Finding solutions and 'herding cats' was the key message in our little chat with Gemma Beggs this month! This one was developed to give some deeper insights into what's required to transition from EA to Senior Advisor. Working in the Victorian Government just 3 months has provided its challenges, but none that as so far ruffled Gemma.

Gemma moved from Canberra to take up this career opportunity and it she is super proud of demonstrating her skillset in stakeholder management, negotiation, time management and maintaining systems and processes successfully.

Whilst being motivated by her boss to continue to push ahead in her role, it was also the confidence to believe in herself and kick things up a little by building trust in those that she works with to continue to drive the things that she's keen to see developed in the office and her executive team.

I encourage you to connect with Gemma via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmabeggs/ and reach out if you have any questions, she is more than happy to have a chat with any EAs that are looking to progress to these roles and has a wealth of insights that can help!
