Here's what I Do
Just like my approach to public speaking, my Executive Assistant training is highly interactive, user-focused, and rooted in first-hand, real-world experience. Whether in-person or online, every session is designed to be engaging, relevant, and immediately applicable to the challenges management support professionals face today.
Engaging sessions
Executive Assistant training should be more than just a series of slides and lectures. It should be interactive, relevant, and tailored to real-world challenges. That’s the approach I bring to every EA training session.
Like my public speaking, my training is based on user needs. I work closely with participants to understand their challenges and priorities, ensuring that every session is practical, engaging, and immediately useful.
Interactive learning
Rather than delivering generic, one-size-fits-all content, my Executive Assistant training draws on real-life scenarios, case studies and hands-on exercises to create an interactive learning experience.
Whether it’s navigating workplace change, leveraging AI effectively, or developing critical thinking skills, my training equips management support professionals with the tools and confidence to thrive.
How I train
My methodology is rooted in active learning. I work with you to ensure real understanding and practical application. My sessions include:
Scenario-based learning – Tackling real workplace challenges and case studies.
Interactive exercises – Group discussions, role plays, and problem-solving activities.
Live demonstrations – Showing tools and techniques in action.
Peer learning – Encouraging knowledge-sharing among participants.
Practical takeaways – Tools, templates, and strategies that can be implemented immediately.
