This week we are learning how to keep our promotion hopes alive, despite not being right outside our boss's office door; we are super excited about Microsoft's swooshy new transcribing feature; and we are all set for Lucy Chamberlain's free 2-hour workshop 👩🏻‍🏫

NewsWrap

  • Working from home doesn't need to mean that you are invisible to promotion opportunities. The WSJ gives us some great tips on how to be noticed while we are not in the office. Thankfully, none of them include being online until 3am. 
     
  • Gone, it appears, are the days of calling into a meeting and putting yourself on mute while you hang up the washing. Now if you leave your camera off of a zoom call, you're a weirdo or you are skiving 
     
  • When applying for a new role, these cover letter tips from the Talented Ladies Club will absolutely help you to stand out in all the right ways 
     
  • Exciting news that London's Barbican has reopened! A hugely versatile space, this venue has an auditorium, cinemas and a whole range of meeting rooms. Congrats! 
Another Ted Talk, and this week we are taking a dive into the mind of a master procrastinator. Perhaps you are reading this when you are meant to be working? 🤔 (yes, us too. It is Friday, afterall...)

Events

  • Last week we told you about Lucy Chamberlain's impressive 2-hour workshop to help you find your next role. Seeing as it's TODAY (Friday 28th August), we thought it was too good to not mention again. Sign up now.

Training and tech

  • Perhaps the final nail in the audio-typing's coffin is this super exciting Transcribe feature from Microsoft for MS 365. Upload audio files, or record directly within it. Game changer 🎆
     
  • In the Zoom vs Google Hangout vs Teams war (Skype didn't make the cut), Teams have launched these new features for iPhone and Android. 
     
  • C and C Academy have announced an additional date for their workshop on Business Partnering for EAs and PAs. Check their website for the new date which is due to be announced in the next week or so

  • Are you running a training session you would like us to share? Send us the details!
