Thank you very much. I did value all of the session's absolutely fantastic material. Things I needed to know while I keep looking for an administrative position. I will watch them again.

I can confidently say that PPPA positively changed my career trajectory after hearing a panel discussion on the role of Chief of Staff as a possible next step for an admin. I've since approached our CEO about how we might develop my EA role in this direction, and a few weeks ago, he made it official by discussing a work plan for me to step into this entirely new role for our firm in the coming months. Though it will take a while to work out all of the arrangements, none of it would actually be happening had I not first been exposed to the possibility during a virtual panel of speakers from entirely different countries than my own. That's the power of access to this kind of education and support for admins!! [Due to the very strict regulations of financial service firms and testimonials, I'm unable to share my firm name or work email address, but I assure you that this is all true!]

Such amazing advice, and I don't want to miss a thing. I literally boohooed through the Reclaiming Your Purpose session! It was just what I needed to hear! Thank you for all of the great advice you are sharing with Assistants worldwide!

Your course "had me at Hello!". I had two favourite parts in this course: - "Building your LinkedIn Profile" is absolutely brilliant and I am now working on updating my profile according to what I learnt from Jennifer. - And of course, "Setting yourself up for success in a video interview" is something I had never thought of! Alina made it look so effortless, but it definitely takes some practice, which I intend to use in possible video interviews going forward in my career. I honestly did not realise how preparation is key! "Reflecting on what I want" was quite an eye-opener! After 33 years in this profession it really came as a surprise that I had not thought of this! "The Secrets of a Job Recruiter' was very insightful and has definitely changed the way I now apply for positions! All-in-all, it was time well spent and I am most grateful to you for your kindness in offering this FREE! Thank you very much for your generosity! As soon as I am successful in my job search, I will be sure to let you know!
