Today's PA

Today's PA - Workshop Overview

From the top

However you became a PA - and it's surprising just how many PAs tell us it happened to them almost by accident - your position is unusual in many ways. No other role in business places so much reliance on the absolute capability of one person to provide unwavering and comprehensive support to a senior executive

Working in the shadow of someone important and busy, it's difficult to avoid your own needs and aspirations being overlooked - by you and others. Today's PA workshop brings you out of the shadows and into the light as you become aware of the critical part you play in your organisation's success and how you can give your career a boost as well.

We give you the knowledge and tools to ensure you become the indispensable aide and business associate your manager needs - so much more than a secretary. We also make sure you begin to appreciate your real wort - not just to your manager and yourself, but to the whole organisation - and arm you with the confidence and assertiveness necessary to be not just good at your job, but brilliant.

The rewards for this fresh, new approach to your role and enhanced outlook on your career and life it delivers will quickly become apparent in the weeks and months following the course.

Today's PA - Testimonials

"Regardless of whether you're an experienced PA wanting to learn a few new tricks or you're looking to get your first PA role, I would highly recommend the indiquo 'Today's PA' training course. It is full of practical tips and advice as well as assertiveness exercises and is a great confidence booster. I came away with the belief that I should be earning more money and, more importantly, the confidence to ask my boss to pay me more money; a conversation that I'm pleased to report went very well indeed!"
Jharda Walker - Waggener Edstrom

"The trainer was brilliant, fun and relaxed. The course was just what I had been searching for and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will miss it. It's a shame it's not Monday tomorrow as I can't wait to put it all into practise."
