Reach your FULL POTENTIAL as an EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

Become a STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNER and ELEVATE YOUR CAREER

If you’re an Executive Assistant who’s ready to break free from transactional support and transform your role into a trusted, strategic business partnership, the Elite EA Academy is for you. This isn’t just a course—it's your roadmap to career fulfilment, professional growth, and leadership impact.

Created by someone who has been in your shoes, supported top executives, and understands the unique challenges you face, this program is designed to give you the tools, strategies, and mindset to thrive in a rapidly evolving business landscape.

A course for EAs who DARE to do THINGS DIFFERENTLY

Success as an EA goes beyond learning how to handle tasks. It’s about understanding how executives think, developing the leadership skills to navigate complex organisational dynamics, and cultivating a strategic mindset that makes you indispensable to your executive team.

So much of the training for EAs is missing the critical why behind the actions that lead to success. This course fills that gap, providing a deep dive into the why, how, and what it takes to drive performance and lead with confidence. No more guessing. No more struggling in isolation. This is the mentorship and training you need to succeed.

The Elite EA Academy is for you if:

  • You’re ready to step into your full potential and be seen as a valuable, strategic partner—not just an administrative resource.

  • You’re tired of the status quo and want to be recognised for the unique value you bring to your executive and organisation.

  • You want to lead with confidence, influence, and a clear path to career success.

  • You’re committed to designing a career that aligns with your strengths, values, and passions, and that makes a lasting impact.

The RECEIPTS

  • I really can't overstate how useful it was to have, essentially, the bones of the EA profession laid out and explained from top to bottom. In a field where we are often dropped into the job with little to no training, EAs are usually people who are used to "figuring it out" in isolation, or in a bubble of only our company or domain. That experience has often left me feeling like I am working with blinkers on. Having the perspective from someone who has worked across a broad range of organisations and found the throughline in all of them - and outlining the WHY behind everything we do as EAs - was extremely illuminating.

    Naomi

  • The Elite EA Academy – a wonderfully thoughtful, insightful, and valuable program for EAs of all levels, no matter where they are on their EA career journey. Rachael’s extensive depth of knowledge and experience shines through as she shares relevant insights, techniques, and crucial confidence and development tools all EAs should have in their toolkit. Our EA team undertook the program at the same time so we could develop our skillset together and incorporate best practice learnings, as taught by Rachael, into our workplace in the same fashion. The suite of modules, all of which have relevance, no matter if you are new to the EA profession or not, are current to what is happening in the corporate world today. Whether you want to up your strategic game or be exemplary in your more traditional, transaction EA role, this course will benefit you!

    Lisa

  • "I have 20+ years of experience and have taken different webinars/classes, and can honestly say that yours is by far the best of all. I am learning so many things that I can practice right now! All the details and passion that you put in your materials and recordings is clear. I am so glad I got to be part of The Elite EA Academy".

    MANDY

  • I am not exagerating when I say that completing this course has changed my life for good, Rachael. I am armed with confidence and knowledge, and this is just the start.

    Miryam

  • The EA Elite Academy has given me the tools and confidence to navigate a challenging work landscape with current redundancies, reminding me that I am talent and not a resource.

    Kira

  • This course has been an absolute gem. I registered for this course in a really low point during my career where I was struggling with my mental health (but didn't really acknowledge that) and was 'lost'. This course popped up in my life like a beacon of hope. I came for the wellbeing content, stayed for the best practice hot tips and left with greater confidence in myself and what I can offer as an EA. Thank you Rachael.

    Beth

  • "I realised in this course that I spend so much time thinking about others that it is quite uncomfortable to think about myself.  I have started the conversation with my Boss about my career progression and identifying experiences I want or development I need to get where I want to be." 

    Kristi

  • I found this to be a really worthwhile course and I am so proud that my organisation felt I was worth the investment. I am looking forward to working on and prioritising myself a little more and using the learnings, particularly around understanding my value, what I can contribute and how I can be a cultural beacon to the workplace. From a technical perspective there have been some really great teachings for me to implement regularly and refer back to continually to help make use of my time more efficiently, which will in turn benefit all those around me. Thank you for continually advocating for administrative professionals and for giving us the tools to really continue reshaping people's mindsets of what an EA is.

    May

  • The biggest win has been the confidence boost the course has given me. It has given me the tools advocate for myself, believe that what I am thinking is worth saying, and I have started to show others that I am a leader.

    Fiona

  • “I would highly recommend all Executive Assistants within a business complete The Elite EA Academy together. At our company, the Executive Assistants are spread over multiple states and will mainly converse regarding diary management. By completing this course together we felt like an actual team. It provided a unique opportunity to focus on our development and support each other along the way ”

    ASHLEIGH

  • I’m really glad I did it, and it has refreshed the way I look at my role and how I show up.

    Sophie

  • "Not only was the content informative, but Rachael’s support and delivery throughout was above and beyond! I’ve taken so much away from the program. It’s given me the motivation and the confidence I needed to apply for a promotion"

    Renae

  • "For me it has been a real lightbulb moment how much "power" or authority an EA can have. Being fairly new in my role, I didn't understand how much you can actually take control and lead, being an EA."

    Johanna

  • “Rachael has the ability to dive into what is holding her clients back, equip them with the confidence and tools needed and send them off to conquer the world. She’s warm, compassionate and has a rock solid depth of corporate knowledge that helps her truly understand the issues faced by administrative staff at all levels, from Team Assistants to C Suite Executive Assistants”.

    Kylie

  • Rachael's insight and experience is second to none, she brings such a passion to the training and content that whoever you'd considered to be your mentor before this, will be swiftly replaced by her! The course is perfectly structured and paced giving you real time results, it is so exciting to feel the immediate benefits of self-development! I can't thank her enough for providing this to the EA community, it is so rewarding and absolutely is 'everything you wish someone had told you before you started'! THANK YOU!!!

    Dani

  • "As a C-Suite Executive Assistant, I found myself in a position where I was looking for additional learning and training and even sometimes just some guidance on navigating certain complexities of the role, but felt that there wasn’t really anything out there that fit the bill as a lot of it is aimed at upskilling the entry-mid level market. It is sometimes lonely in this position, you can’t share and confide in just anyone and at the end of the day no-one can really “get it” more than someone who has been in the trenches so Rachael’s insight is invaluable”.

    Suzanne

  • I am very grateful to you and the opportunity I have had to participate in the course. I am thankful for all the content shared and for your honesty and being so authentic in really speaking the truth just as it is, to fill in those gaps. The EA world can be a guessing game, with other EA’s not wanting to share knowledge, tips, and advice, so to hear your feedback was so valuable. I am so glad that you get the EA world! I have thoroughly enjoyed all your tips and advice and can’t thank you enough for your presence, positivity, and proving me with all many tools to support me in my journey ahead. I think we get so caught up in LIFE, that the thing the matters the most is our health and wellbeing, staying healthy otherwise everything can fall apart in a flash, burnout. I am so grateful for the reminder and wake up call! Thank you Rach.

    Angela

  • "There is more to being an EA than traditional transactional support, and following this course I can now see a remarkable and varied career in my future."

    Ashleigh

  • your class should be mandatory in every single company. Even for the ones that have a well structured onboarding in place, they will never be as as granular and complete as what you show and explain. I can’t thank you enough for all the love and effort that you have put into it.

    Maeve

  • “Rachael is a leader in the EA coaching field, she is highly professional, personable and someone we highly recommend”.

    Danielle Loader, Director, WeRecruit Group

  • “It was exactly what I needed to reignite my motivation, reset my mindset on how I show up at work, and get clarity on the areas I need to focus on and lean into to get to where I want to be in my career as an assistant. It’s perfect for those looking for admin specialised personal development. I found the group discussions empowering and interesting in sharing our experiences, challenges and insights which we could all relate to”.

    Liz

  • I didn’t think a course like this existed and am very grateful to have found it.

    Emma

  • I would 100% recommend this course to EAs of all levels/experience. Putting perspective onto future goals and aspirations has been a real game changer for me.

    Jackie

  • “After years as a C-Suite EA I was looking for a reawakening of the ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’' of what I do. In this program Rachael uses her years of experience and insight to dig deep into the big question of identity, vision, boundaries and goal setting (plus more). Her perspective is empowering and her content gives you real, actionable ideas you can use today. Being able to come together with other admin professionals with common goals is invaluable. Do this course! Rachael is the real deal. You won’t look back!”

    Anne

  • “This was a valuable opportunity for me to join like-minded peers from different industries, and participate in a quality program where we have challenged and developed our thinking about how we perform as Executive Assistants”.

    Sarah

  • “I thought I’d let you know, that my CEO ended up giving me that pay rise I really wanted and I didn’t even have to ask for it. I started using techniques from the program and just pushed hard and he recognised my hard work and rewarded it. With an almost 40% increase to my salary and I have your help to thank for it”

    Sandra

  • "I have come away with a lot of helpful and thought provoking information about my work and how I show up each day to support as a C-suite Executive Assistant. However the greatest takeaway I've had from participating in this course is the boost to my confidence. After listening to Rachael's wealth of advice coming from her years of experience supporting at the highest levels of business, I know I am on the right track"

    Sarah

  • "This is a great course for Executive Assistants to help them understand they do more than just 'do things', to know their impact. If it was not for those working hard behind the scenes, no organisation would function as well."

    Debbie

  • I would recommend the course to any EA looking to further their skills and find strategies to have a healthy mindset. It definitely makes you stop and think about how you approach your work/life balance.

    Jess

  • I am so thankful for the Meeting Prep Discipline guidance and templates! It had a tangible and instant impact in my work, as it let me and my leader focus in the big picture.

    Bella

  • All of the modules, information, level of detail, advice and support is excellent. It fills in so many gaps that no one ever shares on the job and it is often very difficult to figure out without some support.

    Sasha

  • A big personal win was realising that with all this new context and information about the how and why of an EA's potential, I do actually think I might enjoy being a C-suite EA in the future. Before the course, I lacked information on how to actually be successful and what specific skills to apply in higher roles, and that lack of information led to a lack of confidence in myself. That, plus seeing quite a lot of the things I already do well reflected in the course content, has left me feeling more empowered about my potential and feeling like I have a better idea of the steps I need to take / skills I need to focus on to grow in that direction.

  • Some modules are longer than others, but the beauty of a self-paced course is that you can hit pause and complete it in the time frame that works best with your lifestyle.

    As a guide below is the watch time for tutorials:

    Module 1: ~2 hours

    Module 4: ~2 hours

    Module 5: ~1.5 hours

    Module 6: ~1.5 hours

  • As a self-paced course you are in control of how and where you do the work.

    I recommend building in a couple of hours a week. Over the course of a week, this isn’t a lot of time.

    It comes down to deciding to prioritise your development and then make the choices of how you want to spend your time to support you to do this.

    Consider where your time leaks are. Maybe it’s wasting time on socials or watching Netflix and you can create free time by curbing these pass times for a short while.

    You may also want to speak with your manager to tell them you are working on career development and see whether you can have study time out.

  • Absolutely!

    We can share suggested impactful wording for you to use as inspiration and tailor to suit your needs and objectives.

    Why don’t we give you ALL the words to say?

    The wording is a great framework to start. Through personalising you’re demonstrating how doing the course will benefit your executive and your organisation and YOU.
