"Doing the monthly self-assessments makes a person feel good about how the score comes out and identifies what weaknesses to work on. It opens the door to knowing how a person is doing with a particular issue or problem in the office. The Office Professional gives ideas of how to handle the work environment and priority setting to better the work place. It gives ideas of what is going on in other offices, and how other people handle certain issues. It gives insight to a scenario that may be similar to your office or another office's situation. Or it may give you insight to what not to do or what to do in a certain office environment. Reading these articles gives you a break from your work. The Office Professional would help new readers, younger people who are joining the work force, older workers who continue to work, or older and experienced workers coming back in to the work force. "

"I have been a reader of The Office Professional since 2002. I find the Self-Assessment and full-length articles sections to be most helpful. The Self-Assessment section keeps me on my toes. It gives me a chance to improve my weak spots and reinforce my strengths. Plus it’s fun to do. The full-length articles are always appealing and beneficial.
The Office Professional helps me to do my job better by letting me know that what I do is important. It helps me with timely reminders and new ideas to try and share with others.
I would recommend The Office Professional to other administrative professionals because the newsletter focuses on our needs and concerns. The newsletter contains information that is always valuable and motivating. I really enjoy your newsletter!"

"I find the self-assessment, management thinking and office problem articles to be most helpful. The assessment section is the best because it offers both a refresher and learning opportunities, and helps one identify the areas that need improvement or sharpening. The Office Professional gives practical advice, real world situations, and short, efficiently written articles. It’s a great tool you are able to read in a reasonably short amount of time. I find something helpful in each issue. There aren’t many tools out there for administrative personnel. This one is worth the time and money. "
—Glory Olson Executive Assistant
"I have been an ardent reader of The Office Professional since February 2008. I enjoy reading all of the sections of this newsletter and find each article to be very useful. The various topics provide an in-depth view of office processes. For instance, the commentary of “The Editor’s Notebook” enhances my professional expertise by providing gainful guidance relating to office situations. The “Self Assessment” section allows me to identify my strengths and weaknesses. It gives me an opportunity to discover what my abilities are. “My Office Problem” challenges my problem-solving skills to find a solution to a predicament. The “Cyber Assistant” section broadens my wisdom of advanced technology. A must for working in the 21st century! If you want to maintain the latest in office techniques, then The Office Professional is a “must have.” All of the articles are well-written, focused and well communicated to the reader. No one in an office environment should be without The Office Professional and I wholeheartedly recommend this publication. It is a valuable resource tool for interesting and knowledgeable information."

I can relate to a personal story, and my first instinct is to help if I can. The advice in the newsletter is professional and trustworthy. I especially enjoy the “Cool Tool” tips. I’ve checked out most and used several of them. The Office Professional is a professional, well-written newsletter that pertains directly to the administrative professional."

"I love to read the Editor's notes; she makes me laugh and gives personal life scenarios. The Office Problem is always good since I can relate to the problems. The Never, Never is very good as a reminder of correct grammar. The Self-Assessments and the Office Problems are most helpful. I can't wait to get the next issue of readers writing in with solutions. The Office Professional helps me to be a better communicator and have more self-confidence. I would definitely recommend it. Everything in the articles helps readers with daily life issues on their work habits and educates them on everyday problems and good grammar usage."
