     Communication, Negotiation and Influence
     Upward management of your Executive
     System and Self Management

"I thought the course was fantastic - Susie was a great presenter and was happy to answer all the random questions we asked.  This is the first time I've actually enjoyed a course, mainly because it was 100% relevant for my role.  I have definitely taken away a lot of ideas which will help me develop myself, my role and the relationship with my manager."

EXECUTIVE PA PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 

1 or 2 Day In-House training programme for teams of senior management PAs

This specialised Executive PA Development programme is run in-house to meet the needs of your organisation and team of Executive PAs.  It ensures that each delegate develops in their own individual role, but also as a strong team to underpin the operations of the Management Team. It gives PAs the opportunity to focus on the business relationship they have with their Executive, including key ways to develop critical communication and information flows.  Delegates will grow as a team and focus will be directed towards building collaborative relationships, knowledge sharing, system building and mentoring.

 "Susie's guidance and passion has helped us to form an international network of professional PAs with the self-belief and determination required to develop their careers for their own benefit and that of the Company as a whole.

Her presentation style is super enthusiastic and engaging and everyone who attended the recent course she ran for us here at G4S has benefited enormously from the key skills covered during the meeting, and managing a diverse international management team seems far less daunting than before."
