The 4th Annual National EA Leadership Summit Melbourne

Workshop: 16 March 2021 | Conference: 17 March 2021 | Location: Melbourne CBD

The role of an executive assistant is rapidly evolving in our current climate. EAs are now expected to operate as “hybrid multi-takers” within their organisation and are encouraged to take on more responsibilities.

As you move away from a supporting role, how equipped are you to take the next step to become a strategic partner to your executive and organisation?

Following the success of our National EA Leadership roadshow across Asia Pacific in 2020, we are bringing our National EA Leadership Summit to Melbourne from 16-17 March 2021. Now in its 4th year, we have once again brought together high-performing executive assistants from different industries to reveal how they are embracing their newfound responsibilities with confidence. Join us in March to gain practical advice from experienced EAs on how you can step up to the challenge and adapt to working in a dynamic business environment.

You will acquire the proven skills you need to flourish in your role such as:

Evolving from an executive assistant into a strategic partner – how to broaden and deepen your existing skillset to remain relevant? How to align yourself to your organisation’s business strategy?

Developing a winning leadership mentality – how are you growing your influence and using your voice to be an asset to your team?

Building your influence and developing your network – how are you cultivating and building your own brand?

Advancing your career – how to accelerate your progression and shift your EA/PA career?

Register now for the National EA Leadership Summit and learn to navigate your career with confidence, purpose and clarity. Hear from the most successful executive assistants from organisations including Australian Trade & Investment Commission, Westpac Group, Guide Dogs Victoria, AMP New Zealand and more! Be inspired to take the next step in your personal and professional development.
