Learn how to communicate with confidence throughout your EA career in this free, member-only webinar.

Adopting assertive, concise language and anticipating your executive’s needs are key ingredients to becoming a leading EA in high-pressure public sector roles. But strong communication is not simply about copying what others are doing. Finding your own voice, style and professional presence is what helps you communicate with confidence and influence.

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

You’ll also 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 colleagues, stakeholders or your executive.

Who is this webinar for?

This free webinar is available exclusively to all IPAA ACT members and is designed for EAs in the APS, ACT Public Service and other Australian public services who want to:

  • communicate with greater influence across their organisation – with colleagues and their executive
  • learn from a senior EA’s career experience and success story
  • understand how to present their professional brand with confidence.

If you work for the federal or ACT public service, or in the broader public-for-purpose sector, you’re most likely already a member of IPAA ACT. Check our membership list  if you’re not sure.
