EVENT AND CONFERENCE PLANNERS

Please explore the menus at the top of your screen. Under the Event Planners heading, you’ll find helpful drop-down menus. I invite you to check my Keynotes page, and to explore presentation themes and details through the drop-down menus under the “Shelagh’s Speaking Topics” heading.

I’m a speaker, trainer and writer who walked the walk, primarily in C-level environments, for almost three decades. The path and education I took to reach this stage reflect my values and adaptability. Having been an EA in the corporate world, I also led my own department as a corporate software trainer before leaving the role to prioritize our young family. A few years later, I rebooted my assistant career at the bottom of the ladder in a smaller city and ultimately left the office environment in 2018, after a decade as a governance professional in the public sector. Since then, I’ve been engaged to deliver keynote addresses and training in person in 12 countries and have delivered virtual training for people in dozens.

I customize education for each audience, to ensure I meet and surpass your expectations. If you’d like to begin a conversation, drop me a note through my online contact form or email me at ExceptionalEAs@gmail.com.

ASSISTANTS

I founded Exceptional EA in 2013 to provide professional development for a global community of assistants who approach the role as a career. 

You’ll find more than 13 years’ worth of complimentary resources right here, in the posts below and through the drop-down menus at the top of your screen.
