It is imperative to be proactive about self-promotion in order to showcase your skills, achievements and personal brand. Highlight WIFM (what’s in it for me) and help them to see that you will gain skills and knowledge that will be essential for future growth. The role has changed and so must we.

When Nicky approached me to speak about my top tips for beginners at The Assist Conference I was truly honored. Despite my passion for social media I haven’t always been adept at it and was a twitter virgin until The Assist Conference 2015. You can get free headshots at PA/EA conferences such as Office Show.

Conferences, training and networking events can be equally as daunting especially when you are attending on your own and have to join in group activities and network with strangers.As I’ve said in the past training, networking and meeting suppliers should be an integral part of our career. Well you have to learn something!

I attended the Assist Conference earlier this year. A lot of Job Specs tend to focus on a standard set of skills rather than the actual responsibilities. It is imperative to be proactive about self-promotion in order to showcase your skills, achievements and personal brand. The role has changed and so must we.

There were many free training sessions for assistants to attend and the exhibitors were all relevant suppliers to the industry which again is not always the case with these types of events! Many companies do not pay for their assistants to receive training and they don’t encourage assistants to keep their skills up to date.

Cressida recently spoke at the Assist Conference. I also loved Flipnosis by Kevin Dutton, and Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely: both fascinating, compelling studies into principles of persuasiveness, which is of course an essential skill in our line of work. She was full of useful tips and very charismatic on stage.

When I started looking at the programme I thought to myself, I really want to put a conference together that truly inspires and empowers assistants. This is a big dream, but I hope the programme reflects my objectives for the conference. The conference is taking place at the very cool Proud Camden on the 8th and 9th February 2018.

The suppliers at the exhibition are tailored for assistants, the seminars are run by some of the most prestigious training companies and as always there are a lot of free goodies! Obviously we don’t do the same job but quite often we have similar skills and throughout my career I’ve used my skills to organised and run events.
