A one day masterclass – places limited!

Date: 11th September 2015

VERY POPULAR COURSE!  This powerful one day MasterClass will teach you practical hands-on ideas that will help you become even more productive, more valuable and offer you more satisfaction in your role.

Many people in the role of personal assistant (PA) or senior personal secretary find themselves managing a larger range of issues and in less time.

Failure to meet deadlines, manage priorities or head off likely challenges is not a luxury any company or organisation can afford.

Equally, in these fast paced times, experience gained through mistakes and misjudgments are no longer an option – so to be the best, and be counted as an exceptional PA, requires training. There is a growing need and recognition that PA’s need to cultivate a productive working relationship with their manager, using strategies for prioritising tasks that enable PA’s to increase their manager’s productivity. Also, the benefits to the organisation or company of having an exceptional assistant are directly attuned to the productivity and development of their performance.

Our new and powerful one day MasterClass will teach you practical hands on ideas that will help you become even more productive, more valuable and offer you more satisfaction in your role. You will leave our training facilities feeling more confident about your abilities and judgement, and in particular you will come away with;

  • New ideas on how to prioritise better
  • Be better able to manage your time and resources
  • Learn how to get more control over your workday, every day
  • Our Top 5 tips to help you get through a sea of emails, deadlines and request
  • How to stay calm and in control, even under the most stressful conditions
  • Techniques for dealing with multiple bosses
  • How to effectively organise your workflow
  • Event management techniques
  • Diary and email management strategies
  • Develop your communication and information management skills

This training course is vital for those involved in working with management in a senior secretarial level / PA, acting PA’s, executive assistants, senior administrators and office managers.

On completion you will receive your CMG MasterClass Certificate as well as your CPD Certificate containing 5 Structured CPD Points.
