As an Executive Assistant in 2025, you're expected to be more strategic, more agile - and more tech-savvy than ever before. The bar has been raised. Understanding and utilising AI is no longer a ‘nice to have’ - it’s fast becoming a must-have in your role.
Maybe you’ve started using AI to write emails or tidy up text, but deep down you know you’re only scratching the surface. Where’s the game-changing impact we keep hearing about?
The answer? Automation.
It’s the missing link between basic AI tools and the kind of productivity and influence that sets you apart.
Delivered by Lauren Bradley, Founder of The Officials and tech and automation expert, this collaborative and practical workshop is designed specifically for Executive Assistants ready to move beyond trial and error - and towards confident, strategic use of AI and automation.
What You’ll Gain:
Real-world examples of AI-powered automation that can save you hours each week
Practical tools and techniques to help you automate key tasks immediately
A clear understanding of how to bridge the gap between AI and true workflow efficiency
What to Expect:
Co-working from 12pm: Arrive early to network, connect, and meet fellow EAs in a relaxed, collaborative environment
Training runs from 3pm to 6pm: An engaging, interactive session full of insights and hands-on learning
A safe learning space: This is a judgement-free environment where you can ask questions, experiment and learn alongside peers
Tailored content: To help you get the most out of the session, a pre-event questionnaire will be sent out - we’d also love to capture your AI-related questions in advance
Community connection: A unique opportunity to engage with both Strategic PA Network and The Officials communities
Let Lauren demystify AI for you. Let’s make automation work to unlock the next level of your career toolkit!
