In this special Admin Week episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we’re exploring one of the most important (and often most uncomfortable) topics for Executive Assistants: asking for a training budget.
If you've ever felt awkward or unsure about asking for professional development support, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the mindset shift that turns “asking for permission” into “claiming what’s already available to you” - because training isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
We cover:
- Why EA-specific training matters more than ever
- The reasons assistants hold back from asking for budget—and how to move past them
- How to make a confident, strategic ask (with a strong ROI)
- What to do if the answer is “no”
- The tools and templates available to make your ask easier (including our free Business Case Template)
Plus, to celebrate Admin Week, we're offering 40% off all EA Campus online courses through April—the perfect reason to take that next step.
This is your moment. You deserve professional development, and in this episode, we’ll show you how to ask for it with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
