CoachME

CoachME is performance and purpose driven to improve the individual's skill on the job. This involves enhancing current skills and acquiring new skills. Once the coached candidate successfully acquires the skills, the coach is no longer needed. CoachME also provides guidance on how to plan your work days, manage difficult people, or like many of us, need to upgrade on our organisational skills.

MentorME

Mentoring is a long term learning experience with long term results and outcomes, and assists with all aspects of your secretarial role and self-development. MentorME seeks to provide a safe environment where the mentee shares whatever issues affect their professional and personal successes. Although specific learning goals or competencies may be used as a basis for creating the relationship, its focus goes beyond these areas to include things such as work/life balance, self-confidence, self-perception, and how the personal influences the professional.

MentorME requires time in which both parties learn about one another and build a mutual trust that creates an environment in which the mentee feels safe in sharing issues that impact their success. The mentor drives the relationship.

Professional certification

The following PA professional bodies are available to Executive Personal Assistants, Management Assistants, Secretaries and Administrators. Every profession has its own professional organisations; membership of a PA professional body reinforces the status of PAs as professionals and managers.
