Lunch and Learn with Lindsay – Issue 150 : Awards and Recognition

I know we’ve got lots of new readers joining us for this Issue, so if that’s you – welcome!

And, if you want to catch up on all manner of learning that I’ve shared since starting these messages back in 2020, you can read previous Issues on our blog page here

I posted a Poll on LinkedIn last week to coincide with “Wear a Hat Day”, recognising that you wear lots of these in your role and asking which hat you wear the most. 

The results are in with

43% Diary Management Hat

35% Strategic Thinking Hat

15% Event Management Hat and

7% citing these well-worn Hats: 
Supportive Hat
Putting out Fires Hat
Diplomatic Hat


One of the “hats” that I love to wear to advocate this profession is my “Judges Hat”.  Wearing this hat,  I get to work with other industry experts, to meet with talented professionals across the country and to attend awards evenings (gladrags on and champagne ready!) where the atmosphere is always super-charged and positive.  

I thought it would be useful to share my perspective on what makes a stand out winner when I’m judging (and I know this insight is going to be useful for our readers who are nominated for awards too!).  Click here to read my latest blog post.

And finally…drum roll please…we received some Very Exciting News at the end of last week from The Office Management Group that I want to share with you and to ask for your assistance.

Your Excellency are finalists for The Office Management Award “Service Provider of the Year” category. 

The winner is decided on public vote which is where you lovely readers come in (please!). 

If you enjoy these “food for thought” messages, you’ve experienced our training or you’re a current learner or Graduate, please click the link here to cast your vote for us. 

We would so love to be able to add “Award Winning Training” to our accolades so thank you! We’ll keep you posted!
