Strategic PA Network x Orega Lunch & Learn Series | Connect. Learn. Lead.

Join Sarah Howson and Marianne Whitlock from the Strategic PA Network for an engaging, interactive Lunch & Learn designed to bring together Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants and Business Support professionals from across the local community.

 

This is more than a lunchtime seminar, it’s an opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas and explore what it really means to be a strategic assistant in today’s workplace. Through facilitated discussion, shared experiences and practical insights, Sarah and Marianne will lead a collaborative roundtable focused on developing the mindset, behaviours and skills that enable assistants to add greater strategic value to their organisations.

 

Whether you’re looking to enhance your confidence, broaden your perspective or simply learn from others facing similar challenges, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, practical takeaways and valuable new connections.

 

What you’ll gain:

  • Practical ideas to help you become a more strategic and influential assistant.
  • Insights and best practice shared by experienced assistants from a range of organisations.
  • The opportunity to discuss real workplace challenges in a supportive peer-learning environment.
  • Fresh perspectives and actionable tips you can implement immediately.
  • New professional connections with local assistants who understand your role and the challenges you face.
  • Time to step away from your desk, reflect, learn and invest in your own professional development.

A light lunch will be provided, giving you the perfect opportunity to continue the conversation, build your network and strengthen relationships with fellow assistants in an informal setting.

 

If you believe the assistant profession is stronger when we learn together, share experiences and support one another, this Lunch & Learn is for you. We look forward to welcoming you for an hour of inspiring conversation, practical learning and meaningful connections.
