In 2026 the 53rd Annual Administrative Professionals Course is scheduled to be held in Orlando, Nashville, New Orleans, San Francisco, Miami, and Niagara Falls. These will again be outstanding events, with participants attending from all across the United States, Canada and Western Europe. 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. In 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 behavioral style.

You will substantially improve your ability to influence others, manage conflict and resolve team friction using emotionally intelligent approaches. You will also learn how to control yourself better -  your time and reactions to events outside 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!
