Happy Administrative Professionals Day/Week to all who celebrate!

At the time of recording, I am recovering from having pneumonia and bronchitis at the same time! The message up top is short and sweet, the episode that follows is evergreen and dear to my heart.

All tickets to Ask An Assistant #AdminProDay events have been refunded. Thank you to everyone who enrolled, your belief in me is humbling, and I look forward to learning together later this year, and always.
