Would you like your administrative support team to be even more productive?
Would you like your administrative support team to take more initiative?
Would you like to increase your confidence that your administrative support team is really working to their maximum potential?
Would you like to have more confidence in you administrative support team so you don’t have to worry as much?
Once you have delegated something to your administrative support team wouldn’t it be great if it didn’t get delegated back up to you? In other words, no more “reverse delegation.”
You’ve come to the right place to get your administrative support team person or people into a program that is proven to produce results. Even administrative support team people who feel they are very productive and efficient have seen improvements that they didn’t know were possible. They say they are even more focused and effective as a result of being in this program.
This is a coaching program designed to help train administrative support people to provide better support for the business owner and entrepreneur so they can do what they do best to help the firm be even more successful.
What outcome should a participant expect?
When the action items presented are implemented, each administrative support person will accomplish all of the following during this program:
- Establish their role (and establish a clear plan) for implementing:
o A clear well-documented processes for their role in your organization.
o Support to the Business Owner/Entrepreneur to help keep them on-track with their priorities and high payoff activities, and effectively help them feel safe in delegating everything else.
- You’ll learn how to implement a tool called “The Prioritized Action List” (PAL) so you can merge ALL action items to reduce distractions and improve efficiency and effectiveness and overall productivity. The PAL is a great communication tool that increases confidence of the business owner/entrepreneur in their team members.
- Ideal Model Work Week
- Effective Time Management
- Maintain a prioritized list of “processes needing to be documented” along with setting reasonable goals for getting the most important processes documented so that everyone on your team knows exactly what is expected from them and when.
- Help hold the business owner/leader accountable to doing their high payoff activities that move the firm forward, and not let them be distracted with lower payoff activities that can continually get in the way.
- This program will provide a tool for support people to expand their resourcefulness and ownership to get things done and produce even better results.
Who is this program for?
- This program was designed specifically for the Administrative Assistant in the office; however, the program is appropriate for any administrative support person to a Business Owner/Entrepreneur.
- The most successful business people typically work with coaches for a reason. Most people implement better and are more successful with a coach than without one.
- An administrative support person who can benefit from additional expertise and knowledge to help them be even more productive which leads to increasing the success of the firm (indirectly and directly).
What led to the establishment of this program? What need was identified?
This program was developed at the request of business owners who came to Anne because of the coaching results she has with them. They wanted her to help their support team person or people be even more productive which will in turn help the firm more quickly be even more successful. They didn’t want to hold their support team person or people accountable and yet wanted to be confident that the ‘right’ things were efficiently and effectively getting done to support the firm and the firm’s clients. A coaching program would allow the support team a way to ask questions and work-through obstacles as well as stay on-track in implementing key systems and performing their job as quickly as we ordinarily see (or faster). This program is designed for support people to help implement their roles as quickly as possible (mindful that there are other priorities in the office to juggle).
