3rd Annual Global Executive Assistant

SUMMIT

June 2 - 3, 2016

Lisbon, Portugal

TODAY ‘S EXECUTIVE /PERSONAL ASSISTANT is a new breed of worker. They’re the ones who are always on top of things, well in-formed and organized. With their unique overview of the company, administrative staff are regularly called upon to make business critical decisions – it’s no exaggeration to say that an executive is only as good as their assistant. Organization and flexibility are important skills for executive assistants, along with the abilities to multitask, meet deadlines and work as part of a team. They are highly accountable and often responsible for safeguarding confidential information.

She truly understands the needs of an Executive or Personal Assistant and that is the reason why her workshops are always well raved. Laura Belgrado holds a Bachelor degree in Business administration and languages.

Laura has over 20 years of experience working in an Interna-tional Corporate environment and almost 10 years as EA to the Global MD of Microsoft GSA. After a big reorg within Microsoft, Laura decided to use this moment to start her Consultancy and become more engaged in delivering Trainings and Coaching for Assistants. Last year Laura joined Mars Europe in Belgium as the EA to the Presidentand 2 VP’s of the Mars Multisales countries around Europe.

In the past 5 years, Laura has been designing and delivering trainings and Coaching Programs for EAs.

Laura’s New Ways of Working are truly an eye opener in today’s profession of the Assistant and gives a whole new per-spective to the meaning, content and credibility of the Role and the Profession.

Laura’s favorite quote is “Enthusiasm is contagious, be a carrier” (Susan Rabin). Her own life experience both private and profes-sional will truly empower you and brings pride and self-confi-dence back in all of the attendees in their roles as Assistants.

Laura’s personal quote that she has been sharing now for the past 4 years and that she hopes will spread around the globe is “There is always time to …..” . At the end of this energizing, mo-tivating and innovative workshop, you will discover what Laura always finds time to ……! do.

Why You Should Attend

Laura Belgrado is quite simply one of the best trainers for As-sistants in the world right now. She has spoken at conferences and run workshops for me and we have appeared as speakers at many of the same events all over the world. Quirky, inspirational and knowledgeable, Laura’s strenght comes from having been an Assistant at the highest levels herself for two of the top brands in the world, combined with a warmth and authenticity that few trainers possess. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura to you as both a trainer and a speaker.

It was my great honour and pleasure to participate at the semi-nar that was held in Belgrade on June 10, 2015. The experi-ence and positive attitude of Ms Belgrado has influenced me so much that it would become a significant part for my future work. The presentation has changed a lot in my perception regarding my attitude recognizing the ways of dealing with certain circum-stances, people and situations. From that day on, all will be dif-ferent and better for me and always remind me how significant my work can be. Nothing happens without a reason....
