A very happy (if a little belated) new decade to you. Christmas is well and truly behind us, and (in Singapore anyway) we are looking forward to the Chinese New Year celebrations that are around the corner.

I've got a great newsletter for you this month. First of all, I want to share my enthusiasm with you about ASSAP® 2010 — the Asian Summit for Secretaries and Admin Professionals. Our annual conference is always popular and inspiring, and this year we have another fantastic programme lined up for you. Check out my first article here with lots of news about ASSAP.

A new year is always a time to set ourselves new goals, so do check out my second article about Raise your Game 2010. Organised by Asia Professional Speakers-Singapore, 100% of the proceeds will go to Singapore Cancer Society. At S$188 you really can't afford not to attend!

What challenges and goals have you set for yourself in 2010? How will you raise your game? What changes will you make in 2010 to make yourself happier, healthier, more productive, more successful, and to make life more rewarding? Don't leave it until next year - start now!

Here's to your success and a fabulous year head!

Hundreds of people have attended this prestigious annual event over the last 5 years. Take a look at what these participants said about their experience:

Angela Leong, Executive Assistant, DSTA

At ASSAP® 2010 we have once again lined up a superb programme that will help you enhance your versatility, with presentations covering a wide range of topics embracing your evolving role. There are also 3 one-day workshops so that you can choose the ones most relevant for you. This year we have:

Raise your Game 2010!

Raise your Game 2010!

I'm very proud to support a worthy cause and tell you about a fabulous event that has been spear-headed by the APSS (Asia Professional Speakers-Singapore). Raise your Game 2010 is a unique one-day event taking place on 1 March 2010 — with 100% of the proceeds going to Singapore Cancer Society. With top speakers like Ron Kaufman, David Lim, Mike Podolinsky, Christian Chua, Nishant Kasibhatla and William Tan (himself a cancer sufferer),you are sure to be motivated and fired up all day long!

As this is a charity event, everyone involved is doing so out of goodwill — organisers, speakers, volunteers and sponsors. SIM are providing the auditorium, and we want to pack it full. So don't miss what is sure to be an inspiring and unforgettable day. For only S$188 per person, you can't afford not to be there! You'll not only be playing your part to help cancer sufferers, but you will receive all the stimulus you need to really raise your game and increase your success!

NB: I'm one of the speakers too, so I really hope to see you there!
