Bittersweet sharing this, as I'm not attending Conference this year (heading to Lower North Island Secondary School Netball tournament).

But having been at the "coalface" in putting this event together I'm having serious FOMO! The quality of the conferen…https://t.co/z3cENnAU21

Come spend the day with me learning that minute taking isn't scary and tools and tips for making it easier!

But don't just take my word for it, here's what attendees on my last course said:

A very long time ago I entered this Award. In fact it was year one of the Award programme. I was a finalist and am still proud of that achievement today, and to have been in the company of other professionals that lead the way in our profession.

Having been a member of AdmiNZ for 18 years I'm more excited now than I have ever been by what AdmiNZ offers.

Our association has epitomised what being a modern administrative professional is, we've "pivoted", we've been "agile" and we've grown to meet t…https://t.co/p8p3c3qhhr

Really interesting article. I commented on a Facebook post the other day where someone queried using ChatGPT to help write their CV, cover letter and a writing example. A number of replies were dismissive of using AI, others were completely opposed. My th…https://t.co/bofOAGI1KI

Be the one! There is only 1 place left on next week's The Art of Minute Taking course at Kāpuhipuhi Wellington Uni-Professional. That follows this week's SOLD OUT Project Coordination Skills for Administrators course. #professionaldevelopment #lifelonglearning #adminprofessionals

Best wishes to friends & colleagues globally for a restful & enjoyable holiday season. 2022 was awesome & a big "thank you" to everyone that attended courses, connected & particularly to the team from @Adm1nz72 & @minutesmad1 for their support & encouragement this year.

[Sherie Pointon @SherieVP]

I am thrilled to be coming to Auckland next week to facilitate these two amazing courses - here's some some of the feedback from Wellington attendees about why YOU should join me:

This week I was asked what motivated me to start Admin Advantage NZ. It's a little scary to think that in November it will actually be seven years since I "took the plunge" and coming up three years since moving out of paid employment and into the busines…https://t.co/B91zJ1Ck3D

@lornaexplorernz Agreed. Haven't seen my parents for over a month, as they are in self-imposed lockdown but we'll extend it for now as there are cases in both girls' schools. Risk is to big for us if either of them got sick

Employers and Managers please don't have expectations that everyone will be performing at their usual capacity, and let your people know that it's ok.

[Sherie Pointon @SherieVP]

My office is in my home, but at the moment it is not "normal", my husband & kids are also home so there are added tasks (pressures?) physical, mental & emotional on top of the everyday. It's ok, we need to acknowledge that the situation we are in isn't normal.

@IMA_Global Our profession has lost a taonga (treasure). On the eve of the World Administrators Summit it is important we take a moment to honour Sonia & also continue her work in driving the professionalism of our work. Kua haere ia ki tōna moenga roa. She has gone to her eternal rest.

[Sherie Pointon @SherieVP]

Very excited to be the event admin for #WASummit. Let's make this happen! @AAPNZ @lucybrazier @WASummit2020 @marionlowrence @HelenMonument @RhondaScharf @ExceptionalEA @therealcathyhar @susanengel63 @IMA_Global
