Deep-Dive Full-Day Seminar - The Strategic Admin: From Task Support to Strategic Partnership
Cost $100
I am running a one-day deep dive into becoming a strategic partner with your executive.
Today’s most valuable administrative professionals do more than complete tasks—they understand the business, anticipate what’s coming, and help leaders achieve better outcomes. This six-hour seminar explores the skills and behaviors that transform administrative support into strategic partnership. Participants will learn to connect their work to organizational priorities, think several steps ahead, identify opportunities and risks, communicate with greater business acumen, and become trusted partners in decision-making.
Participants will:
- Leverage AI as a strategic thinking partner to analyze information, anticipate needs and risks, explore options, prepare recommendations, and support better decision-making.
- Differentiate tactical, proactive, and strategic work and identify opportunities to increase the strategic component of their current role.
- Connect everyday administrative responsibilities to larger business goals and understand how their work contributes to organizational success.
- Strengthen business acumen by identifying the priorities, stakeholders, metrics, challenges, and external factors affecting their organization and executive.
- Apply strategic-thinking techniques to recognize patterns, anticipate needs, identify potential problems, and consider downstream consequences.
- Move from problem identification to solution recommendation by analyzing options, tradeoffs, risks, and potential outcomes.
- Prioritize strategically by evaluating work based on organizational impact rather than urgency alone.
- Communicate with executives in a more strategic manner by presenting concise updates, thoughtful questions, options, and recommendations.
- Increase influence without formal authority through credibility, relationships, judgment, and an understanding of stakeholder priorities.
- Identify opportunities to become a trusted advisor while understanding the judgment, discretion, and boundaries that strategic partnership requires.
- Create a Strategic Admin Action Plan identifying specific ways to increase their contribution and visibility after the seminar.
- and so much more!
