Administrative Professional's Week

April 22 - April 28

Administrative Professionals Week is a time to recognize support staff for their accomplishments and contributions to corporate success. But, how do you choose the right way to show your appreciation?

Research from Texas A&M University reveals one gift of appreciation in particular that will naturally lift an employee's mood, create a lasting memory and boost productivity.

The research demonstrates that flowers and plants actually enhance people's ability to generate ideas and solve problems.

"Our study shows that adding flowers and plants to a work environment can be very meaningful to businesses in the modern economy," said Roger Ulrich, Ph.D., lead Texas A&M researcher. "People's productivity, innovation and creative problem solving, improved - which in certain circumstances could mean the difference between mild and great business success."

Rebecca Cole, author of Flower Power and host of Discovery Channel's Surprise by Design, offers an additional perspective. "Giving flowers is a loud, proud, sophisticated way of saying 'I appreciate all you do.' They're a great way to build a strong, lasting professional relationship," said Cole.

Busy Bosses Agree

A simple "Thank You" can go a long way to motivate employees and build loyalty. Administrative Professionals Week offers an ideal opportunity to show appreciation - and formally reinforce the value of an employee's contributions.

Here is a guide to put the benefits of proper office etiquette to work during Administrative Professional's Week.

Include everyone on your team.

Take time to thank all of your support staff -- from secretaries and assistants to junior managers.

Make it personal.

Whether you're buying a gift or making lunch reservations, think about the individual. For example, if you're ordering flowers, Choose an arrangement that fits the recipient's personality. Is that person traditional? Outdoorsy? Dramatic?

Be specific.

Tell the members of your support staff exactly what they did that you appreciate.

Do it year round.

Build your team's confidence and cohesion by remembering them after Secretaries Day, too. Whether it's an occasional gift, birthday flowers, a group luncheon, or simply a hearty thanks for a job well done, little things mean a lot. You'll increase morale and reinforce positive behavior when you simply recognize your staff members & associates a little more often.

Spring is officially upon us and I am Ready. It evokes thoughts of renewal and hope for a better future.

It reminds you that all things come full circle

and have new life breathed into them.

It's such a refreshing time of year, the peace and patience to reflect on the past and

plan for the future.

How about you? Are you constantly growing and changing to meet your goals? If something is not working, try something else. You will get no results if you don't look to constantly better your life.

As the saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers". What does this mean to you? To me, it means you must endure the rough patches & the obstacles to accomplish goals.You must embrace the negative and turn it into a positive.

I'm always challenging myself Personally & Professionally to find the right balance to better accommodate my Family & Business Clients Needs. Running a business is not always easy, but it is definitely worth it!

Everyday I am Learning, growing & meeting wonderful people.That's what keeps me motivated to continue to Smile during the difficult moments..

Here are a few things that are a part of my daily routine to keep me focused:

1. I acknowledge what I'm thankful for. It can be small things or big.

Because I believe in the Lord I pray about what I'm thankful for..

But anyone can just simply think or say out Loud:

I am Thankful for_________

2. I keep an open mind to listen or pay attention to what people are saying, because I care about people & I enjoy Learning about new subjects.

Even though everyone has their own way of thinking with our individual thought process.You can still respect each others difference of opinion and Learn from each other.

3. I Share what I learn with people & make a conscious effort to be a giving person.

This has helped me to continue growing and to expand my world..Especially with today's Technology we have the ability to connect with so many people from all over the world. Sharing, educating & laughing with each other.

All 3 of these things being a part of my day, gives me Positive Energy to continue my journey in fulfilling my Life Purpose succeeding in all things to come full circle.

Looking forward to hearing from You.
Please Share:

What are the things that help you to continue Learning & growing ?

God Bless,
