Reynolds Homestead announces Administrative Professional's Day

March 27, 2013

This year features Virginia Tech Vice Provost Amy Hogan as the keynote speaker. We look forward to hosting your administrative professionals this year! Cost is only $25.00 and includes lunch and door prizes. “Crafting Your Professional Image” will be the topic. How often do you stop to think about the fact that someone is ALWAYS watching you? Couple this with the fact that it takes about 8 seconds for someone to form an overall impression of you.

The result? Often people form perceptions and opinions about us and it feels totally beyond our control - but it's not! In this talk, we'll consider how being consistently thoughtful about our behaviors and interactions can more positively impact people's perceptions. Perhaps most importantly, we'll recognize the true ability we each have to actively influence the image we project and perceptions we create on an ongoing basis. Amy Hogan joined the Office of the Provost in May 2012. Her responsibilities include senior administrator searches and reviews, leadership development, and metrics. Amy has taught introductory psychology and sociology courses as an adjunct faculty member at the Central Pennsylvania Business College, is a certified Huthwaite International training facilitator, a certified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator practitioner, a certified Emotional Quotient Inventory practitioner, and is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). Amy holds a Master’s Degree in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Virginia Tech, with minors in Sociology and Music.
