Welcome back to ‘The Future Focused Admin’! In our Season 2 premiere, we dive into a topic that's been sparking widespread conversation - saying goodbye to the title "Assistant." Inspired by a LinkedIn post from Candice that blew up with over 700,000 impressions, we explore why change is always hard, the mixed reactions to this shift, and what it means for the future of administrative roles. Change is inevitable, and with it comes a range of opinions and emotions. We couldn't wait to jump into this discussion, and we want to hear from you! Share your thoughts, comments, and opinions with us. We love engaging with our community as we navigate these evolving trends together. Tune in and join the conversation!
