“Bonnie has been a trusted mentor of mine for years, and I’ve repeatedly sought her advice and counsel when facing the recurring and seemingly insurmountable task of a compensation discussion with my executive. Consistently, Bonnie has framed my concerns and expectations in a series of questions that I’ve been able to answer in a way that guide my mental confidence and emotional assuredness to a place of realizing my true value—both qualifiable and quantifiable—so that I am able to ask for the compensation package I deserve. Since I began these discussions with Bonnie, every conversation I have had with my executive has led not only to the raise I asked for but also a recommitment to the understanding between my executive and me of the value I add to his life and the company as an executive assistant.”
Ike Saunders, EA to Christopher Kennedy, Chicago
"Successful people never stop learning; therefore, their progress is continuous. One person
whom I would describe as the embodiment of this idea is Melba J. Duncan. After nearly 10
years as my Executive Assistant when I was chairman and CEO of Lehman Brothers, and more than 32 years of private entrepreneurship, Melba has shown by example that accountability, adaptability, and ultimately indispensability are the keys to successful organizational relationships, and the basis of a formula for success in meeting the demands of the new global workplace."
Peter G. Peterson, Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus of The Blackstone Group
"My professional life blossomed when my voice joined the global conversation involving the administrative profession and Bonnie’s workshop was my first introduction. Providing the unique combination of truth-telling and inspiration for change, Bonnie coached on the value of assistants until I could articulate my own value in business terms with a return on investment for the company. The blunt truth and knowledge of the profession from the 1,000 foot view shared by Al-Husein Madhany matured my view of my value. During a one year period, I became the sought after assistant within my company, was requested by executives when they left the company for other pursuits, and negotiated my salary increase by a total of 31% ($22,500) over the course of that year. Understanding my true contribution and value to an organization has been transformative on every level."
Starlene Keppel, EA at General Dynamics, Virginia
"Bonnie, women like you make other women all over the world be stronger and believe in themselves. You encourage us to stand up for our rights and inspire us to act and move towards our goals. I now know how to solve the ‘money question’ with my executive and understand why I had a hard time with the conversation. No more. I’ve got this. Thank you."
Daria Afanasieva - EA, Moscow Russia
"Al-Husein is a captivating speaker who ignites a fire in hundreds of attendees in less than 3 minutes. I paid $1,800 out of pocket to attend an event because he was on the agenda. Al-Husein shares strategies and offers a framework so Executive Assistants can have a productive compensation conversation in the same language as their Executive, speaking in terms of ROI and impact on their org and the business as a whole. The mark of a great speaker is someone that moves you to action and Al-Husein does just that. He challenges you to take control, confront and walk through the discomfort, and write the next chapter of your professional journey. Since initially seeing Al-Husein last year, my ROI has more than 10x'd and this is only the beginning. And yes, this includes asking for and receiving reimbursement on my initial investment.".
Maggie Jacobs, Executive Assistant to the CEO, San Francisco, California, USA
