Practically Perfect PA

There have been so many times over the years that I have received an email about a fantastic training course or conference that I would love to attend. It really is unheard of in any other profession: so why don’t assistants attend training courses? I’m sure many of you have had a similar experience.

Quite often I am asked which courses I would recommend for assistants that are just starting in the profession and want to undertake some training to increase their skills and help them move up the career ladder. I always say that it is extremely important for assistants to attend training courses throughout the year.

If you commute to work do take time on the train to prepare yourself for the day ahead. Can they get the information themselves or is that you struggle to be assertive with lazy colleagues – can you say ‘no’ more often? It’s worth taking a small amount of your own time so that you know how you want the day to pan out.
