Overview/Description
Do you want to be an effective and powerful communicator? Do you want to take charge, welcome responsibility and view challenge as an opportunity? In today's workplace, when administrative support professionals talk, supervisors listen. They have been empowered and given many managerial responsibilities. They can now work alongside rather than as subordinates to their managers. They no longer only proofread, make coffee, or take notes. Today they run team meetings, benchmark, make presentations to senior management, pass out their own business cards, and earn degrees. Administrative support professionals who can communicate, teach, guide, mentor, and make important decisions have a greater chance of achieving upward mobility in their workplace. Administrative assistants can earn more money as a result of taking on these responsibilities. This course will show you how to communicate with power and confidence, a skill that will enable you to advance your career.

Target Audience
Administrative support professionals who want to communicate more effectively and be better equipped to take on more responsibilities in the workplace and advance in their career.
