Mentoring & Development Guide for:
Personal & Executive Assistants / Office Administrators
"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."

Mentoring – a trendy word in 2010. Executives have Coaches/Mentors – some could not get through their gruelling professional lifestyles without them, but what about Personal & Executive Assistants and Office Administrators? What services are available to them to seek advice and guidance in order to enhance their own career path as an Office Professional? How do they acquire that special skill set that is required to be an “elite” Assistant? There are many Executive Assistant Conferences and One Day Workshops in today’s world but perhaps your budget, or your Employer’s budget, might only allow for attendance at “one” of these expensive venues. The chances are you will need to take time away from the Workplace – even travel to a different City – this causes major disruption and makes it difficult to actually feel like attending (if you are like most busy Office Professionals in today’s hectic Office environment). Whilst EA / PA Conferences offer excellent networking opportunities, when it comes to focussing on your own personal advancement, you are the one that needs to identify where your weaknesses lie and where there is room for improvement. elite EA’s is the answer!
Elite EA's Mentoring Guide is now available in electronic format. The material contained in the guide is the information Tanya has used in many Workshops over the past two years in addition to presenting some of the Guide's components at Professional Development seminars. It contains sound and practical advice, offers a true insight into the role of Executive Assistant and a down to earth approach to the "Office Environment and its many personalities". The "people / teamwork" component of the guide has proven to be of particular interest to many upcoming Office Professionals and really does assist in working with the many diverse personalities that make-up the personnel structure within any company.
