There was so much valuable information and content from each of the speakers. I didn't watch them all - some where not of interest - but overall, I would say this summit was curated well and jam packed! Thank you.

I really enjoyed the variety of guests you featured. They weren't all focused on finding a job or improving at your current role or even staying in this industry! I was so pumped to see them come into my inbox every day!

I loved it! The variety of speakers and topics was amazing! Jenny Wood - Negotiate with Wild Courage! Was my favorite and the book is amazing. Thank you, Leslie, for putting your vision into action. I am looking forward to joining the next event!

First, thank you for being the brainchild of this project. It was so beneficial and free to boot! Your prepared questions were very thoughtful and go to the heart of most of my challenges as an EA. Fantastic depth of guest speakers...Great job Leslie, I enjoyed your product you delivered.

Hello - thank you. I received it this morning and listened to the opening remarks and Jenny's session. It was perfectly timed as a had an interview at 11:30am and was able to apply some of her tips and go into it with a much more confident mindset. Can't wait for the rest of the program this week!!

Since attending, I’ve noticed a shift in how I advocate for myself during my job search. Hearing so many speakers affirm the value of executive assistants reminded me that we are essential to any organization. That mindset shift has helped me better discern which companies truly recognize our impact and which don’t.

What I appreciated about the summit, was 1) the fact that the assistant role is being taken more seriously, 2) the nuances of the differing roles, and the extraordinary speakers who spoke about this, made me feel very seen, and 3) came away with so many incredible tools and helped me to rethink where I want to go next :-) Thank you for this summit!

Leslie, This summit is full of learnings and tools that keep on giving. I'm still watching sessions and taking more notes. You put a LOT of time and effort into this. Thank you for the extended opportunity for VIP. I always need a longer time to digest information, and I often will go back and re-watch or re-listen to speakers because I hear something new the second time around. This was helpful and definitely a great deal for the cost. Thanks a bunch, Kathleen Crow

I thoroughly enjoyed the summit and found it to be both inspiring and thought provoking. Each session offered practical insights and fresh perspectives on how to navigate the evolving EA landscape. The focus on future proofing our EA careers, embracing AI, and developing personal branding was especially valuable. Having access to the session playbacks was instrumental-it allowed me to revisit the content, really let the sessions sink in, and take detailed notes at my own pace. Being given free access to additional resources and downloads to support the learnings was incredibly generous and very much appreciated. I've made new connections with the leaders in our field and fellow EAs across the globe. I left feeling more confident, better equipped, and genuinely motivated to take my next career steps. A brilliant event for any EA looking to grow and thrive in today’s changing workplace. Thank you.
