As an administrative professional, much is expected of you today. Good organization, management and people skills are no longer an option -- they are an imperative. At this comprehensive program, you will participate in a significant learning experience with others who share the same responsibilities and face the same challenges.

Today's executive or administrative assistant must be a strategist, a coach, a diplomat and a politician!

At this powerful training event you will discover the strengths and weaknesses of your individual behavioral style. You will substantially improve your ability to influence others, manage conflict and resolve team conflicts using emotionally intelligent approaches. You will also learn how to better control yourself - your time and your reactions to events outside of your control. By developing the new organizational skills, you will get the best results in the least amount of time, juggle priorities and adjust to shifting demands with grace and clarity, thereby increasing harmony and a sense of accomplishment.

In short, you will learn to manage people, resources, and self!

For forty-seven years, P.A. Douglas has set the gold standard for excellence in Administrative and Executive Assistant training. It is where administrative professionals come to learn, network, and engage with leaders in the field. No other seminar or event provides the comprehensive high-quality program that The 48th Annual APC Certification Administrative Professionals Course does.
