The role of the modern Assistant has changed dramatically over the last 30 years and technology has played a significant role in this metamorphosis. Far from making the Assistant obsolete as many people imagined, it has made us more indispensable than ever. Assistants are critical in managing the large volume of electronic data and information being passed to management on a daily basis. This requires a number of specific skills to be dealt with effectively.
Time has become the ultimate luxury in the modern world, as Assistants we can add great value by maximising our Manager’s time by efficient scheduling, taking on routine tasks and managing their teams and workflow as and when required. The PA position has changed from a “support” role to a fully-fledged business partner that is respected as part of the management team.
With a highly visible role in the organisation, you need to be aware of your personal brand and how this impacts not only your earning potential, but the way you and your boss are perceived. By the end of this course, you will have assessed your current brand health and found concrete ways of taking it to new heights, for the benefit of your own career as well as your organisation.
