Speaking with Presence – Presenting yourself as a confident EA/ PA
Face-to-face conversation can feel like the most challenging area of communication. We often have to
think on our feet, organise our thoughts quickly and answer unexpected questions. We also have to
deal with emotions that can get in the way of the issue, emotions of both the person we're talking to
and ourselves.
In this hands-on workshop, Marianna Pascal will help you to make a great impression with anyone
in common scenarios that EAs and PAs face. We'll discover the dos and don'ts of effective spoken
communication, and you'll practise simple formulas so that you can speak with skill and confidence
even in tough situations.
The workshop will offer qualified and hands-on methodologies on vital aspects of communication
including:
•	 How to make a powerful impression in 30 seconds to represent your professionalism
•	 Leveraging on body language to project influence
•	 Body language blunders that may be harming your professional image
•	 The 2 keys to deliver a clear message to anyone
•	 Speak in presence in front of your boss to win support

Supercharge Your Business Writing Skills
In your role, you must represent your boss professionally in all your communications. We now
communicate with people from all over the world, and much of the time the only way people can form
an opinion of us is by looking at the way we write. What sort of impression do your emails and other
documents create?
Shirley Taylor will make you think twice next time you put your fingers on the keyboard. In this highly
interactive session, Shirley will look at common errors made in writing today, and share with you one
key principle that will transform the way you write.
Here’s what Shirley will share in this fun, engaging session:
•	 Are you writing for yesterday or today?
•	 Common errors made in today’s business writing
•	 One key thing most people are doing in emails that is just not working
•	 The 4Ws and the 4Rs that will help you in all your writing
•	 How to craft simple, clear, and concise messages that get great results
•	 How to achieve better results by communicating with HEART

12:20	 Lunch Break
13:20	 Managing with Mindfulness and Enhancing your Productivity
	 Often as an EA/PA, you are called upon to solve problems,
	 for your boss, for your co-workers, or even for clients. The role
	 of the Executive Assistant is thus general, changeable,
	 indefinable, and extraordinarily situational. However, by solving
	 multiple issues at the same time, our minds are easily
	 distracted, overwhelmed with new challenges, and pressure.
	 Becoming more aware of our thoughts and emotions in a way
	 that suspends judgment and self-criticism can have an
	 incredible positive impact on our productivity at work.
	 This session will help you understand how your brain works,
	 and therefore how to pay attention, manage distractions,
	 control your emotions and focus better. You will be able to
	 empathise, make informed and thoughtful decisions and have
	 a collaborative and solution-oriented mind-set to effectively
	 tackle any upcoming challenges. You will acquire adroit ‘trouble-
	 shooting” capability, which is a must-have skill of any adept EA/ PA
	 •	 Understand why you think the way you do to control the situations
	 •	 Take a brain break - being mindful is the key to your sanity
		 and productivity
	 •	 Learn Sue’s U-SOFAR technique to avoid emotional traps
	 •	 Multi-tasking – “do we”, “don’t we” or “should we”?
	 •	 Beating procrastination – eat that live frog & Pomadora to
		 the rescue
	 •	 From reactive to proactive – Stop habitual reactions and be
		 in control
	 Sue France, Award-wining EA Trainer & Founder,
	 Sue France Training
	 Bestselling Author, “The Definitive Personal Assistant and
	 Secretarial Handbook"
Managing Dynamic Relationships

	 from your Boss

	 are unappreciated by their boss. In this roundtable discussion
	 you will dive into the interactive and cosy discussion your
	 challenges with peers and learn from their best practices. This
	 discussion aims to share stories and exchange experiences on
	 the approaches to gain recognition and relevant support from
	 your executives, to ensure the most fruitful partnership.

CONFERENCE DAY ONE
Tuesday, 1st December 2015
14:40	 Effective Communication at Work: Applying the Heart-Based
	Formula
	 Being an effective communicator is ranked the no. 1 most
	 important skill among Executive Assistants. They need to
	 be the alter ego of their boss, speak the language of their senior
	 management, and use an approachable tone towards other
	 colleagues for better collaboration. In today’s team-based
	 working environment, technical abilities are not enough to
	 guarantee success. The way you connect with bosses,
	 colleagues and clients can often spell the difference between
	 success and failure in actually getting your job done.
	 However, for all our advancing technology, it’s ironic that the
	 standard of communication is declining rapidly. The truth is,
	 excellent communication skills - both oral and written - are
	 essential at all level.
	
	 Shirley will share her unique HEART-based formula for
	 communicating effectively. When you learn to communicate
	 with heart, everyone will be more productive, more supportive,
	 more successful, and a whole lot happier. Shirley will address
	 these key areas:
	 •	 Why communication skills are more important than ever today
	 •	 Getting your ideas across clearly, concisely and persuasively
	 •	 Shirley’s HEART-based formula for communication success
		 and results
	 •	 How to add value and make a difference in every exchange
	 •	 Building better relationships with bosses, colleagues, clients
		 and friends
	 •	 Communicating more effectively, productively and successfully
	 Shirley Taylor, Certified Speaking Professional, Bestselling
	 Author & Founder STTS Training
	 Creator of www.ShirleyTaylorVT.com
15:20	 Afternoon Break & Networking Session
15:50	 Juggling the balls when you have More than One Boss 	
	 It is increasingly common in modern organisations that EA/
	 PAs find themselves supporting more than one executive for
	 multiple functional roles. While you are trying to juggle
	 between demands of the different bosses, it can be difficult to
	 balance conflicting priorities for different bosses. This session
	 will provide skills and tips to succeed in the multiple roles, make
	 every executive stay happy while still leaving a unique trademark
	 in your work performance. Key areas to be addressed include:
	 •	 Understanding the unique demands of your boss, your boss’s
		 boss and other bosses to craft personalised working approaches
	 •	 Learning to adapt to individual working styles of each boss
	 •	 Balancing conflicting messages and priorities to ensure
		 optimal work satisfaction
	 •	 Communicating with confidence about how you will support
		 their various needs
	 •	 Ensuring interactions are effective, not time consuming
	 •	 Proactively managing the workload to avoid being overwhelmed
	 •	 Working with confidentiality and diplomacy to avoid
		 unnecessary conflict
	 •	 Asking for feedback in the right manner
	 Lyn Lian, EA to Managing Director GSSM, Barclays
16:20	 Nurturing your Ace in the Hole– Applied Emotional Intelligence
	 in the Workplace for Career Success
	 •	 What does science and corporate history teach us about
		 Emotional Intelligence?
	 •	 Developing your observer self to guide self development -
		 Knowing others begins with knowing yourself
	 •	 Harnessing your Sensory Acuity to stay observant so as to
		 anticipate unspoken needs of your boss and colleagues
	 •	 Listening, Asking and Responding – keys to handle difficult
		 situations and workplace conflicts
	 •	 Integrating EQ development in your day to day work: tools
		 for further exploration
	 Jayan Warrier, Certified EQ Coach & Director,
	 Positive Performance Consulting
17:00	 Managing Up – Building Personal Chemistry and an Effective
	 Partnership with your Boss based on Trust, Professionalism
	 and Integrity
	 Do you and your manager have an efficient working
	 partnership? Do you find it challenging to remotely support and
	 build good partnerships with your boss who is constantly out of
	 the office and on business travel? Learn tips and wise
	 approaches to develop a more effective partnership. Key areas
	 to be addressed include:
	 •	 Communicating effectively to identify and align with your
		 boss’s goals, expectations and working style
	 •	 Leveraging on the 3 pillars of “Wall of Trust”: needs,
		 expectations and promises to build trust at both a personal
		 and professional level
	 •	 Giving and receiving feedback: right timing matters!
	 •	 Learning the art of suggesting alternatives to avoid
		 overpromising and under-delivering
	 Sabrina Chua, EA to Division Vice President, Abbott
17:30	 Squad Builder –Nurturing Cross-Functional Collaboration for
	 Improved Organisational Performance
	 This session will outline how you can develop nurturing
	 relationships, a high level of teamwork and ultimately bring
	 impressive results to your boss and organisation. Key areas to
	 be addressed include:
	 •	 Understanding the different personalities of your colleagues
		 for a better working relationship

	 Sue France, Award-wining EA Trainer & Founder,
	 Sue France Training
Mastering Skills for the Next Generation EA/PA
9:10	 “Upsize” your Role and Leverage Opportunities
	 The amount of value that an Executive Assistant can add to
	 the organisation will be dependent on 3 factors: the company
	 nature, the executive’s willingness, and the assistant himself/
	 herself. If you are an Executive Assistant who looks to climb the
	 corporate ladder and be rewarded appropriately, it is important
	 that you define your own strategic value in the organisation,
	 build your skill set and align yourself the right executive and
	 businesses, one that shares your goals and vision.
	 Hear the winner of “EA of the Year 2015” talk about her
	 journey to win this prestigious award
	 •	 Developing your skill-sets and mentality that go beyond the
		 traditional requirements of an EA/PA role
	 •	 Leveraging on 3 factors: The organisation, the executive and
		 the assistant’s capability to win trust from the company
	 •	 From fulfilling tasks to creating organisational values, and impacts
	 •	 Getting ready and spotting the opportunities in new challenges
	 Audrey Ung, Winner “EA of the Year 2015”, EA to SVP & GM,
	APJ, VMware
9:40	 The Power of Positive Attitude
	 A common trait of the most successful assistants is their
	 positive attitude. An energetic, optimistic and positive EA/PA is
	 in hot demand and sought-after by any organisation striving for
	 greater success. Key areas addressed in this session include:
	 •	 How a positive attitude affects performance at work
	 •	 Becoming mindful of our thought patterns, both negative
		 and positive
	 •	 How to develop habits that condition us for a positive
		 mental attitude
	 •	 Being solution instead of problem focused
	 •	 Leveraging on optimistic stamina to create symmetry out of
		 chaos, enrich relationships and augment influence.
	 Bhavani Prakash, TEDx Speaker, Trainer, Executive Coach
	 & Founder, Conscious Leadership Asia
10:20	Morning Break & Networking Session
10:50	 EA/PA2.0—Coping with Organisational Changes to constantly
	 Deliver Business Value
	 With today’s rapid changes in corporate structures, the role
	 of the EA/PA has evolved and now requires more responsibility.
	 It is transitioning and coming closer to the core of business.
	 The commitment to continuously improve becomes the main
	 principle that drives talented assistants ahead of the competition.
	 The most sought-after EA/PAs are those who are well equipped
	 with relevant knowledge and have a continuous commitment
	 to improve themselves. This session will cover:
	 •	 Organisational changes and the urgent need for constant
		improvement
	 •	 Must-have traits to cope with an ever changing set of
		 responsibilities to remain competitive
	 •	 What type of EA/PA are you? – Discovering your potential so
		 it can be fully unleashed
	 •	 Tips to keep yourself ‘on the ball’, and constantly add value
	 Delphine Chin, Executive Assistant to President and Managing
	Director, SAP South East Asia
11:20	 What’s Next for the EA/PA – The EA/PA’s Transitional Era
	 Going beyond the administrative role has become the new norm
	 for the modern EA/PA. Today’s executive assistants take on
	 large-scale events planning, project management and even
	 in-depth business research and analysis reports. They are
	 involved in strategic planning and often work directly alongside
	 the executives they support. This interactive panel will discuss
	 the evolving EA/PA role in more detail and allow participants to
	 learn from other experiences and best practices:
	 The session will touch on:
	 •	 What other tasks the EA/PA can explore?
	 •	 How to efficiently split the tasks and succeed in various roles?
	 •	 What are the growth opportunities and career progression path?
	 Panelists include:
	 Ima Zainal-Bentley, EA to Group General Manager & HR
	Director, Kimberly-Clark Corporation
	 Jaime Hon, EA to Managing Director & Partner, Mercer
	 Abigail Vasantha, Executive PA to Global Chief Development
	Officer, Accor Hotels
12:00	Lunch Break

	 Being a High-level EA, you are expected to be a “Jane of All
	 Trades.” This session will uncover how you can tackle new
	 challenges and seek hidden opportunities for career progression.
	 •	 Stretching your comfort zone to deliver 110% beyond the
		expectations
	 •	 Fostering collaboration across different departments to
		 ensure optimal performance
	 •	 Building trust with different stakeholders to get your
		 messages across easier
	 •	 Staying proactive with a touch of sensitivity to avoid stepping
		 on others’ shoes
	 Ade Ermasari, EA to Executive Vice President Strategic
	 Resource Cycles, Danone Asia Pte Ltd
13:30	 Essential Skills for Super Event Planning
	 Do you often have to rack your brain to schedule the perfect
	 offsite event for your team? Do you need to organise events for
	 the same people every year? EA/ PAs have become the
	 professional events organiser in organisations. However, it is a
	 challenge when it comes to adding creative elements to the
	 repeated events. This interactive session will uncover plenty
	 of “how-to” insights to help make you an interesting event guru
	 who organises events that everyone enjoys attending.
	 •	 Stimulating creative juices in repeated events to constantly
		 add a breadth of fresh air
