Definitive Personal Assistant & Secretarial Handbook
A Best Practice Guide for All Secretaries, PAs, Office Managers and Executive Assistants
"I am an entrepreneur/CEO, hiring my first executive assistant and and am not fully sure what to expect. I bought Sue France's books as they addresses important elements that I would have had to figure out as I go, such as acknowledging and mindfully developing the leadership roles associated with an exec assistant position. Already, I feel that learning curve has been cut in half! There are many tactical tips for the execution of this role included. I am using these books as communication/training tools for my new assistant and find them very useful! These books are the most relevant and practical for the needs of *today's* assistants and execs."

"A brilliant author with a deep understanding of human interrelations, who presents and shares her knowledge in a fascinating and at the same time quiet manner, which only a true professional can do. I've taken a great pleasure from reading the book for the first time."
Customer review
"We are very keen to include The Definitive Personal Assistant & Secretarial Handbook 3rd edition and the Executive Assistant & Managerial Handbook as part of the course material for our top PA and EA courses. What makes these books quite different is the positive messages being sent throughout that directly relate to helping all office professionals develop both themselves and their careers. They are full of useful hints and tips as well as solid deep thinking behind ideas, approaches and concepts such as how to keep on top of the day-to-day workload and how to maintain effective working relationships. As a result, our students have a lot more to offer their employers, are better able to cope with demanding roles and they can enjoy happier and more rewarding careers!"
