In this year of tight budgets, it might seem like a bad time to lobby for a new AMS. Your leadership probably thinks the one you have is good enough, especially with all the other demands on your association’s limited budget. But you know better. You know how the existing AMS, CRM or database limits your association’s potential. You’re painfully aware of how much time is wasted because of its inefficiencies.

Jason King, a board member for the condominium community Trellis Fifth Avenue in San Diego, California, recently took a vacation. While on break in Mexico, three vendor invoices arrived. For all three, he simply clicked “approve” from his smartphone. On the beach. Sound like a cool way to do business? We agree. But there’s more to it. The vendors for this homeowners association (HOA) got paid faster because they didn’t have to wait for Jason to return from vacation.

Administering continuing medical education (CME) is no simple task— from the advanced accreditation reporting to the ongoing evolution of medical best practices, it can be a huge administrative task for your team.

It’s time to retire the phrase “soft skills.” So-called “soft” skills are essential for all professionals, especially those who work remotely. Remote employees can’t succeed without these competencies. In a remote work environment, miscommunication easily arises when someone lacks the skills to understand the tone of a message or ask for necessary clarification.

Imagine running the same race, year after year. As far back as you can remember, every April you lace up your shoes and run a half-marathon. Or a full marathon. Or even a 10k. The distance doesn’t matter. What matters is that you have a pretty good idea of how to prepare for your race. You know what to expect while you’re running. You know you’ll be sore for a few days after your feet leave the pavement.

I remember walking off stage and thinking I had delivered the worst presentation ever, and was surprised to see a fan line just as long as ever. Somehow I forgot a super important story and key learning, so it felt like the audience received 25% less of the good stuff I had to share. Later on, I was talking about this experience with another professional speaker, and he said, “they don’t know what you are going to say, so if you miss a bit, no one knows but you.” This is not ju
