Step Into Your Power: A Leadership Course for Executive Assistants
Executive assistants are great at supporting other leaders. But they often don’t know how—or are not encouraged—to tap into their OWN unique leadership ability. In this groundbreaking course taught by Fortune 500 CEO, Doug Conant, learn the same BLUEPRINT leadership development process we teach to C-Suite leaders and executives, customized especially for Executive Assistants.
You’ll leave with your own Leadership Model, practices for being more effective in work and life, and the tools to harness your unique skills to spread your influence.

Designed and Taught By Fortune 500 CEO Doug Conant & Inspired By His Longtime Executive Assistant, Diana Hansen
This course was inspired by a conversation between Doug and his EA, Diana (pictured to the right). She lamented that most of the professional training and development courses for EAs were purely tactical, e.g., teaching software skills or PowerPoint tricks.
There was nothing that helped the whole person develop as a leader, nothing that honored EAs’ capacity to contribute as a strategic partner and essential part of the entire organization. And that’s how STEPS was born. Doug was determined to adapt the same program he teaches to senior executives for administrative professionals.
Now, Doug’s unique 6-step BLUEPRINT process for transforming your leadership impact has been customized to meet the one-of-a-kind needs of EAs.
In the BLUEPRINT process, which is part leadership manifesto, part practical manual, Doug Conant teaches leaders how to work through six incremental steps to lift their leadership and make meaningful change in their organizations and in the world. Your boldest dream of success starts here.

Upgrade Your Leadership and Your Life
The Blueprint Leadership Process: 6 Steps
1: Reach High — Envision
Envision what success looks like to you and set the intention to do better. In this step, you will take your first crack at articulating your Leadership Purpose.
2: Dig Deep — Reflect
Reflect on your experiences to uncover your leadership beliefs and dig deep to uncover what makes you, you. In this step, you will uncover the life lessons that anchor your leadership and develop a deeper understanding of your unique personality and skillset.
3: Prepare — Study
Study to fill in all the cracks from your dig, laying the groundwork with all the learnings and insights from the world that exists beyond your personal experiences.
4: Design — Plan
The fun part. Using design thinking as well as thinking prompts, Post-Its, and pen and paper, conceive your Plan: an exquisite design for your personal Leadership Model, derived from your Leadership Purpose and Leadership Beliefs.
5: Build — Practice
Practice your change process. You will brainstorm small, actionable practices that you can begin to fold into your habits and begin to create your Practice Treasury, a stable of behaviors that will help you bring to life the leadership Plan you designed.
6: Reinforce — Improve
Improve, continually learning from what you did right and what you could have done better, reinforcing the strength of your Foundation in perpetuity. Here you will also work to align your personal leadership approach with the expectations of your organization.
