This was a really engaging and well thought-out course on how we as PAs/EAs can take our leadership skills to the next level and how we can empower ourselves and develop black belt prowess in our every day working lives. It was full of new and positive insights into critical thinking, management styles, mentorship, power and influence. I would very much recommend this course, if only to hear Lucy's tremendously inspirational speaking style and nuggets of wisdom.
