Administrative work has evolved. The training hasn’t.
AI is removing repetitive work, but not replacing it with clear expectations. This series shows what the role now requires and how to deliver it in practice.
Led by Adam McNair
25+ years of experience as Executive Assistant/Chief of Staff across government, Crown, financial, and technology environments
I built Elevated Assistant from a strong belief that administrative professionals deserve development that reflects the real complexity of the role.
The Administration Series is focused on the skills that matter now: organization, follow-through, communication, judgment, and modern support practices, including practical use of AI.

Now Registering for June 18, 2026
Administration: Beyond the Job Description is the current live offering in The Administration Series and the recommended starting point for most participants.
This half-day, in-person session takes place Thursday, June 18 in Regina.
Session 1
Administration: Beyond the Job Description
Job descriptions list tasks, but they rarely explain how to perform those tasks well in a real work environment. This session teaches how to manage what happens between those tasks, handle interruptions, understand the context behind the work, and make better decisions about how the work should move.
About The Administration Series Training
What is The Administration Series Training?
The Administration Series is live, in-person training for people whose roles require them to organize, coordinate, and move important work through an office or business environment.
It covers the tools, processes, and technology of the modern office, including AI. Just as importantly, it deals with the part of the role that is often hardest to explain but most important to doing it well: judgment, foresight, communication, workflow control, and the office mechanics that shape how work actually gets done.
That is the part of the role many people are expected to figure out on their own. It is also the part that most often sits behind questions like, What do I do when this happens? or How do I handle this well? This training is built to answer those questions in practical terms, using the kind of judgment and real-world application that only comes from having done the work.
Why four parts?
The Administration Series is structured in four parts because stronger administrative performance develops in layers. Participants first build a clearer understanding of the work itself, then strengthen execution, improve anticipation and follow-through, and finally develop the judgment and context needed for higher-level support. And yes, AI is taught at every level, and in different ways relevant to the work.
Each session can stand on its own, but together they offer a stronger path for professional development over time. Delivered as a series, the training gives participants the opportunity to apply one layer in live work before building the next, leading to stronger retention, better transfer into the workplace, and more durable improvement in the role.
Who is it for?
The Administration Series is designed for people working in high-trust support roles where priorities, people, information, and time need to be managed with consistency, judgment, and follow-through.
It is a strong fit for administrative professionals of all types: Executive Assistants, Executive Business Partners, Administrative Coordinators, and others whose work requires them not only to complete visible tasks, but to help work move clearly, efficiently, and in line with leadership priorities.
What it improves
Work is better organized. Priorities are clearer. Communication is stronger. Decisions are supported with more consistency, and important work moves through the office with less friction.
Because the training is rooted in real experience, it helps people apply what they learn in live working situations, not just understand it in theory. The result is a stronger partnership between the executive and the assistant, and a more effective office.
Coming Soon: The Executive Series
A future offering for executives, senior leaders, and organizations who want to better understand how to work with executive assistants, clarify expectations, strengthen the partnership, and make better use of high-level support.
A four-part training series for modern administrative professionals grounded in real work.
Each session can be taken on its own, and together they offer a stronger path for professional development over time.
