Impresario Lifestyles Celebrity Personal Assistant Workshop a Phenomenal Success!

Impresario Lifestyle launched its professional development division with a dynamic, interactive workshop entitled Celebrity Personal Assistant to the Stars. The workshop is designed to teach administrative professionals the essential skills for success in launching a celebrity personal assistant career.

(PRWEB) August 28, 2004 -- The celebrity personal assistant workshop, held on July 20, 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia, was attended by individuals from all over the United States, including New York, California, New Mexico, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

All-Star Panelists, Shae Smith, former personal assistant to MLB player Gary Sheffield, and Ben Maner, security manager to A-list celebrities: Jay-Z, Eve, and Lisa Raye, dialoged with workshop attendees on topics like a day in the life of a celebrity assistant", celebrity safety and security, and gave a "beyond the red carpet" view of the world of sports and entertainment.

Workshop segments covered key celebrity assistant tools for success including, managing the households of high-profile individuals, personal shopping for the affluent, personal assistant ethical dilemmas, and time management. The workshop concluded with a segment on interviewing skills and resume essentials. Attendees were awarded with a certificate of completion to present to prospective employers and receive priority consideration for personal assistant job openings with our celebrity clientele.

Khali Thornton, workshop administrator, says The success of the workshop exceeded our highest expectations. We are thinking of expanding the panel to include image and style consultants, entertainment attorneys, and conducting mock interviews to offer a broader training experience. Were also planning to expand our training courses to offer more targeted instruction in various areas of celebrity assistant professional development."

"We knew the workshop would be a success." says MaShelle Epps, President & CEO of Impresario Lifestyle. "Our focus wasnt on generating revenue or putting on a dog and pony show. We designed the workshop around one criteria: meeting the needs of the attendees and providing them with a solid foundation upon which to build a celebrity assistant career. Prior to the workshop, several attendees who had attended a celebrity assistant conference hosted by another agency, contacted us expressing their disappointment in the quality of information received. We wanted to make sure they would leave our workshop completely satisfied. We accomplished our goal."

Mary Johnson, a workshop attendee from North Carolina, said of the workshop, I walked away with much more than I expected. Thank you for providing us with so much substantive and valuable information."

Patricia Ann Reeves, another attendee who flew in from New York City to attend the workshop, says MaShelles magnetic personality and broad knowledge-base of the industry made the workshop not only informative, but fun. Im walking away with a treasure of wisdom. Thank you for equipping me to walk confidently into my destiny as a celebrity assistant."

Impresario Lifestyle has published a companion book to the workshop: Assistant to the Stars: Guide to a Great Career as a Celebrity Assistant. The book costs $24.95 and can be purchased on our website. To register for our upcoming workshop on October 21, 2004, visit: http://asst2thestars.mollyguard.com
