Speaking and Training
Book me for your next conference, workshop, or corporate training event.
As a career executive assistant, I understand what assistants go through and I’m passionate about helping them be the game-changing leaders the world needs.
I’ve had the opportunity to speak at administrative and executive assistant conferences all over the world, including Hong Kong, Thailand, and Germany.
I’m also the founder and keynote speaker of Leader Assistant Live, which hosts online and on-site events for administrative professionals.
Most requested keynote presentations.
Average length: 20-30min keynote + 20-40min of Q&A.
The assistant role is fluid. It’s unclear. It’s ever-changing. It’s not a clean cut and orderly role. It’s full of tension and change.
In this keynote, we’ll explore the following 3 keys to being a steady and composed Leader Assistant in the midst of change or crisis.
- Enjoy the process
- Entertain the worst-case scenario
- Embrace the tension
WARNING: This session is NOT for those looking for behavior modification. It is for Leader Assistants who want to go deep and uproot what’s holding them back from remaining steady in the storms.
Every week there are new articles about artificial intelligence and what it means for the future of work. Will robots take our jobs? Will software tell us what to do? Will assistants be necessary? No matter your opinion on the topic, it’s clear the world of work is changing. Are you ready to adapt and embrace the future?
This keynote dives into the topics of artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence, and how each impacts the future of the assistant role.
- Explore what assistants must do to prepare for the future of AI technology.
- Discover 5 ways to future-proof your career.
- See real world examples of how AI is handling tasks for employees today.
- Learn to develop your emotional intelligence.
On the surface, our lack of confidence in our ability to lead ourselves, lead our executives, and lead others holds us back from being game-changing leaders. But what’s the root behind why we lack confidence? Why do we take things so personally at work? Why don’t we have the courage to speak up and push back? Why don’t we see ourselves as leaders?
In this keynote, I’ll take an honest look at what holds you back from leading well, so you can be free to lead like you’ve never led before.
Are you suffering from burnout? If not, are you confident you would see the signs and know how to make drastic changes before you crash and burn? In this session, I cover how to recognize and resist burnout – before it’s too late.
I’ve experienced burnout first hand, and witnessed many executives burnout. In this keynote, I’ll walk you through what I learned and how to avoid making the same mistakes so you can lead well without burning out.
- Explore how to take care of yourself first, so that you can take care of those around you in a more effective way.
- Learn to recognize you’re on the path to burnout before it’s too late.
- Discover the keys to recovering from burnout and resisting future burnout.
This interactive session is for groups of assistants who would like to have an open discussion about anything and everything in my book, The Leader Assistant, or other topics related to the administrative profession. Sign up for an encouraging, engaging, and challenging “Ask Me Anything” conversation with your team.

Testimonials
Working with Jeremy has truly been a gift to our team. It has been inspiring to implement and watch many of our learnings take root and grow. There is a certain amount of vulnerability and authenticity amongst our group that was not present before. Our time with Jeremy is sure to make a real, lasting impression!
Susan C., Executive Assistant
What a great discussion my peer group had in our session with Jeremy! In the 11 months I have been at my new employer, it was by far the most relevant, productive dialogue about our work, our struggles and how we can help ourselves and each other. Jeremy’s book was the steppingstone to getting us there and I hope we never go back. Thank you for kicking it off for us! The group appreciated your style – you are “one of us.”
Whitney K., Executive Assistant
Jake G., Executive Assistant at LiveRamp
Jeremy’s session was absolutely amazing. Our team went into breakout sessions really inspired and ready to make some much needed changes. We now have a huge list of ideas and actions in the pipeline!
Whitney D., Executive Assistant
Jeremy’s content is spot on!!! It’s refreshing hearing someone who advocates for assistants and really helps paint the picture of why we are so valuable.
Alyssa S., EA at Splunk Inc.
Having Jeremy speak to our team about Leading in the Midst of Crisis was so incredibly beneficial. Like most companies in the tech space, we’re going through constant change. By talking about looking inward and controlling the controllables – your own reactions and your own worth – he’s given us the tools needed to feel more secure in our roles and the ability to be true game changers.
Senior Executive Assistant
Your content has been life changing! It gave me the confidence to apply for a recent job opening at my current company to be the next Senior Executive Assistant to our CEO, and I found out yesterday that I GOT IT!!! I’m excited and nervous about this new opportunity but know I’ll be an amazing Leader Assistant if I continue to learn as much as I can, and follow your lead. Thank You, Jeremy!!!
Taneel M., Executive Assistant
I left the Leader Assistant Live event feeling very empowered! I now truly feel like I am not just an assistant, I’m a Leader Assistant.
Jim Kelly, Michael Hyatt's Executive Assistant
I thoroughly enjoyed my podcast interview with Jeremy. Jeremy knows from personal experience, and from listening to others in the industry, what it means to be a rockstar executive assistant.
Danielle L., Senior EA
Words that immediately come to mind after having read Jeremy’s book and hearing him speak: passionate, thoughtful, inquisitive, mind-blowing, catalyst, leader, game changer, and humble.
I recently hosted my first EA Summit for my organization’s EA team, and Jeremy was our first guest speaker. Jeremy’s session challenged and encouraged us to become Leader Assistants and true game-changers, and we were inspired to apply the tactics and lessons learned.
Jeremy, you awakened our minds, and now it’s GO TIME! Thank you!
Jeremy is the real deal — he was “walking his walk” way before he ever thought about “talking his talk.” Over the past eight years running my own business, Jeremy has been a great resource and has often challenged me with words of wisdom regarding the best and highest use of my time. I am not sure there is someone on this planet who better understands not just the role and best practices for being a leader assistant, but who can articulate the how’s, why’s, do’s and don’ts so effectively.
