Improve your working relationships

If you want to enhance your relationship with your executive then you need to understand the basics of the PA-boss dynamic and learn what the non-negotiables are, as well as how to introduce these into your environment – even to a line manager who doesn’t like structure or routine.

So says PA trainer practitioner Adam Fidler and in his seminar at the next PA Life Training Day he will talk you through how you can achieve this. Plus, he’ll be discussing why face-to-face communication is key, how to say “no” appropriately and looking at transactional analysis and what it means for management assistants.

Adam has worked as a board level PA, is a secretarial tutor and runs the best-selling course, From good to outstanding in both London and South Africa; he is also a regular speaker at events for management assistants.

The Training Day takes place on Monday, 15 June at the ILEC Conference Centre at the Ibis London Earls Court and features 12 compelling courses, each individually tailored for the PA community. Delegates can choose to come for the full day for £249, or for just a half day at £125.

The full-day option includes a networking lunch where attendees get the chance to mingle and chat with administrative professionals from a whole range of different backgrounds.

There are discounted rates available for those who have previously attended a PA Life Training Day and also for those who are members of the PA Life Club.
