PERSONAL ASSISTANT MENTORING

PA Mentoring provides an environment where PAs can engage an expert in a time-intensive programme where areas of weakness in their work style or processes can be quickly identified and dealt with, using a tailored-made solution. A Consultant PA mentor is a trusted and interested advisor and supporter of the PA's goals and their aim is to maximise the effectiveness and productivity of the Personal Assistant.

Mentoring is an excellent developmental tool for quickly dealing with performance issues and for raising your game as a PA. The relationship between mentor and the junior PA can represent a type of apprenticeship where best practice and work-smart techniques can be explored.

Our Consultant PA mentor has the necessary time, life experience and work experience to take secretaries and administrators to the next level of professional development and to significantly raise the profile of Executive PAs and Senior Administrators.

People often seek a mentor at particular milestones in their career such as redundancy, a promotion, a new job, and issues with personal performance. There are clear benefits to the PA and to the organisation as listed below.

OUR MENTORING PROGRAMMES

Personal-Assistant-Tips offers the following mentoring packages which are aimed at Executive PAs, senior and junior secretaries, and Administrators.

"ASK A QUESTION" TELEPHONE MENTORING

"Ask a Question" is the perfect 30 minute telephone mentoring facility for those times when you're stuck and can't move forward until you get an answer to a particular question or suggestions for approaching a situation, such as job search strategy.
Ask A Question £60 per 30 mins
Job Search Mentoring £60 per 30 mins

INTENSIVE MONTHLY MENTORING PACKAGES

Face-to-face mentoring services for mentees living in locally, as well as telephone and e-mentoring. Telephone and e-mentoring methods are effective alternatives to face-to- face mentoring so it's not necessary for the mentor and mentee to live in the same area, or even the same country. Mentees may find that email connections are preferable to face-to-face communication, which can take time out of their busy schedule. e-Mentoring can achieve the same nurturing, trusting relationship as face-to-face mentoring.
Face-to-Face (3.5 hrs) £327 per session
45 min phone consultation & 8 emails per 4 weeks £479 per package

THE PA MENTORING CLUB

We've devised the perfect mentoring plan for those who just need someone at the other end of an email to guide them periodically with advice and support. The PA Mentoring Club is for you if you have recently been promoted to a more senior PA role, or if you have recently started your career as a PA. You can ask one question or raise one issue per month. This mentoring plan is available as a 6 month plan or a 3 month plan.
3 month period £97
6 month period £187

CORPORATE MENTORING PROGRAMME

Organisations have personalities of their own and this is reflected in their corporate culture and ethos. Consequently, companies can be prone to specific types of weaknesses that are directly or indirectly caused by corporate culture and processes. Corporate mentoring offers an opportunity for PAs to be mentored as a group, using a tailor-made programme. For more information email Marguerita King or call +44 7771 648521.
