You love your work, but are feeling stagnant and stale.

Guess what...it's not.
...the workplace has turned upside down. Again!
Winging it doesn’t work anymore.
The On Demand Training Course For the World’s Assistants
Lifetime Access to Be the Ultimate Assistant On Demand
The global workplace has never been more complicated and is only getting more so every day. Assistants are the right arms to their executives, backbones to companies, and the face of the company culture. They are highly resourceful, resilient, creative, empathetic, and super smart. On top of that, they have advanced technology skills and finely tuned EQ, which helps them to read minds, and they are doing those things both in-person and remotely. How do they learn to do that?
Attend the Be the Ultimate Assistant On Demand (BTUA OD), an 11+ hour learning experience that dives deeply into soft skills and the hard skills essential to support leaders at the highest levels. Learn at your own pace with lifetime access to the videos and materials. You decide on the timetable.
The ROI of BTUA On Demand can be measured in improved productivity and hours of precious time saved for both the assistant and the leaders they support. It can also be measured by direct access to money-saving resources and strategies.
The On Demand course is based on the live, two-day workshop that has been taken by hundreds of assistants around the world since 2011.
BTUA On Demand is led by Bonnie Low-Kramen and Vickie Sokol Evans, MCT, who are two of the world's top-rated and most respected trainers and speakers. The BTUA workshop was featured in a Forbes cover story and was also named in the top 7 conferences to attend in 2019.
Bonnie and Vickie each have over 20+ years' experience and are both former assistants. They have trained Bill Gates' team, the staff at Parliament in London, and the planet's most influential and prestigious companies. Bonnie and Vickie ensure that Executive Assistants function as empowered business partners and, as such, are fully equipped to face whatever challenges come their way.
Since 2011, BTUA students have become Chiefs of Staff, assistants to CEOs, team leaders, and in at least one case, Debbie Furlano became Acting CEO of her company for six months. This is what her CEO had to say.
“Bonnie and Vickie offer top-notch training for assistants. They are the best in the business. Debbie was on fire when she came back from BTUA. I know that I am 2-3 times more profitable because I have my Executive Assistant Debbie Furlano by my side. No doubt.”
Gary Rabine, Founder Rabine Group, Illinois

Named in the Top 7 Workshops to Attend in 2019
In a world and workplace turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic, the landscape just got even more complicated and demanding. Even more is being expected of assistants, including the need to do their work as executive business partners remotely and virtually. Be the Ultimate Assistant On Demand is the training every assistant needs to not miss a beat as they go above and beyond every day.
Bonnie Low-Kramen: "This is the workshop I wished had existed when I worked for Oscar winner Olympia Dukakis as her Personal Assistant for 25 years. I wanted to be as great an assistant as Olympia was an actress. But how? I didn’t see the books or the classes to teach me. That’s why I decided to create them myself."
