The Hierarchy of Estate Management
The title of "Estate Manager" has become a catch-all for all levels of household management roles. Our panel breaks down the key roles and each role's expectations of skills, education, experience, and compensation. We'll dive into the details that separate each level and help the audience to understand where they fit in.
Estate Management Education
While the career education of an Estate Manager never stops, many question where it begins. Peter Van Ryder provides a toolkit of skills and qualifications essential to the profession.
Getting the Job
Today's job market can be difficult to navigate. You need to know how to present yourself, what an agency is looking for, and how to politely press on when you're not getting the outcome you need. This expert panel covers what you need to know.
The First 90 Days
When you're starting out in a new role or at a new property, you need a game plan. Charles MacPherson has put together a playbook for your first 90 days.
Emergency Preparation Planning
Every estate needs and Emergency Response Plan to ensure that your principals, properties, and employees are safe from the hazards of a crisis event. While each locale may have unique situations, Chris Milu will share the essentials for developing your ERP and connecting with the resources needed to execute it.
Estate Manuals
Wondering where to start with an estate manual or how to update your existing manual? Marta Perrone draws on 30 years of experience to address key concepts: What is the purpose of an estate manual?, Who is your estate manual for?, What needs to go into it?, and options for digital systems.
Estate Management as a Business
For the estate management entrepreneur, there are several alternatives to being an employee. We’ll hear from 4 individuals offering estate management services who will discuss alternative careers in Estate Management.
The Great Debate : Hybrid Roles
You've seen the ads ... "HOUSEHOLD MANAGER / VALET / PERSONAL ASSISTANT WHO CAN COOK AND HAS EXPERIENCE WITH MACROS" (*this was a part-time job) ... These 'hybrid roles' have become increasingly more prevalent in recent years. Our panel discusses the pros and cons of hybrid roles, which roles can / shouldn't be combined and if the roles are sustainable, among other points.
