I am not alone, the problems I face are not exclusively mine, and there are other assistants who are striving to be the beat version of themselves. What more could a gal need?

It's evident that PPPA is written by someone who has been in the same boat as me at varied times in their career - it's real time experience and advice that I really value - PPPA is one of the only publications I take time to read on a regular basis - it's not constantly selling training courses which really turns me off!
