Administrative and Office Professionals
CENTER FOR CONTINUING STUDIES | ST. CLOUD STATE UNIVERSITY
INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP FOR LIFELONG LEARNING
Attention Supervisors:
Treat your administrative and office professionals to a day of professional development. Give your staff an opportunity to be re-energized as they learn to once again, “find meaning in their work”.
Who should attend?
- Executive Secretaries
- Administrative Assistants
- Professional Assistants
- Clerical/Support Staff
- Graduate Assistants
- Supervisors
Overview:
The budget's been cut. The open position in the office will remain unfilled - with the duties being assigned to those remaining.
Your supervisor has just developed a pet project that would be best accomplished by you.
Its flu season and you are trying not to catch it while making sure that the office is covered and projects are up to date.
Ah, the joys of working! There are joys to be sure. It's just more difficult to connect to those joys in today's “do more with less” – faster, society.
Increasingly our American work ethos has encouraged us to work more and enjoy it less. We have experienced a “disconnect” to what is important to us and in turn, to the meaning that our work holds. This disconnect can lead to decreased motivation and reduced productivity.
Presented by Tracy Knofla, attendees will not only be educated during this workshop – but will also be entertained and energized!
Expectations:
This workshop will help you re-connect with what's important to you in your work life and teach you how to stay focused on the meaning of your work during even the most stress-filled times. It will uplift you and provide a framework for you to start each day on a positive note.
During this fast paced and informative day you will:
- Meet others who share the same joys and challenges in their work.
- Identify the aspects of your work that hold significant meaning for you .
- Create a plan to stay focused on the meaning of your work.
- Use your internal motivation to help you be more productive at work.
- Learn to teach others ways to connect with the meaning of their work.
- Share your enthusiasm with others.
