This Issue contains a big THANK YOU from me and the Your Excellency team.
We asked for your feedback on our EA/PA survey and so many of you provided it. Thank you very much!
Our feedback survey is now closed. Congratulations to the prize winners who we’ve contacted via direct email. Seven copies of “A-Z Pearls of Wisdom for Executive PAs” and three £25 Amazon Vouchers are winging their way across the world.
We are now busy collating all the information you have provided us with. I thought you’d be interested in some insights, particularly around the challenges you face when you’re looking to invest in your learning and development and how we are here to help you overcome these.
➡️We know the top challenge for you is getting employer funding and, if you have to self-fund, having the budget available. We have business case documents available for our Mini MBA and Essential PA Programmes. These can be used to get buy-in from your employer and they highlight the benefits of the learning (to you, to your Executive/employer and your organisation!). Email me direct if you want a copy of these.
➡️If you have to self-fund, we have payment options available to you and we’re integrating these into our booking system for easy access.
➡️We know that many of you feel you don’t have time at the moment to invest in your training. We know how hard it is to take a day out of the office to join a scheduled training session when you’ve got so much going on.
We would encourage a change of thinking – you’re going to be investing your time to save you time. Attending one of our courses or Programmes means you’ll be taking away learning that you can instantly use to increase your effectiveness and efficiency. And, of course, if you want true flexibity with learning, we have our ON DEMAND Programmes with access whenever and wherever you choose.
➡️With regard to new offerings you’d like to see from us, LIVE WEBINARS came out tops. You’ve suggested topics on Time Management. Prioritising your workload, Finance, Project Management, Communication and AI (including Chat GPT). We’re working on a series of Live Webinars NOW.
You can express your interest by clicking here.
You’ll then be “first in the know” when we have all the details ready for launch.
And finally, remember, we pride ourselves on our personable support and true advocacy of this profession. If you want to set up a call with me or one of our Team to discuss your learning and development needs, do let me know!
