About the Course
Corporate redesign and information technology puts executive assistants as close to the front lines of decision-making, autonomy and change as the executives they support.
Increasingly there is a blurring of the lines between strategic administrative support and role-related management responsibilities.
Business leaders look for talent inside their organisations as they strive to match their employees’ experience, skills, aptitudes and aspirations to the evolving strategic needs of business.
This course has been designed for executive assistants to hone techniques to better exert their influence, their ability to generate ideas, and exercise their interpersonal skills to work effectively and collaboratively.
To attain the level of true executive/executive assistant partnership and value-added colleague, executive assistants must continue to build on their foundation skills to effectively manage the most mundane task, to the most strategic assignment, from beginning to end, with speed and accuracy.
Executive Assistants will excel in this new world of work because they will drive their own growth.
Who Will Benefit
Senior executive assistants and personal assistants working with key executives, directors and boards and those looking to make the transition into a more senior role with confidence.
