"Best development decision I made"
I have had the pleasure of doing 2 courses with Your Excellency, and they really are truly exceptional! The Mini MBA programme with Malcolm has been a key contributor to my progression as an EA, providing me with the confidence and expertise to develop myself and my role further in the right areas within the business. The Finance masterclass with Josh was invaluable to my growth in financial literacy and understanding. The confidence I gained from class was phenomenal. Both Malcolm and Josh were professional, friendly and empowering.. their knowledge is second to none. My biggest takeaway from working with Your Excellency is that they truly understand the role, the expectations and the necessary skills required for the EA/PA role, and how this can be transformative for development. This is really difficult to come by within any industry, and these guys have it nailed!

"One of the Best Programmes for EA's"
I'm incredibly grateful to have been part of one of the pioneering Mini MBA cohorts with Your Excellency – it's undoubtedly been the most rewarding decision I've made. The intimate class sizes were a true blessing, allowing the exceptional trainers, Malcolm and Lindsay, to offer personalized guidance that was simply invaluable. I can't express enough how much I cherished the knowledge exchange among participants; it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with and learn from fellow professionals in our field from across the globe. The stories shared and experiences discussed were truly priceless. This outstanding Mini MBA program has been instrumental in broadening my horizons, equipping me with the confidence and expertise to explore new avenues within my organization. I'm sincerely thankful for this transformative experience and the doors it has opened for my professional growth

"The Essential PA Programme"
The Essential PA Programme is an excellent choice for newcomers or those seeking to enhance their PA/EA abilities. The Principles of Persuasion & Influencing module was particularly enlightening, offering a deep dive into various techniques tailored to individual personalities for optimal results. Also the Project Management module was a highlight, granting comprehensive insights into the critical elements to monitor throughout a project's life-cycle.
Tracy Hodgson
"So friendly and relaxed"
It was extremely daunting for me to attend a course like this as I was the only Non PA in the group, but everyone welcomed me and made me feel at ease straight away. Friendly, understanding and very inquisitive about my current role. Lindsey and her family were very professional but also became friends, the style of teaching was more a conversation than learning. It's said, you learn more when having fun. Since passing the course, and placing this on my CV, I have been headhunted and now I am a fully fledged Executive Assistant. Thank you so much.
Eleanor
"The Essential PA Programme"
I would recommend the Essential PA Programme to those who are just starting out or those who would like to refine their skills as a PA/EA. It was really interesting learning how to self-reflect and create meaningful goals within the self-development module. Additionally, I feel as though the introduction to project management was really useful in recognising how the life-cycle of a project works, as well as getting to use some of the tools project managers tend to use. I would also highly recommend joining the Lunch and Learn sessions that are offered for some extra learning points which help consolidate some of the learning that happens in the courses offered. I would be really interested to see if there is a session dedicated to any tips and tricks that could be offered in terms of efficient minute-taking, as I think that would be really useful.Lindsey and her family were very professional but also became friends, the style of teaching was more a conversation than learning.

"SMARTER goals workshop"
I had the pleasure of taking part in Lindsay's SMARTER Goal Setting Workshop as part of the West Midlands PA Forum Learning & Development Conference. Lindsay was both informative and engaging. She created a dynamic and safe space for people to contribute and discuss their ideas and my colleagues and I thoroughly enjoyed the session. I have passed on the information learnt during the workshop to my team so they can also use this as part of their objective setting.
Linda Leggett
"Smarter Goal Setting - PA Forum L&D Conference"
I recently attended the PA Forum L&D Conference and attended Lindsay's session on Smarter Goal Setting and found it to be inspirational! I struggle with goal setting, but the tools shared by Lindsay made it a simple process to set SMART goals. I also join Lindsay's Lunch & Learn sessions and find I leave with hints & tips that I can implement straight away. I find Lindsay's style to be very empowering and supportive, I always feel motivated!
Nicola
"Fantastic course - everything I needed"
I am so glad I chose Your excellency for this course as it gave me exactly what I needed. Josh delivered the Finance Skills Masterclass so well and very engagingly, I feel like I have learnt a lot and am now going to be more confident to support my executives with financial decisions. I would highly recommend this course and Your Excellency as a company. They were brilliant in the run up to the course, asking what I needed out of the day and delivered exactly that. Impressive.
Cécile QUETU
"The Mini MBA On Demand"
I have completed the Mini MBA On Demand as a non-native speaker - I am French - this programme really exceeds my expectations in terms of content and teaching technique. You have managed to make it accessible even when the subject matter or vocabulary seems complicated or tricky! Thank you for providing such a fantastic programme for EAs/PAs and helping us to level up.
