BRIDGES NOT WALLS offers perspectives and insights through real stories from over two and a half decades of Administrative Assistant experiences. It says, wait . . . stop . . . and consider that our role as Administrative Assistant can be ALL that we want it to be. It says that our sense of self and purpose can thrive. It puts the controls in our hands and in our minds. This book is my give-back effort for a career drenched in purpose and service. The mission of it is to help you to be able to leave your work day and your mind-set not only prepared for tomorrow but also incited to face it all head on with confidence and energy. It quietly screams that this is accomplished by the choices we make. Through story-telling actual experiences, BRIDGES NOT WALLS for Administrative Assistants offers perspectives that can help you address conflicts, work in gratitude, and explore and seize opportunities to flourish. The views and lessons learned in this book were cultivated in times when life was happening with intense challenges, abundant focus, and motivation. Its heart is lit from the unsuspecting treasures that occur when we don’t even know it. I hope you enjoy the read, find motivation in your growth, and breathe easier afterward.
