Subject: Re: Can I be a Personal Assistant? Author: Majella Mair [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:48:36 09/05/11 Mon In reply to: Ash 's message, "Can I be a Personal Assistant?" on 09:54:44 03/03/11 Thu Hi, Yes, i have worn your t-shit. Ten years ago i took on a role as a Trainer that involved designing, delivering, evaluating Training to managers with a contract catering industry. The challenges i had was learning how to first write english that others could read as my spelling and grammar was appauling. Next i had to learn the subject and convince others that i was an expert. I did not complete my education back in Ireland as i was unaware that i had any problems. I got tested and learned that i had 3 conditions. Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADD. My shock and emotional state learning this was undescribable. What i have learnt about myself is that i never give up and that is a gift that you get with your condition. My deterimation and passion for what i want is what drives me daily. So what did i do. Well for my writting i learnt how to draft materail by coping other work from reasearching and then i time it started to come naturally. With planning work i had a to list that was in collours. Red was urgent, Purple was project work, Blue was not urget. I then learnt about Organisational Graphics and studdied them to address other areas such as problem solving and drafting material. Can i suggest you get a book of how to cope in the workplace by sylvia moody and david grant as i found this very useful. Next you need to stop giving yourself a hard time and hooking onto the one thing that is different about you to others and seeing it as a handicap. You need to learn about yourself such as what are your strengths what do you struggle with. Then use the give of communication and make friends with the organisation that can support you. Never be afraid to reach out as there is many who will only be to happy to help. I have other suggestions so please conatct me if you wish Good luck Majella [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Download the App, "American Wordspeller & Phonetic Dictionary" Designed by and for dyslexics who want to spell the word by the way it sounds to them. My daughter is 26, didn't make it through high school because of dyslexia. She uses it at work all day everyday and has a wonderful job as a manager of a giant commercial glass company. You will do fine my dear, I promise. Just let your hair down, relax and know that there are 45 million dyslexics out there working and trying to hide their dyslexia too! I travel to dyslexia conferences and to schools all over the country. I receive thousands of hugs from dyslexic adults who have been hiding their dyslexia their entire lives and love the book and App. http://www.dyslexiadictionary.com
