Mentoring Feedback
"My time with Tanya amounts to 8 hours in the flesh, 8 hours on the phone and over 18 emails. I have stumbled upon a resource and a new friend with more information than a Google search and better advice than my Mum. As a mentor there is no other choice." Through Elite EA’s I am also studying a Pitman Shorthand Course via Correspondence. Tanya’s continued encouragement with this course has been the key to my success. Recently when improving my CV, not only was Tanya able to pass on her personal experience, she also was able to provide current industry knowledge and put me in touch directly with some of the leading recruiters in Brisbane. I truly feel that the guidance Tanya has provided me with is priceless. I would highly recommend Tanya and Elite EA’s to anyone who feels they need a little assistance to get their professional life back on track… you will never look back!"
Kim Wood "I became the Executive Assistant to the CEO and Office Manager of Equigroup in June of last year. Six months into the role my boss, as part of his KPI (Key Performance Indicator) requirements started looking for a mentor and I decided that I, very much, would like (and needed) one too. Donna Hayward "Being a recent victim of the economic downturn and left pondering about my career path in an extremely competitive market like Tanya responded to my inquiry quickly and from her first phone call, I was instantly rejuvenated and inspired. Having completed a Shorthand Course many years ago, I knew I required a refresher course to assist in giving me the edge over my competitors and finding a suitable course was proving difficult to find. I was surprised to learn I could complete Tanya’s Pitman Shorthand Course via correspondence. Additionally I signed on for the Minuting Meetings & Mentoring Courses, both of which I found full of invaluable information. Tanya has that rare skill to immediately be in tune with her “client” and instinctively know what they require. Tanya has helped me “look outside the square” at my skills and to recognise all that I have to offer. These are difficult times and what Tanya has given me is priceless! I am again feeling positive and confident. I highly recommend Tanya’s unique service to any experienced or inspiring EA. I strongly believe Tanya’s inherent ability to mentor, would be an asset to all levels of office administration and beyond. Elite EA’s is not just a business, it obviously is her passion. Monica Djodan "Tanya, I found your Mentoring Course for Office Professionals very relaxed & easy to participate in, whilst remaining professional too (if that makes sense!) I found you very clear & easy to follow & I appreciated your warm personality. I appreciated you sharing your personal knowledge & history with us - very inspiring. I found the 'people' stuff very useful, especially the tips on dealing with conflict resolution! I appreciated you sending us the templates that make office life more efficient and for following up on everything you said you would.

"Tanya Battel, Principal, Elite EA’s is one of the most inspiring people I know. Her mentoring abilities and guidance have far exceeded my expectations and I only wish I had met her earlier in my career. Tanya has really helped me to realise my professional potential and work towards achieving my goals in a way that I have thoroughly enjoyed.
Executive Assistant - Ernst Young, London, UK
I'm based in Sydney and surprisingly there simply wasn't anyone in town who could give me the personalised service that I so desperately desired. That was until I found Tanya Battel of Elite EA's (based in Brisbane). From from the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew I was in excellent hands. Tanya's welcoming, friendly demure and passion for the job got me straight away, I instantly felt at total ease and this was a sign of a great teacher to me.
The program that Tanya runs is exceptional, from her tips on organising yourself, how to organise your boss (without them noticing too much), to her tips on office politics, office conflicts, how to handle change, work place etiquette and ethics. I feel that what I have learnt from Tanya will not only make me a shine that much brighter as an EA but as a human being too. I would recommend that the topics Work Place Attitudes, Conflict In The Workplace, Workplace Etiquette, Corporate Presentation & Professionalism, Process & Systems and Communication be part of every induction program for every employee across every industry, it's that universally brilliant!
I would like to thank Tanya so very much for sharing some of her wisdom with me."
