Here are the themes of the day :
1._**DEVELOPING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP: ENSURING MUTUAL SUCCESS BY MANAGING UP
Today's executive assistants are called upon to drastically improve the productivity of an executive and of the organization as a whole. Learning how to manage one’s manager is key to anticipating needs and establishing open lines of communication. When executive assistants assert themselves as reliable business partners, leaders have an opportunity to delegate additional responsibilities and drive the business forward at a faster pace. In this high-level session, participants will learn how best to manage their executives and the core skills necessary in order to cement a solid business partnership with an executive and their team.
2.EARNING A SEAT AT THE TABLE: SHARPENING YOUR CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Successful leaders are critical thinkers possessing the ability to step outside their biases in order to see problems or situations from a new or different angle. Today’s executive assistants are called to lead, think, and act strategically and by educating themselves about the business, EAs can become key stakeholders within an organization. In this high-level session, participants will uncover critical thinking strategies to create a personalized problem-solving method for whatever task is at hand.
3.SHOW ME THE MONEY: KNOWING YOUR WORTH & GETTING REWARDED FOR EXCELLENCE
Executive assistants can find themselves frustrated with metric-driven performance evaluations, outdated job descriptions, and salary caps. Often, the exhaustive work completed behind the scenes by EAs cannot be measured by the traditional metric-driven evaluation, and EAs are underpaid as a result. Evaluating your worth and confidently communicating your value to management are vital skills for EAs in today’s fast-paced business environment. In his high-level session, participants will learn how to negotiate for a raise as well as negotiate for a higher starting salary in your new job.
4.NEW INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES & THE FUTURE OF OUR PROFESSION
Having spent over 10 years in Silicon Valley, and having worked for some of the hottest tech companies in the world, Al-Husein shares his insights on where our profession is headed and why. After reviewing the past 10 years of technological innovations, he imparts what is absolutely crucial for every Executive Assistant to understand about Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Autonomous Vehicles, Cloud Computing, and the Internet of Things--and how these technologies will impact the future of the administrative profession.
