As an Assistant, do you wish people took you more seriously? Do you struggle to get senior members of staff to listen to you? Do you start work a little early, miss lunch or eat at your desk (while being interrupted) and finish work a little later? Maybe the idea of saying “no“ to colleagues makes you feel nervous? Do you feel like you can be your complete self at work, or do you accommodate people so often you even forget who you are anymore?

I walked out feeling more confident, empowered, motivated, competent and less stressed than I have ever felt. I could not wait to get into the office.
Confidence is sky high and I have used the ‘No’ word- extremely good.
I meant to write to let you know that I’m putting into practice lots of the skills I learnt on your course, mostly around behaviours and I feel much more in control without upsetting anyone – so much so that I have been asked to apply for the deputy managers post (additional duties and more money). So thanks for the confidence to show them what I am made of!!
I have to say that previous to going on the course I was close to looking for a new job but since I’ve come back I’ve just been enjoying it so much more. I even asked the boss for his objectives today!!! I feel much more in control and that’s what I was missing before I did the course. Mostly that was from a plain and simple lack of knowledge as to what exactly I should be doing but now that I know, there’s no stopping me!!
