It’s always good to work with new and aspiring PAs but this
week’s London group of ‘PA Apprentices’ has been especially pleasing and bodes
well for the future of the profession. Everyone attending was hungry for
knowledge, tips and best practice and Liz Clayton FAPA DipPA joined the group
to share her experiences and tips to maximise the potential of their respective
bosses. Uniquely APA introduced a short 1-2-1 session for each attendee with
Liz to enable them to share problems.
Pictured (L-R) are: Laura Wainright, Jenni Arnold, Amy Johnson and Deb Kerr were amongst the 12 junior PAs on the course.
Perhaps one of the most powerful tools taught on the
programme is the APA 1-2-3 system for email management and all agreed that it
would allow them to focus on the mail that matters. Amy Johnson AAPA said: “We a
e inundated with unsolicited emails and it takes a lot of time to weed out the
rubbish. Gareth gave us a series of easy to remember tips to reduce the volume
and increase the importance of the ones that matter most. I think the course
will help make my life easier and give me more time to look after my boss.” Jenni Arnold added “It was brilliant, the best
training I have ever had.”
Gareth Osborne said: “This was one of the liveliest groups
ever; full of passion, enthusiasm and a will to get it right for their boss, or
bosses to be. I would employ every one of them!”
