Make the case for your employer to pay

Many EAs get their organization to fund this program. Here's exactly how to do it — with a step-by-step guide and a ready-to-send email template.

Frame it as a business investment

Your employer is more likely to approve training that has a clear business case. Frame the ask around the impact on your executive's effectiveness, not your personal career growth.

Connect it to your current role's gaps

Reference a specific challenge you're facing — managing priorities, communicating across the organization, navigating the executive relationship — and explain how this program addresses it directly.

Share the deliverables, not just the modules

Showing your manager the six deliverables (the Executive Profile, the Triage Matrix, the Communication Toolkit) makes the ROI tangible. These are tools you'll use at work.

Common Objections

"We don't have a training budget right now."

At $497–$797, this is significantly less than most corporate L&D programs — and delivers tools your EA will use at work immediately. The Executive Profile & Working Agreement alone saves hours of executive time per week.

"We already provide training through HR."

Most organizational EA training covers tools and scheduling tactics. This program addresses the strategic dimension — career growth, executive relationships, and influence — that standard HR training rarely touches.

"What's the ROI?"

The program includes six deliverables your EA brings back to the role immediately. Notably, the Executive Profile & Working Agreement is completed directly with you as the executive — reducing miscommunication, last-minute changes, and wasted time.

"How much time will this take?"

Approximately 8 hours total, self-paced over 6 weeks. One module per week, roughly 80 minutes each. No impact on core working hours.
