Show Notes Chapter Markers

Gary Ryan from Organisations That Matter, and author of the #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller "Disruption Leadership Matters - lessons for leaders from the pandemic" shares a conversation with Bonnie Low-Kramen, author of "Staff Matters - People-Focused Solutions For The Ultimate Workplace".

Bonnie was Academy Award winning actor Olympia Dukakis' Personal Assistant for 25 years. Bonnie learned extraordinary lessons about leadership and a people focused culture in her time with Olympia. In 2011, Bonnie created her business to train Personal & Executive Assistants, as limited training existed at the time. Bonnie's training includes enabling the Assistants to teach their manager how to best use their skills.

Having taught thousands of Assistants in 14 countries and 20 states within the USA, Bonnie has heard first-hand about the culture crisis that exists in many organisations. 

93% of Bonnie's attendees are women, and as such Bonnie has become acutely aware of the challenges that women and people of other non-male genders experience in the workplace. And it isn't a pretty picture. Thankfully, Bonnie has solutions that you won't want to miss, and I'm confident you will enjoy every second of this conversation.
