THINK like an EXECUTIVE. OPERATE like a LEADER. Be SEEN as a BUSINESS ASSET.
You’re sharp, driven and ambitious. But you know something’s missing.
You’re exceptional at what you do - handling high-stakes decisions, managing chaos like a pro, and making sure everything (and everyone) runs smoothly.
So why does it feel like you’re the only one who truly sees your value?
Most EA training and handovers miss the mark. They teach the ‘how’ but never the ‘why’—and that’s a massive disservice to the profession.
It slows the process of reaching full potential
It creates career plateaus
It limits earning capacity
It impacts confidence and self-belief
It slows performance
I see you. I hear you. I’VE BEEN YOU.
Does this sound familiar?
You feel invisible—your executive relies on you, yet you’re not seen as a key player.
You want to be more strategic, but no one has shown you what that actually means.
You’re burnt out, caught in constant reactivity, drowning in unspoken expectations.
You sit in leadership meetings, hearing jargon and strategy talk, but don’t feel equipped to contribute at that level.
You’ve taken courses before, but they just skim the surface—there’s no depth, no real-world strategy that works in high-stakes environments.
The Real Problem? It’s Not You.
It’s the lack of structured, relevant professional development tailored for EAs.
The EAs Who Thrive?
They’ve mastered something beyond systems and checklists.
After 27 years working alongside high-level executives and mentoring top-tier EAs, I’ve seen firsthand what separates those who plateau from those who rise to the top.
It’s not just about being efficient - it’s about being essential.
The highest-performing EAs aren’t just “getting things done.” They have the intangible leadership skills that command respect in executive spaces:
✔️ Strategic Thinking - Anticipating needs, making decisions, and seeing the big picture.
✔️ Executive Presence - Knowing how to own the room (even in a room full of C-suite leaders).
✔️ Influence & Positioning - Moving beyond execution to become a trusted advisor, not just an assistant.
These skills don’t just happen over time. They have to be developed - and that’s exactly what The Elite EA Academy is designed to do.
That’s exactly what The Elite EA Academy was designed to teach.
The Elite EA Academy is a 12-week intensive program designed to take you from reactive support to a high-impact, strategic EA who knows exactly how to move the business forward - with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
AI and Google can get you so far - but real-world context is what makes the difference between taking action and getting measurable, tangible results.
The Elite EA Academy gives you that context.
We Start June 4th
Master the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of strategic EA work
No more second-guessing
Learn exactly what top-tier executives need—and how to position yourself as a critical asset to the business.
Think like a leader, act with influence, and create ease across teams—so you’re not just supporting decisions, you’re shaping them.
Break free from burnout and micro-stress with proven frameworks that create efficiency, control, and balance
Leverage expert resources—cheat sheets, mapped-out workflows, and best practices - stop reinventing the wheel and start operating at a higher level.
“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”

Led by a GLOBAL AUTHORITY in EXECUTIVE SUPPORT & BUSINESS STRATEGY - Training THE BEST to be EVEN BETTER
Meet Your Mentor: Rachael Bonetti
I’m Rachael —former senior EA to top-tier executives and CEOs, keynote speaker, trainer, podcast host and global mentor to high-performing EAs. For 27 years, I supported some of the most powerful executives in the world. I’ve sat in leadership rooms, driven business outcomes, and shaped executive effectiveness at the highest levels. But I had to learn the hard way. No roadmap. No playbook. No guide.
So I created The Elite EA Academy—the program I wish I had when I was navigating this space. I’ve written for Forbes Australia, trained Fortune 500 companies, and spoken at global conferences. Now, I’m here to show you how to elevate your role and take control of your career.
Work with me and learn what no one else is teaching.
Join the waitlist now to learn directly from one of the most trusted trainers in the EA profession.
What is HOLDING YOU BACK?
I don’t have time for this.
This program is designed for busy EAs—it’s self-paced, mobile-friendly, and every live call is recorded for flexibility.
Is it worth the investment?
Let’s be clear: This isn’t a cost. It’s a career investment. You can read graduate testimonials here
How is this training different from other courses?
Most EA training is surface-level. This isn’t.
What is the ROI?
EAs who complete this course step into higher-impact roles, earn more, and are seen as critical assets to their executives.
Many companies fund this training—because they know an empowered EA improves business performance across the board.
If you want MORE THAN SUPPORT, this is FOR YOU

Why now?
Every month you spend in reactivity mode, figuring things out alone, is lost career progression.
The next cohort starts June 4th 2025.

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?
Because that doesn’t create a high impact business case that will resonate for the person you support.
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.

WORK WITH ME and learn what NO ONE ELSE is teaching.
Proven Expertise in High-Stakes Environments
I've worked across Australia, the UAE, the UK, and Asia, navigating the kind of high-pressure, high-visibility challenges that define careers and companies:
Significant economic downturns – Recession, GFC, pandemic fallout
High-profile corporate crises – Litigation, reputation management, governance failures
Royal Commissions & Senate Inquiries – Operating under the highest levels of scrutiny
Pandemic response & large-scale restructures – Rapid pivots, resilience-building, organisational transformation
IPOs, acquisitions, delistings, leadership transitions – Supporting executives through change at the highest level
This isn’t textbook knowledge. This is real-world, high-stakes, business-critical expertise.
Elite Training Backed by Experience
I've trained and mentored thousands of executive assistants worldwide through masterclasses, courses, and full team development sessions. My work spans a wide range of industries, sectors, and business models—public and private, from multinational corporations to high-growth startups.
The assistants I train don’t just keep up—they lead, reshape their roles, and redefine their careers.
A Unique Skill Set
Strategic Insight & Business Acumen – Teaching EAs how to think like executives, not just support them
High-Performance without Burnout – Helping professionals operate at peak levels without sacrificing themselves
Certified Wellbeing Practitioner – Ensuring sustainable success through resilience and self-mastery
Trauma-Informed Leadership – Creating safe, culturally sensitive, high-trust learning environments that support genuine growth
Why Work With Me?
Because the difference between being good and the benchmark of excellence isn’t in the admin tasks.
It’s in the intangibles—the executive presence, strategic thinking, and influence that take an entire career to develop. Most training misses the mark, teaching the ‘how’ but never the ‘why.’
And that’s why careers stall. Why confidence takes a hit. Why the earning potential of so many assistants remains capped.
The work I do is the missing link and my client’s results speak for themselves.
Promotions, pay rises, new career paths and increased influence and career confidence.
If you’re ready to move beyond support and step into business partnership, strategic influence, and lasting career impact, I’ll show you how.
