ACE SPEAKER SERIES Presents:

How AI is shaping the Administrative career.

with Rhonda Scharf -

Thursday - December 14, 2023 - For ACE Members and Invited Guests.

Join us as we explore AI and how Administrative Professionals will overcome challenges and embrace opportunities. One commonality enjoyed by Administrative Professionals is the constant exposure to fresh challenges. It's a refreshing change from the repetitive responsibilities like managing calendars, scheduling travel and meetings – even though we might grumble about the rapid pace of changes needed, we still appreciate the variety and problem solving that is required. It’s safe to say we might have a soft spot for repetitive tasks, yet the desire for diversity remains. The advent of Artificial Intelligence is compelling us to pivot our job approaches. Globally, Assistants find these shifts more anxiety-inducing than thrilling; the fear of the unknown future is magnified by the influence of Artificial Intelligence.

ACE Speaker Series welcomes:
Rhonda Scharf, CSP, HoF, GSF
Certified Speaking Professional, Speaking Hall of Fame, Global Speaking Fellow
Live via Zoom, December 14, 2023, 9:00 to 10:00 AM (Pacific)
How AI is shaping the Administrative career.

"I'm genuinely excited about the time-saving capabilities that AI can offer us. However, it's equally important to discuss the unique value you, as the Administrative Professional, bring and which machines simply cannot replicate." stated Joanne Linden, Founder of ACE. I’m extremely excited to announce our December 14th ACE Speaker Series guest speaker Rhonda Scharf, who will share guidance on how you can truly maximize your potential. During her presentation, we'll also delve into the ethical considerations and the potentially unsettling aspects of AI technology. Rhonda will also share practical tech tips to help Assistants adapt swiftly to changing trends.

AI is here to stay, and it's time to broaden our perspectives and peer into the future. Join the ACE Peer Learning Network members on December 14th, 9:00-10:00 AM PT, as we continue the AI exploration to becoming better equipped with knowledge, readiness, and a willingness to refine our skills and professional trajectories.
