Joan-Birthday-Book.Pdf A BOOK OF GRATITUDE Words Of Gratitude To Joan Burge From Administrative Professionals Around The World Joan, Happy Birthday. As the sun has made a full rotation for you around the sun I know you will mark this day well. Surrounded by your children and grandchildren I hope you truly make the most of your day and take time to be cut off from the rest of the crazy world to focus on them. I have said this before and I will say it again. Thank you for the work you do. Thank you for the lives you have touched. The smallest things from you make the greatest impact on those around you. I am a life that you have changed. You gave me confidence when I had none. You gave me a direction and showed me where North actually is. You are a role model, mentor, mother, wife, sister, friend and a lighthouse to those around you. You seem to have this way of getting into others heads and hearts without them fully realizing that you are there until they take time to reflect later, or start carrying out the work you have instilled in them. I wish you peace, love, prosperity and the ability to go deeper into yourself and find your truest relaxation. Have a wonderful birthday and I hope to see you in the near future. Staci I have been supporting the same VP for 22 years, and we can practically finish each other’s sentences. Recently, my boss took a promotion within the company, but she was unable to promote or bring me along with her. Now I will start supporting someone I’ve never met. I know it’ll be awkward at first, especially finding out what he expects of me (and vice versa). I am reminded of one of Joan’s recent” Monday Motivators” and it is so relatable to what I am going through: If you are polishing the status quo because you are comfortable, beware. Comfort is a narcotic. It takes away your desire to look into the future. It makes you think things will be the same tomorrow as they are today. Comfort will have you expend your energy on warding off the future instead of developing skills to deal effectively with it. Sooner or later, the future will come calling, and all the fortifications you have built won’t be able to keep it out. If you are not prepared, the new reality can be harsh. I always look forward to the Monday emails, and have listened to many of Joan’s webinars (something I enjoy each month). Joan, I hope you have a wonderful birthday (mine is the day before – go Leos!), and many more years ahead. Thank you for your inspiration, wisdom and weaving a common thread among those of us who support our bosses and their teams. Lydia S. I am an experienced Executive Assistant / Administrative Assistant for quite a number of years and was looking for a new job, a new challenge and had been for a number of interviews. I was on the internet looking for tips and tricks to enhance my career which I was passionate about when I stumbled upon Office Dynamics Administrative Assistant 27 lessons. I first thought that would this be of any help to me as I had already been in this position for a long time. I started looking at the 1st lesson and did not stop till the end at lesson 27. There was so much information on how to work better, smarter, efficiently with confidence. Joan really inspired me with all the knowledge she imparted on those videos. After going through all her videos and many others I went for the interview the next day and got the job. There were so many things I learned from her which helped me land myself a good job. Lorraine A. "Joan, here's a little message on your Birthday to let you know how you have helped me in my career - I only discovered Office Dynamics within the last couple of months and already find myself quoting things you have said on a Webinar to people, or to myself for motivation. Monday Motivators give me the little pick-up and smile I need to have a great start to the week. And, as I am the only EA or PA in my office, I have a virtual community I can go to when I feel stuck or alone. Thank you Joan, you really are an inspiration to us all and I wish you the Happiest of Birthdays (my fellow Leo!), Love Jenni from London, England." Jenni Here is one of Joan’s messages that inspired me a lot. Thank you. “Star Achievement is a way of thinking… being... and performing. It is a way of life.” Florence Joan Burge and Office Dynamics is awesome and inspirational. I have learned a lot in doing my day to day job better. Thank you Joan Burge for your insight and thoughts. Tameika P. By the evidence of my own mother who is also born on August 16th, these women are a stalwart of knowledge and a pillar of strength. Their candidness and strong intrapersonal skills adds to their personality. I appreciate the wad of knowledge held by Joan and her love for her work which allows her to empath that wealth on upcoming office assistants. Her motivation is admirable and encourages me as a person to refine my skills. Happy Birthday Joan and continue the great work! You are appreciated! Allana A. Hi, I am new to Office Dynamics. I just completed the first half of the program and am anxious to graduate in October. I have been an executive assistant for 27+ years but never knew about this program until I came to this company to work last year. The fact that she is so willing to share her knowledge, experience and time with other EA’s is wonderful. So often I have seen successful EA’s who were not willing to help other EA’s for fear they would become better than them or appear to be better at what they do. I love the challenge of learning new things and the opportunities it provides in an ever changing and growing industry. Thank you, Joan, for being a strong, independent woman who helps so many by what you do and share. Happy birthday, with wishes for many more to come! Lisa W. Happy Birthday, Joan! Thank you for continuing to inspire those who call Executive Assistant their chosen career. Your messages consistently highlight the value of creativity, self-confidence, persistence and resilience in our pursuit of excellence. Lee Happy birthday! I found your webinars online about 8 years ago when my past employer cut back the Admin training budget. I have learned so much valuable information from you and hope to have the pleasure of attending your conference one day. Have a fabulous day! Thank you for everything you do! Patricia B. I have been inspired and remotivated as I have heard Joan’s webinar sessions. Thank you, Joan, for what you continue to offer us in the administration profession. Louise P. Joan, I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday from another August baby (8/25)! I also want to thank you for inspiring professional administrative assistants all over the world. I have been an administrative assistant for over 35 years but I have only known you for 4 of those years. I always look forward to your wonderful webinars where you have interesting topics and speakers. I am at the end of my working career but I look forward to using the tools you have taught us during my retirement as well! I will end with another Happy Happy Birthday, you are an inspiration to us all! Shelley Joan, your boundless energy and passion for what you do is infectious and makes me want to be a better Executive Administrative Assistant. The fact that you share so much of your knowledge and experience at no cost to us is astonishing in this day and age of whoever has the most money wins. This is especially important because our institution does not really have a budget for staff development so I look like a hero all the way around with my ever increasing enthusiasm, my personal and professional development, and saving the company money as well. Happy Birthday Joan! May your year be as blessed as you bless others! Micki A. Joan, I just want to say thank you for your inspiration and dedication to the admin professionals. In joining your Office Dynamics Webinars, you give so much advice that I have and will continue to take with me in my career, as not only an administrative assistant, but in future positions as well. Thank you for all you do! I hope you have an amazing birthday! Angie B. I’ve been reading Monday Motivators for many years. It has provided many wise and wonderful beginnings to my work week. I would read them Monday and be inspired to step up and be more, to be a better me. I know because you , Joan have shared life with us, that it hasn’t always been smooth sailing and through life’s ups and downs, you have always been UP in your messages of inspiration. And now we get to enjoy the many webinars and be stretched to have an impact right where we are. I am grateful for your impact in my life. God Bless you, Cathy Russell of Carmel, Maine.
