In a workplace full of noise, pace, and constant demands, many Executive Assistants lead in a quieter way — through calm, insight, preparation, and presence.
This session explores how introverts and quietly‑wired EAs can thrive without burning out or trying to be louder than what feels natural. We’ll unpack the power of quiet leadership, challenge common myths, and share practical ways to manage energy, stay visible, and lead with confidence. Quiet doesn’t mean less. It means thoughtful, steady, and powerful.
SPEAKER:
Vestal de Waal is an experienced Executive Assistant with over 30 years of supporting senior leaders across financial services, healthcare, and international organisations. She currently supports senior executives within one of Africa’s largest non- banking financial services groups and the continent’s largest insurer.
Over the years, she has built a reputation for being calm under pressure, highly organised, discreet, and deeply reliable, with extensive experience in executive coordination, board pack management, stakeholder engagement, and complex travel logistics.
In her talk, Quiet Strength: Thriving as an Introverted Executive Assistant, Vestal shares insights drawn from lived experience — reflecting on the resilience, sound judgement, attention to detail, and quiet confidence that help Executive Assistants not only do the job well, but truly thrive in it.
Lead with Confidence and Presence
Many of us feel comfortable speaking on behalf of others, yet may feel less at ease when it comes to taking space ourselves. In this webinar, we explore how you can express yourself confidently and professionally — even in challenging situations — while strengthening your role as a strategic business partner within the organization.
You will receive concrete tools to communicate more strategically, use effective business language, and apply body language that reinforces your message.
Learning objectives: • Build confidence in taking space and expressing yourself clearly • Strengthen your professional presence through more precise business communication • Develop strategies to project confidence through both words and body language
We look forward to your participation in an inspiring and valuable webinar.
About the speaker: Shelagh Donnelly is an international speaker, trainer, and founder of Exceptional EA. With extensive experience supporting senior leadership teams at the highest level, she shares practical and forward‑looking insights for administrative roles. Her expertise in business communication and professional development is appreciated by assistants around the world.
Warm Welcome from Steering Group South!

IMA Connect – virtuell. persönlich. vernetzt. Unser digitaler Netzwerkabend für Austausch und Impulse
Mensch (Assistent/in), ärgere dich nicht. Konflikte verstehen und lösen
Missverständnisse, unterschiedliche Erwartungen, Zeitdruck: Konflikte entstehen oft schneller als gedacht – gerade dort, wo viele Interessen aufeinandertreffen.
Im Assistenzalltag ist das kein Ausnahmefall, sondern Teil des „Spielfelds“, auf dem täglich agiert wird.
In diesem Impulsvortrag zeigt Jessica Sanchez, wie sich Konflikte frühzeitig erkennen, souverän ansprechen und lösungsorientiert bearbeiten lassen – mit konkreten Beispielen und Impulsen, die sich direkt in die Praxis übertragen lassen.
Inhalte im Überblick
– Konflikte frühzeitig erkennen und einordnen – Spannungen klar und angemessen ansprechen – Gespräche lösungsorientiert führen – typische Situationen aus dem Assistenzalltag sicher steuern
Warum teilnehmen?
– Konflikte im eigenen Arbeitsumfeld früher erkennen – Sicherheit im Umgang mit schwierigen Situationen gewinnen – Gespräche gezielt in Richtung Lösung lenken – eigene Rolle im Zusammenspiel unterschiedlicher Interessen stärken – Austausch mit anderen Assistenzen zu vergleichbaren Herausforderungen
Referentin
Jessica Sanchez ist Wirtschaftsmediatorin und Arbeitgebervertreterin im Arbeitsrecht. Sie begleitet regelmäßig Situationen, in denen unterschiedliche Interessen aufeinandertreffen. Ihr Fokus liegt darauf, Perspektiven sichtbar zu machen und Kommunikation zu ermöglichen: klar, respektvoll und lösungsorientiert.

By attending this course, you will develop a deeper understanding of workplace interactions, communicate more clearly and professionally, handle difficult conversations with confidence, apply Transactional Analysis in your day-to-day work and strengthen your influence and effectiveness as a Management Assistant.

IMA Summer School: Agentathon Der Einstieg in die Welt der Copilot Agents
Während viele schon im Sommermodus sind, nutzen wir den Abend für einen Blick auf das, was den Arbeitsalltag gerade verändert: KI-Agenten und digitale Helfer, die wirklich entlasten können.
Assistenz bedeutet koordinieren, organisieren, mitdenken und oft viele Themen gleichzeitig im Blick zu behalten. Wie wäre es, wenn dabei digitale Helfer unterstützen, die genau zu den eigenen Aufgaben und Abläufen passen?
In diesem interaktiven Summer-School-Format zeigt Katja Beckmeyer von thinkworks einen einfachen und greifbaren Einstieg in die Welt der Copilot Agents. Gemeinsam wird betrachtet, wann sie wirklich hilfreich sind – und wo der klassische Copilot Chat an seine Grenzen stößt.
Außerdem lernen die Teilnehmenden Microsoft Agents wie Researcher, Analyst oder Prompt Coach kennen, die bei Recherche, Analyse, Strukturierung oder Kommunikation unterstützen können.
✨ Und dann wird es praktisch:
Es wird ein eigener Agent erstellt – abgestimmt auf individuelle Aufgaben, Abläufe und Bedarfe. Ganz ohne Technik-Kauderwelsch und ohne Programmierkenntnisse.
Der Fokus liegt klar auf:
Am Ende steht nicht nur neues Wissen, sondern auch ein konkreter digitaler Helfer, der direkt im Arbeitsalltag eingesetzt werden kann.
Ein eigener Laptop kann gerne mitgebracht werden, damit direkt mitgearbeitet und der eigene Agent erstellt werden kann.
Wann 20.07.2026 | 17:30 bis 20:00 Uhr
Wo Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl Französische Straße 8 10117 Berlin
️ Teilnahmegebühren IMA-Mitglieder: 29,00 € ANiD & bSb: 39,00 € Gäste: 49,00 €
