    What sets you apart in your career? Many workplaces are increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence (AI), yet we truly differentiate ourselves when we balance technical skills with those associated with cultural and emotional intelligence. The people we most admire typically connect with others and succeed because they embody human-centric skills that also elevate their influence and impact.

    Join our April 24th webinar to explore the trio of cultural, emotional and artificial intelligence, and how they represent opportunities to amplify your value. You’ll gain GenAI insights as we explore how other assistants are using such resources in 2025. Register today, and IMA Training Partner Shelagh Donnelly will also draw on her extensive experience to help you elevate emotional and cultural intelligence skills that can help you thrive.

    Learning outcomes:

    • 1.      Insights on the trio of intelligences that can help you amplify your value
    • 2.      Learn how assistants are using GenAI in 2025
    • 3.      Build future-ready skills for career currency, and prepare to thrive

    Non-members are welcome to sign up at the cost of 25 Euro per person. If you want to attend, please write to executivefinance@ima-network.org.

    Thrive in Change: A Workshop for Management Assistants

    The world around us is evolving faster than ever, with advancements in AI, hybrid work environments, and the increasing pace of digital transformation shaping how we work. For management assistants, this brings exciting possibilities and, at times, unique challenges. Thriving in this ever-changing landscape is about staying open to change, building resilience, and embracing new opportunities to grow and flourish.

    We warmly invite you to a thoughtful and engaging workshop designed especially for personal and executive assistants.

    What to Expect

    In this workshop session, we’ll explore:

    • Understanding the dynamics of change: How to gently navigate its different stages.
    • Building tools to stay grounded: Simple, practical ways to remain calm, centered, and proactive.
    • Embracing a strategic mindset: How to shift from an operational role to a more strategic one, creating meaningful impact in your work.

    The session will be led by expert facilitators from Future Leaders Global, an organization with extensive experience in leadership development and the vision of co-creating a thriving world. Their thoughtful approach blends practical tools with deep insights, ensuring an inspiring and relevant experience for all participants.

    A Day for Growth and Connection

    Set against the serene backdrop of Øvre Sem gård, this workshop offers a warm, welcoming space to pause, reflect, and connect with others. It’s an opportunity to gain fresh insights, develop valuable skills, and leave feeling more confident in navigating change.

    We’d love for you to join us for this special day of learning and inspiration. Spaces are limited, so don’t wait to secure your spot.

    Feedback That Engages and Works

    So important, yet so challenging! Why is it that many hesitate to give feedback? What are we afraid of—and why doesn’t feedback work the way we want it to?

    As an EA or PA, your role is crucial in fostering effective communication and motivation for those around you. The ability to provide meaningful feedback is essential for understanding what we are doing well and where we can improve.

    When given and received effectively, feedback can:

    • Serve as coaching, enabling you to adjust and enhance efforts and outcomes.
    • Promote learning and development.
    • Strengthen relationships and create honest, trust-based communication within the team.
    • Boost motivation, meaning, and engagement.
    • Contribute positively to the development of a culture characterized by safety, growth, and openness.

    On the flip side, feedback that misses the mark can create distance, turning you and your colleague into unproductive and silent oysters. So, how do you ensure that your feedback both engages and works?

    From the workshop “Feedback That Engages and Works,” you’ll gain fresh perspectives and tools to help you move, motivate, and inspire.

    Lise and Nancy from Fandler Brodin & Partners warmly invite you to a spectacular evening.
