In this episode, Rachael delves into the critical issue of "toxic loyalty" in the Executive Assistant (EA) profession, using the recent news about Matthew Perry’s assistant as a catalyst for the discussion. Rachael highlights the complexities and ethical dilemmas that EAs often face, shedding light on the hidden challenges that come with the role.

Your work isn't who you are it's what you do ,and that's what we  dive into in this bite size episode on the concept of labels and how they shape our professional identities.

Too often, we define ourselves by our roles—entrepreneur, trainer, project manager, designer, CEO, executive assistant—without realising the limitations these labels impose.

Inspired by recent observations in her business and reflecting on her own corporate career experience, Rachael explores how these labels can box us in, restrict our growth, and prevent us from exploring new opportunities. 

You'll hear insights and actionable advice on:

1. Labels and Identity: Understanding the difference between what we do and who we are.
2. Breaking the Box: How labels can limit our growth and exploration of new opportunities.
3. Mindset Shift: The importance of maintaining an open mind and being willing to step out of comfort zones.
4. Potential Over Labels: Recognising and unlocking potential beyond the labels assigned to us.
5. Career Satisfaction and Burnout: How detaching from labels can lead to greater career satisfaction and prevent burnout.
6. Talent mapping and succession planning behind closed doors: what it takes to progress at work and be regarded as talent.

Join us as we challenge the labels, embrace our true potential, and unlock new possibilities in our careers and lives.  What might unfold for you if you thought about your potential a little differently?
