EAs of Tomorrow:
Owning the Inside Seat
The Executive Assistant role is evolving fast — from operational support to strategic partner. Join us for a live conversation exploring how influence, trust, adaptability, and EQ are redefining what it means to sit at the centre of leadership.
THURSDAY, 19 JUNE 2025 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM NZST | ONLINE VIA ZOOM

Emotional intelligence
Reading the room, navigating dynamics, and turning EQ into a leadership advantage.
Adaptability quotient
Thriving through change — and helping your organisation move through it too.
