Curriculum 

Course 1: Enhancing Your Leadership Skills

Administrative professionals are vital to the success of the leaders they support. As this role changes, there will continue to be an even greater demand for effective ‘behind the scenes’ leadership. This course focuses on what it takes to lead effectively in your role. As a participant, you will explore ways to develop and demonstrate critical competencies that will further enhance your ability to anticipate and respond to the needs of your organizational leadership while building your own influence in the workplace.

  • Problem solving
  • Anticipating needs
  • Adaptability

Course 2: Impacting and Navigating Organizational Culture

Administrative professionals sit in a critical role and are a trusted partner. Their actions and decisions directly impact those around them to create a culture of integrity. To contribute to a culture of integrity it is essential to understand individual weaknesses and strengths. When we understand these, we recognize and understand the same in others to assist in navigating the sometimes choppy waters of office politics. Participants will discover their role in helping to contribute and sustain a healthy and cohesive work environment.

Course objectives:

• Understand the active process between self-awareness and self-management
• Learn to create a culture of integrity
• Effectively navigate office politics and raise sensitive issues

Effective administrative professionals must be efficient at the art of project management — learning to utilize tools for success and leveraging the talents of their teams to reach and exceed project goals. Applying project
management techniques addressed in this course will allow administrative professionals to more effectively tackle multiple responsibilities, maximize productivity — and ultimately reduce stress!

Course objectives: 

• Develop your transactional project management tools (i.e. SharePoint, One Note, Excel, MS Project)
