We were thrilled to see our students at our annual Learning and Collaboration Day last Friday, at the home of the football premier league champions, the Etihad Stadium! With a packed agenda including: the rise of the Business Support Manager (never Business Partner - a term we don’t advocate here!);job evaluation; a case study of restructuring PAs and EAs in one large corporate firm; an EA’s journey from Filing Clerk to Chairman’s EA; and, the language of influence for EAs, our students certainly took home a lot of knowledge. Couple that with a two-course meal with wine, a tour of the stadium and a dessert to die for… what else would any EA want at their away-day? Thank you to all those who traveled from far and wide to attend, and to the Etihad Stadium for their hospitality in the Chairman’s Club. Here’s to next year’s event - yes, we’ll be back at the Etihad!
