Ep59: Why You Deserve a Training Budget

In The EA Campus Podcast Ep59: Why You Deserve a Training Budget, host Nicky Christmas tackles one of the most important, and often most uncomfortable—topics for Executive Assistants: asking for a training budget.

Too many assistants hold back from requesting professional development support, fearing they’ll seem demanding, ungrateful, or replaceable. But the truth? Training isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. In this special Admin Week episode, Nicky shares the mindset shifts, strategies, and scripts that will help you ask for (and secure) the budget you deserve.

In The EA Campus Podcast Ep59: Why You Deserve a Training Budget, we cover:

• Why EA-specific training matters more than ever in today’s workplace

• The most common reasons assistants hesitate to ask for funding—and how to move past them

• How to make a confident, ROI-driven business case for training

• What to do if the answer is “no,” and how to keep the conversation open

• The tools, templates, and resources that make your ask easier (including our free Business Case Template)
