Executives And Assistants Working In Partnership
Workshop for Executives and Assistants
There is a huge difference between texting more often and communicating with clarity. Knowing your support staff “has your back” while you make yet another business trip is vital to your success. Creating the synergy with your assistant means they can walk your walk, talk your talk, and represent you well. Modern executive and assistant teams regularly assess and fine-tune their processes to harness the power of synergy and develop business connection—meaning that, together, they achieve far more than each would independently. They are partners. This is a full-day workshop for assistants and executives (or managers) to attend as a team.
This program is designed to:
- Improve communications in today’s Mach-speed world.
