What's  in  it  for  Your  Organisations?    

Executive   offices   should   run   seamlessly,   like   a   well-­‐oiled  machine.   Personal-­‐Assistant-­‐Tips  will  work  with  you  to  create  a  programme  that  delivers  what  you  want.  We   aim   to   take   PAs,   EAs,   Admins   and   Team   Secretaries   from   good   to  great  so  that  the  executive's  time  is  freed  up  to  do  what  they  do  best.  If  all  the  PAs   in   your   organisation   go   through   our   mentoring   programme,   your  organisation   has   the   right   to   expect   their   PAs   to   perform   their   duties   well.  Some  of  the  benefits  of  PA  mentoring  are:    

-­‐  increased  productivity  -­‐  better  retention  of  mentored  employees  -­‐  easier  change  management  -­‐  improved  succession  planning  -­‐  increased  job  satisfaction    Organisations   will   benefit   from   the   cutting   edge   service   provided   by   their  mentored   administrative   professionals.   Investing   in   our   PA   mentoring  programme  will  help  you  to  keep  the  people  with  career  potential.    

Benefits  to  the  Mentee    

-­‐  increased  confidence  -­‐  improved  productivity  -­‐  better  focus  on  continued  professional  development  -­‐  improvements  in  know-­‐how  and  technical  skills  -­‐  behavioural  improvements  -­‐  improved  networking    Personal-­‐Assistant-­‐Tips   PA   mentoring   leads   to   increased   productivity   and  improved   working   relationships.   Through   the   advice   of   a   trusted   advisor,  Personal  Assistants,  Executive  Assistants,  Team  Secretaries  and  Administrators  have  an  opportunity  to  learn  how  to  stay  on  top  of  their  game  and  set  effective  career  goals  that  benefit  themselves  and  their  organisation.    

PA  Mentoring  vs  PA  Training    

PA   mentoring   provides   an   environment   where   EAs   and   PAs   can   engage   an  expert   through   a   time-­‐intensive   PA   mentoring   programme   that   focuses   on  areas  requiring  development.  In  contrast  to  training,  EA/PA  mentoring  enables  PAs  to  engage  an  advisor  concerning  specific  challenges  with  their  workflow  or  working  partnerships,  and  spend  time  perfecting  their  personal  brand.    People  often   seek   a   mentor   at   particular   milestones   in   their   career,   such   as   a  promotion.   Our   mentoring   programmes   are   conducted   face-­‐to-­‐face,   via  telephone   and   via   email.   However,   mentoring   conducted   exclusive   by  telephone  and  email  works  just  as  well.

About  Our  Consultant  EA  Mentor  Our   Consultant   PA   Mentor   is   Marguerita   King   BSc   DipPA.   She   is   the  founder   and   Managing   Director   of   Personal-­‐Assistant-­‐Tips,   a   speaker,  and  a  former  Executive  PA  with  over  25  years'  experience.    She  has  been  described  as  “A  PA  guru”  and  “The  Wikipedia  of  the  PA  profession”.  

 

As  a  Consultant  PA  Mentor,   I  have  worked  with  PAs  at  the  top  of  their  profession,  as  well  as  those  who  are  just  starting  out.  I  have  trained  and  mentored  PAs  and  have  written  hundreds  of  articles  on  the  PA  role  for  our   Personal-­‐Assistant-­‐Tips   website,   for   newsletters   and   for  publications.   It   is   clear   that   the   challenges   PAs   face   are   always   the  same:   how   to   increase   productivity,   how   to   prioritise   effectively,   and  how  to  develop  a  professional  brand.    

When  I  started  my  career  as  a  junior  secretary,  it  was  easy  to  work  my  way   up   to   senior   PA   roles.   I   deviated   from   the   PA   profession   on   a  couple  of  occasions  after  completing  a  BSc  in  psychology.  Today’s  PA  is  well  advised  to  aim  for  good  academic  qualifications;  particularly  as  PAs  and   EAs   are   now  expected   to   be   strategic   partners   to   their   principals  and  assume  more  middle-­‐management  tasks.    

As   a   former  Executive   PA   I  am  very  aware   that  bosses   sometimes  ask  their  PA  to  undertake  tasks  and  projects  that  are  outside  their  PA  skill-­‐set.  This  led  me  to  create  a  website  specifically  for  PAs  and  EAs,  which  I  named   Personal-­‐Assistant-­‐Tips.com.   The   website   provides   a   one-­‐stop  information  hub  with  over  150  articles  for  the  PA  professional.    This  led  me  to  create  Personal-­‐Assistant-­‐Tips  in  2009.    

I  have  written  and  developed  PA   training  courses  at   intermediate  and  advanced   level,   including   the   Advanced   Executive   PA   Masterclass,  which  has  been  delivered  in  Europe,   the  middle  East,  the  Far  East  and  Africa.“    

“The  road  to  success  is  always  under  construction.”  

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"A   pleasure   to   be   associated   with   a  consummate   professional   of   great   caliber!  She  came  up  with  constructive  ideas  on  how  to  be  more  efficient   in  my  role  as  EA   to   the  CEO.  I  found  her  to  be  extremely  helpful  and  patient;   giving   so   generously   her   time   to  offer   advice   and   support.   Using   her   PA  website   was   a   tremendous   resource   in  further   developing   and   honing   my   skills.  Highly   recommend   her   as   an   effective  Consultant  PA  Mentor."  

Heather,  EA,  Federation  CJA,  Montreal        

 “Marguerita   is   a   very   sincere   and   a  confident   mentor.   She   helps   you   to   get   to  your  goal  by  making  them  more  specific  and  channelling  your  thoughts  to  achieving  those  goals.   I   am   more   confident   and   I   have   an  effective   job  strategy,  and  a  formula  to  take  charge  of  my  career  as  a  result  of  the  session  with  her..."  

Ayo,  PA,  London      

“Marguerita's   skillful   approach   of   the  particular  topics   I   lack   in  administration  and  organization   grew   me   overnight   thus   being  able  to  face  my  new  challenge  in  the  utmost  professional  manner.    

Diana,  EA,  Geneva          

"We  covered  an  enormous  amount  of  ground  in  each  call,  and  the  follow  up  emails  clearly  covered   the   points   we’d   discussed   and   set  out   actions.   Marguerita   is   an   absolute  professional.   When   we   spoke   she   was  familiar   with   all   the  career  and   personal  information   I’d   supplied.   She   is   a   good  listener,   astute   and   intuitive.   I   had   not  imagined  I  could  gain  so  much  from  this  sort  of   mentoring   (distance   rather   than   face   to  face)  but  my  work  with  Marguerita  has  been  really   helpful.   She   is   supportive   and  genuinely  enthusiastic   about  her   clients  and  her   work.   I   feel   I   made   headway   on   all   the  points  I  brought  to  the  sessions,  and  I  have  a  clearer   sense   of   my   next-­‐steps   both  professionally  and  personally."      

PA  to  Managing  Director,  London  

MARGUERITA’S  COMMENTS    

“I  am  passionate  about  increasing  PA  know-­‐how.  I  currently  live  in  London,  England  where  I  grew  up.  I  remember  the  days  when  girls  aspired  to  be  secretaries  and  the  skills  that  really  mattered  were  typing  speed,  accuracy  and  tabulation.  Much  has  changed  in  the  PA  profession  since  then.  And  PAs  are  constantly  challenged  to  add  value  to  their  business  partnerships.
