-A lot to read and take in, a good way to identify your own strengths and weaknesses professionally and personally. A good amount of practical, useful for a PA role information and exercises. The assignments are pretty easy to complete once you read and analysed the topic. For me, it is a great way for self-development and the way to get my mind off the daily routine. Pretty sure I will use the tips learned in my professional and personal life. Thank you, Lucy & the team. Kristina
