Your Trainer

Lucy Brazier OBE is a name synonymous with world-class training for administrative professionals. To many, she is the voice of the profession globally.

As CEO of Marcham Publishing, specialist publishers of Executive Support Magazine, a global training magazine dedicated to the professional development needs of senior and aspiring administrative professionals, Lucy is passionate about ensuring the Assistant role is truly recognised as a career and not just a job.

Her formidable training expertise and speaking style have given her opportunities to train, present and emcee events in more than 50 countries at over 450 events, including chairing the 2015 World Administrator Summit in Papua New Guinea and co-facilitating the same event in Frankfurt in 2018.

This has created much-needed discussions ranging from encouraging Executive Assistants to work towards becoming centres of excellence within their companies, to explaining why college students should see the Assistant role as a proper profession with a career path. The work being conducted worldwide on career paths, job titles and education for Assistants is one of her key drivers, and she is working with some of the most recognisable companies on the planet to consult on restructuring and training their Business Support functions.

Lucy has a unique overview of the role and where it is heading. She has access to the most forward-thinking, passionate and knowledgeable trainers and administrative business leaders in the world, as well as personally meeting and speaking to literally thousands of Assistants for more than a decade. Her knowledge of the market and what Assistants all over the world are facing on a day-to-day basis is second to none.

In 2021, Lucy was awarded an OBE (Officer of the British Empire) from the Queen, for services to office professionals. She has also received an Honorary Fellowship to the Institute of Administrative Management – one of the oldest management institutes in the world, having inspired professional business managers and administrators since 1915 – in recognition of her work to drive the profession forward.

The Full-Day Program

The role of the Assistant has changed beyond recognition. The press is full of stories about how the role is disappearing and we know that many of the task-based parts of the job are either being outsourced or taken over by artificial intelligence.

So where does that leave you?

Being an administrative professional has never been more confusing because the responsibilities have developed so fast. And you have never needed to prove your value to your business and what you contribute to the bottom line so categorically.

In this One-Day Masterclass, Lucy Brazier OBE looks at the role past, present and future to explain why it has developed how it has. She explores the opportunities this creates for you to become a true Business Partner to your Executive, including developing the partnership, establishing the ground rules, communicating, adapting to style & maintaining a great partnership.
