Description

ITrainingExpert would like to extend an invitation to all Administrative Professionals and Executive Secretaries to join our "Administrative Professionals Conference".
We hold this conference in recognition of the talented administrative personnel and executive assistants who are, for all intents and purposes, "the boss when the boss isn't around".
They are entrusted to micro-manage the day to day operations and tasks of the company's top leadership and supervise the functions of their office in the event of their absence. One can run an office without the presence of a boss, but not without their assistants. 
The jobscope of secretaries, executive assistants and other administrative professionals require proficiency in a variety of skills. From communication, interpersonal relations, time management and stress management. All essential tools that give them huge leadership potential.
In this conference, delegates will get the opportunity to further enhance these unique skill sets and get started on building a network of like-minded "Executive Assistants".
  • Increased proficiency in communication, office management, and using AI tools
  • Improved technical skills, particularly with Excel and office software
  • Enhanced personal branding and professional presence
  • Effective time management and productivity strategies for better work-life balance
  • Practical conflict resolution techniques and stress management tips

This comprehensive 2-day conference is designed to cater to administrators, secretaries, and office managers seeking to enhance their skills, boost productivity, and thrive in the modern office environment.

  • Secretaries
  • Executive Assistants
  • Office Administrators/Managers
  • Public Relations personnel
