The Partnership Advantage - When 1+1=11

A Let's Get Ready to Roundtable Discussion

Fifteen years of running the Admin Awards has shown one truth again and again: the most effective leaders do not work alone. They succeed because of partnerships that extend their capacity and sharpen their impact. Among the most critical, yet often misunderstood, is the relationship between executives and their Executive Assistants.

For new leaders, learning how to fully leverage this partnership can accelerate performance. For seasoned executives, rethinking the relationship can unlock new levels of efficiency, influence, and strategic bandwidth.

Join us for the Partnership Advantage Roundtable: When 1+1 = 11 on October 1st, where executive - EA teams will pull back the curtain on how they’ve built high-performing partnerships, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and thedifference it’s made for them and their organizations. Together, we’ll dig into trust, communication rhythms, role clarity, and strategic alignment.

Thanks to the generosity of our program sponsor, Robert Half, this event is complimentary.
