Agenda

*Session repeats at 1:30 PM on Monday, September 14.

Today’s administrative professionals are no longer defined by task execution—they are connectors, communicators, and strategic partners who influence the success of leaders and organizations. This dynamic masterclass teaches a practical framework for shifting from reactive support to proactive leadership through social capital, strategic communication, and operational insight. Drawing on real-world experience from both sides of the EA/Executive partnership, you’ll learn how to elevate your role, strengthen relationships across the organization, and confidently operate at a higher level of impact. Through guided reflection, real-life scenarios, and small-group exercises, you’ll practice strategic communication techniques, map your current work against strategic opportunities, and create a 30-day partnership plan you can implement immediately. The strategies taught are actionable, accessible, and immediately applicable for assistants at every level.

Key Takeaways:

• Build social capital to strengthen trust, alignment, and collaboration across teams
• Anticipate executive needs and proactively solve problems before they surface
• Communicate with influence, using clear expectations, strategic questions, and framing
• Shift from task execution to strategic contribution using a simple, repeatable decision-making model
• Position yourself as an indispensable partner who elevates leadership and organizational performance

Who Should Attend: Experienced administrative professionals who are ready to move beyond task execution and step into strategic partnership. Ideal for those who support leaders who move fast and carry significant responsibility, and who are seeking to strengthen their influence, build cross-functional relationships, and increase their organizational impact in real-world executive support environments.
