being you. You rock. Don’t forget it.

Dear Executive Assistant,

I hope your 2018 goal setting exercises are going well. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the Goal Setting for Assistants workbook or if you are struggling with your goals. I am here for you!

I’m excited to tell you about a new workbook I’m working on for you: Process Improvement for Assistants. The objective is to build rapport and trust with your manager because you are an efficient process user and owner.

The format will be similar to Goal Setting for Assistants–it will be short but impactful, because I know you are busy and carving out time to focus on YOU can be a challenge when a million people need your input and assistance.

Though I have a list of areas to include based on my own decades of experience, I’d love to hear from you. What processes or responsibilities do you own that are sucking up too much of your time? You know, those time-killers, those things that have to be done in a timely manner, but otherwise aren’t a priority and they might be keeping you from focusing on what you really  need to focus on: the goals you’ve committed to.

I want to make sure I write the best workbook for you. Let me know if you have a responsibility or process you’d like me to cover.

Have a great day.

Teri
