Academy course
Four pillars. 30+ lessons. Your pace.
The Academy course is built around the four pillars of a confident, game-changing Leader Assistant – the same framework from The Leader Assistant book, now taught through video lessons you can work through at your own pace.
Pillar 1
Embody the Characteristics
Explore the essential and game-changing characteristics of a Leader Assistant, and learn how to cultivate qualities like discernment, steadiness, confidence, humility, and a future-proof mindset that sets you apart.
Pillar 2
Employ the Tactics
Get practical, chapter-by-chapter guidance on the tactics that make assistants valuable – time and task management, calendar management, meetings, email, travel, professional development, goal-setting, negotiation, resume writing, and communication.
Pillar 3
Engage in Relationships
Your ability to lead is only as strong as your relationships. Learn how to network meaningfully with fellow assistants, build a rock-solid partnership with your executive, navigate coworker dynamics, and understand the dehumanization challenges assistants face – and how to rise above them.
Pillar 4
Exercise Self-Care
You can’t lead well when you’re running on empty. This pillar tackles burnout head-on – what causes it, how to spot it early, and five concrete antidotes to protect your energy and longevity in this role.
Plus: A bonus video replay of the workbook launch event to help you get the most out of your learning.

You’ve helped me fight against imposter syndrome, reminded me of my value… and equipped me to have the courage and belief in myself – despite the obstacles.
Having Jeremy as a coach is a game changer! I’m junior in my career and it’s a huge advantage to learn all I can about being an assistant from him.
I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude for The Leader Assistant. The principles, frameworks, and hard-won wisdom you packed into it are nothing short of brilliant.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about The Leader Assistant Academy.
What is The Leader Assistant Academy?
The Leader Assistant Academy is an on-demand, AI-powered, online professional development resource hub from longtime assistant, bestselling author, and podcast host, Jeremy Burrows.
How much is enrollment?
Enrollment is a single payment of $497.00 (USD). No subscription needed. No re-enrollment fees. You get exclusive access to the online course, Academy newsletter updates, AI Hub, Podcast+, and Ace – your 24/7 AI Agent who gets smarter over time. Additionally, you’ll get a 1:1 onboarding coaching session which would normally cost $200, but is included in the enrollment fee.
How long does my enrollment last?
You get lifetime access to the Academy resources. You read that right. Lifetime access – including future resources added to the Academy – all in the same platform you’re used to – Circle.
What’s the Circle platform?
Circle is the online community forum software we use. The Academy is hosted in the Leader Assistant Circle Community, so if you already have an account in our FREE community, you don’t have to log into a different platform to access the Academy. If you don’t yet have an account, it’s easy to sign up when enrolling in the Academy.
What is Podcast+?
Podcast plus (Podcast+) is a section in the Academy that includes all episodes of the podcast, including transcripts. It’s also where new episodes will be published early – before the public – so you can listen to new conversations before anyone else.
Additionally, Ace – your 24/7 Academy AI agent – is trained on the entire podcast episode library so you can ask Ace questions like, “Which episodes talk about AI for EAs?” or “Which conversations feature assistants to celebrities?”
Can I get more coaching sessions with Jeremy?
If you need more than the one coaching session included with the Academy, enrolling will get you access to discounted 1:1 coaching rates you can take advantage of whenever you’d like to book an additional session.
What’s the difference between The Leader Assistant Premium Membership Subscription and The Leader Assistant Academy?
Great question. The Leader Assistant Academy is totally separate from the Premium Membership.
The Academy is the only place where you can access Jeremy’s online, on-demand course digging deeper on the contents of The Leader Assistant book and workbook, and the unique-to-the-academy AI agent trained on the book, workbook, 400 episodes of the podcast, and the video course. You’ll also get streaming access to The Leader Assistant audiobook, and the Academy Newsletter – where Jeremy shares his creative writing and exclusive updates.
Alternatively, the Premium Membership is available via an ongoing subscription fee where additional thought leaders are brought in for training and development. A premium subscription includes access to the on-demand members-only library (featuring training videos like the recent session with Cortney Hickey, EA to CEO of Zapier, for example), and the members-only AI Agent.
