Really enjoyed the various topics.
The topics were not the same but overlapped and all pertained to the work of an admin.

ES Global 2024 was an fantastic event, showcasing a wide variety of speakers, on a variety of relevant career topics for Administrative Professionals. The logistics of attending this online event, were wonderfully executed, easy to follow, and highly engaging. I would absolutely recommend this to any Administrative Professional seeking a unique L&D opportunity.

I enjoyed the presentations and speakers. I am looking forward to watching the second day's presentations...I'm in the U.S. so will watch those as recordings.
I am new to the administrative role—my first career was in marketing and public relations, my second career was as a full-time Mom, and now admin is my third career. I would love to see some very practical presentations for those who are brand new to the field: tech tips (like EA How To on Youtube), what not to do as an admin., gatekeeping, building trust, etc.

Excellent event! I was able to take something away from each speaker and I truly appreciate the fact that I can now watch the sessions I missed because of my time zone. Executive Support Media excels at putting together the best sessions for anyone, anywhere - love that!

Inspirerend, eye-openers, goede docente

The training was super interesting and Lucy is a great and inspiring speaker.

In my opinion it was a good mix of listening/theoretical parts and interactive sessions/workgroup sessions in small teams.
In particular, I found the second day had very useful (practical) tips for our daily business as assistants. I think it would be good to have even more practical tips on calendar management, administrative tasks etc. and instead shorten a bit the “theoretical” part.

But in the end it was a really good training and I am happy that I participated.

I really enjoyed the training and Lucy. The first day was very theoretical and basic, and I didn't see much about the modern age and how we can get a vision of how to deal with change in the future. The second day had those parts. I would have liked more time on new ideas and utilizing the upcoming changes and less time on the project management group work (I understood why) and the balance part, which I was very interested in.
All in all, I enjoyed the training and it inspired me on things I need and want to improve, and I would have liked more vision and ideas on how our work will change and how we can deal with the changes. In my opinion, the training would be more suitable for less experienced assistants who can take a lot from this training. I hope that I will get the chance to take part in another training course with Lucy.

We had the pleasure to spend 2 days with Lucy, I have been following her on social media for approximately 8 years, so this was quite the gift. Lucy is passionate about leading and progressing the executive support role by providing tools and perspective which I found invaluable in my 30+ years as an EA. AI will not replace us, which I have always believed, however she re-instilled in my co-hort where our true value lies as EA's.

I really enjoyed Lucy's presentation. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend all of the sessions during her visit, however the one that I was able to join, was very informative and engaging. Lucy has a wealth of knowledge and it was a pleasure to learn from her. I look forward to reading her book soon!

As a seasoned EA, I've been to lots of different training sessions and this was by far the best. Lots of thought-provoking information during our sessions that made me eager to read Lucy's book. Really helped me to understand myself and my strengths in a better way.
Thanks Lucy!

I learned more in the 2 sessions than I had ever before in a PD course.

Lucy is an amazing presenter / speaker. She has extensive knowledge of the EA profession and the EA/Executive relationship and how to build a stronger partnership.

Our EA team spent approximately 6 hours with Lucy over two days, and what I learned from her is priceless. Because of her sessions, I believe that I will become a more strategic focused EA.

Good selection of speakers, with relevant stories of how they have got to where they are, what skills they learned and what makes things work in business and inspiring me to do my best and be part of the big picture.

Lucy is inspirational. She is supported by an amazing team at the background who had arranged great food and a beautiful venue for the MDA course attendees. I met some wonderful, like-minded friends during the course and walked away feeling more empowered than ever. We are a team!

What an amazing opportunity to sit in the same room with a global group of like-minded administrators and learn from a cohort of global trainers. What more could someone with a thirst for knowledge ask for?

I enrolled in the course with a clear purpose: to acquire knowledge and skills that would empower me to revolutionize my executive support. My goal was to enhance my abilities, add substantial value, and optimize my executive’s time for strategic priorities. Lucy Brazier, our course instructor, masterfully delivered content that laid the groundwork for learning. She skillfully navigated real-life scenarios, offering profound insights on how to elevate our roles as top-notch assistants. This experience not only enriched my skills as an assistant but also positioned me as a valuable member of the Association of Administration Professionals’ management committee.

The course agenda was meticulously crafted, actionable, and easily digestible. As a cohesive group, we shared experiences, exchanged knowledge, and empathized with each other’s challenges. Our diverse perspectives fueled dynamic discussions on problem-solving approaches. Armed with tangible ideas from the course, I returned with a strategic plan to enhance our Association’s value proposition. The management committee, where I volunteer, is now actively implementing some of these ideas.

My heartfelt gratitude to the Executive Support team for orchestrating this exceptional educational journey.

Inspiring speakers and a great way to meet fellow EAs with the same passion. Was expecting a bigger crowd, more hands on, and the goodie bag that was advertised as part of the ticket! However I do understand the organisers would have a huge cost to travel over etc. Maybe reach out to big organisations, local councils etc. to help promote the event and boost numbers.

As always very informative.
The conference was brilliant as usual.
Could not fault the food or location.
I did feel the benefits of the audience being a smaller group.
The speakers were all great (noting the comment above).
I always get so much from these, very inspirational and always so great to catch up with people you know and the new friends you make.

The course content is exceptional compared to the conventional courses which mainly focus on minute-taking, diary management, or business writing. Here're what we discussed and learned from the course:
❇️ Build a powerful business #partnership
❇️ Master the art of managing multiple executives
❇️ The power of assistant #network
❇️ Enhance #communication skills, adapting to different personality types
❇️ Processes for problem-solving, decision-making, and #project management
❇️ Deal with multitasking, #stress, and overwhelm
❇️ Find and do the things that make our earts sing

💥 This course is truly thought-provoking, intriguing, insightful, and full of practical tips and tactics from a zealous world’s leading authorities on the administrative profession and executive support profession. Lucy Brazier’s expertise shone through in every module, providing empirical strategies that I could immediately apply to my work. As the course was provided in a small group, the learning experience was significantly upgraded when we did not only learn from Lucy, but also from each other.

💡 One of the most impactful takeaways was the emphasis on the assistant’s role in driving organizational change. The course underscored the importance of being proactive, adaptive, and aligned with the strategic vision of the business. Be the change we want to have!

💗 I highly recommend this course to any assistant looking to elevate their role and become a pivotal part of their executive team’s success.
