#StrategicPANetwork | 21/9 | MIDDLE EIGHT | THE POWER OF INFLUENCE AS AN EA

You are cordially invited to attend Strategic PA Network’s FACE TO FACE event at Middle Eight, Covent Garden on Thursday, 21st September 2023 at 6.00pm.

‘The Power of Influence as a C-Suite Executive Assistant’

The Executive Assistant role is one of great visibility and influence. Being able to harness and utilise said influence can be difficult and having the confidence to put yourself out there to affect change is easier said than done.

Are you tired of being trodden on or ignored when you speak in management meetings? Do you wish that the management gave you the respect and credibility you know you deserve?

With the help of the fantastic David Roylance, the first part of the evening will teach you how to influence, stand out and increase your credibility. David will be taking us through the three pillars of impact, so you have absolute command of your own presence resulting in you coming across with the charisma and influence that you intend.

The second part of the evening will focus on what you could use your newly found influence for. In a panel discussion led by the Ambassador for Corporate Sponsorship at Bounce Forward, Voula Tsoflias, we will discuss supporting charities, using your influence positively within your organisation, your role and beyond.
