S1 E8 - EA & PA Chataway with Con Conlon, CEO of Merit Group

Lindsay Taylor, co-Founder & Director of Your Excellency Limited Virtual Academy shares inspirational learning for the EA, PA and Administrative Professional in her podcast featuring top guests and stars in the Administrative Professional community.  

This podcast is Episode 8, featuring Con Conlon the CEO of Merit Group Limited, an information services organization. Con joins us from Chennai in India.  
 
 This Episode is a slight digress from our normal EA and PA guests because we wanted to feature an Executive who speaks highly of the EA profession.  We had it on good authority that Con was the perfect person for this - and that he had some inspirational leadership stories that he would share with us too!
