Inside the elite training program for America's top executive assistants:
he first thing to know, Bonnie Low-Kramen tells a full conference room, is that you are not secretaries. You are executive assistants or administrative business partners. The second thing: The people you work for are not bosses. They are managers. She’s holding court during a sold-out day of lectures, lessons and discussions at the Sofitel Hotel in New York—part of a two-day workshop she conducts around the country called“What’s your superpower?” she asks the 30 women and one man in the room .
“I empower them to understand that they do know better,” says Low-Kramen. “To see themselves in a different way, as a very powerful and influential set of eyes and ears.” “Bonnie sits on my shoulder every day when I’m at work,” says Brenda Rogers, 55, the assistant to Norman Abdallah, the CEO of Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, a $50 million organization. Rogers first met Low-Kramen in 2011 for a one-on-one training session, and she returned for a Dallas workshop two years later. “I wanted to do the job better,” she says. “As a CEO’s assistant you just need to be better.” Each time she came away with improved confidence.
Lucy Brazier, Melba Duncan and Al-Husein Madhany are in the business of educating ambitious executive assistants on how to be better at what they do and encouraging them to seek higher compensation.How do you know what you’re worth? Lucy Brazier feels a four-tier measure of status should be developed, with low-level admins at one and top-tier chiefs of staff at four. “When they say, ‘I’m a level-four assistant,’ everybody understands what that means.
