Learn how to communicate with confidence throughout your EA career.

Adopting assertive, concise language and anticipating your executive’s needs are key ingredients for becoming a leading EA in high-pressure public sector roles. But it’s not enough to simply copy what others are doing – finding your own voice and style will lead you to success.

Hear from Lydia Milosavljevic, executive assistant to Secretary Simon Duggan, Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, about how finding her own unique communication style has helped her become one of the Australian Public Service’s most respected and senior EAs.

Learn from Kathy Hilyard, co-founder of the Centre for Collective Leadership, about how to refine your communication style and increase your influence – whether that’s with your colleagues or your executive. Then, join photographer Alexandra Orme to learn about visual representation of who you are, with confidence and authenticity.

After the main event, network with your peers over snacks and beverages.  

Who is this for? 

EAs in the APS, ACT public service and other Australian public services, and private sector EAs who want to: 

• understand how to communicate with influence – with colleagues and their executive
• learn from a senior EA’s success story
• know how to present their professional brand visually.
