“I took the online course 'The Role of the Executive Assistant' during 2021; I found it very useful mainly in terms of looking at my existing strengths and weaknesses and identifying areas for development and change. The course also helped me to look at my role supporting a CEO within the Education sector and enabled me to think about partnership working, relationship building and how I can provide additional support to those I work for. The course enabled me to focus on my own development and made me realise that I have more strengths than I had originally thought which was an added bonus!

Rosemary was very good at suggesting new/alternative ways to approach things, and had many ideas for further development to pass on, all of which have proved valuable." Jane,  GG Learning Trust

“I really enjoyed the course “The Role of the Executive Assistant”, I found it to be informative, reflective, with lots of hints and tips to take away to incorporate into the day job. It was helpful to take a step back and focus on my own personal journey and development to. I found the follow up 1:1 session with Rosemary affirming. I would really recommend this course to other PA’s/EA’s who want to further develop both their careers and themselves.”
