Event Details

We take a deep dive into the working relationship between Assistants and their Executives. We look at the tactics Assistants must employ to make the relationship with their Executive work.


The relationship must be effective and intentional for the Assistant to thrive in the role and the Executive to drive the organization forward. For Assistants to move into a strategic partnership role, the working relationship with their Executive must be solid, with both sides of the partnership aware of what they need to bring to the table.


The role of the Personal and Executive Assistant has changed so much over the years. It is no longer the case that Assistants complete the tasks given to them by their Executive. Instead, the role is much more reactive, with Assistants taking part in many projects, crafting their roles, and taking on their strategic work.


Nevertheless, the relationship with their Executive is at the heart of the role. The Assistant will always ensure their Executive succeeds, drives the business's vision forward, and achieves its goals and objectives. For Assistants to thrive as strategic partners, the partnership must be reciprocal and dynamic.
