Stepping up to assist colleagues when they need help is something we should all do at some point. As an administrator it is nothing to pick up a task from someone or manage meetings, organize events or mentor and buddy up with new staff members at the last minute. But one thing I have had to do more and more over the last 12 months is to step up and assist when staff have been sick or unable to cope with exhausting workloads. These staff are managers, team leaders, advisors. The purpose to help my colleagues is not for me to step up into their roles or want to takeover, but only to ensure the workload does not pile up while they are away and to ensure that things continue to progress for the benefit of the team and the organization and our clients/stakeholders. Yes, I have the opportunity to learn whilst on the job but it is the experience of the challenge of making the impossible seem possible, the challenge of ensuring things continue smoothly and seamlessly as possible and to fill in the gaps the best I can. It is scary and daunting and it adds to my workload but we do what we need to do. It doesn't matter what your title is, any of us can do it. And if you are an administrator reading this, just know that everything you do are skills and experiences you will have under your belt. Don't be afraid to say yes to something that seems scary or daunting. Most of my learning has been when I have been thrown in the deep end and needed to learn quickly. Today with Google and the ability to research and now we have AI we have the ability to learn and upskill at our finger tips. Don't be afraid to step out. I always say, if I can do it so can you. Take the challenge.

Professional assistants might be weighed down by an excessive workload, disengage because work is too dull or routine, or lack direction through fuzzy goals or no goals. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/ASpc2 #pa #va #learn #Timesavingtips

Hilarious experience last week and it shows why I place so much value in the 4 eyes approach to work. I reviewed a piece of data from a colleague regarding some quotes, made a number of adjustments and updates to the Excel and shared it back with the small team involved in the task at the end of the day. I get an email back from him overnight (paraphrased except for the key sentence): You are wrong, there is a mistake in here. I have waited 11 years to be able to say this to you. I read it, laughed as I knew I had rushed the end of the task myself and he was correct, I had linked a formula to the wrong cell. I did notice something looked slightly "off" with the answer but it was not so bad that it made me go back & look at the data before sending it out, I had planned to take another look in the morning to satisfy my curiosity. Saw him later that day, he looked me in the eye, smiled and said, you are usually telling me where I have an error, it took 11 years for me to find yours, I am going to enjoy my day today. I told him he should, he found the error I made, I was glad he found it and thank you for doing that. (while smiling) I have been a strong proponent of the 4 eyes approach for a long time and this is a perfect example of how it works. Sometimes the answer looks plausible enough that you just go with it, but when it is checked, the error is found. We all make mistakes, finding, correcting & learning from them is key. Which is why I am sharing a, fortunately non critical, error and what can be learned from it.
