It’s the last day of the offsite and it was exactly what the team needed. The CEO pulls you aside to say, “Thank you. This was next level.”
Your secret? You used Offsite. They handled the venues, negotiations, and logistics – so you could focus on shaping the experience.
Sound too good to be true? It’s actually within reach. (And it can even save you money.)

September 27#395: Deasha Carter on Moving from Executive Tasks to Running Operations as an EA
In episode 395 of The Leader Assistant Podcast, I sit down with Deasha Carter, executive operations strategist and founder of House of Lynn Advisory. We discuss her journey across healthcare, legal, and tech sectors, and why understanding the "how" and "why" of a business is essential for assistants looking to step into strategic roles.
We also explore the concept of "diagnosis before design" to tackle actual operational bottlenecks rather than just adding new tools. Deasha also shares details on her upcoming Certified Operations Strategist credentialing program.

August 30#391: Assistant Habits: A Weekly Action Planner for Executive Assistants
The Assistant Habits Weekly Planner is designed to help you lead well through consistent action. In many ways, Assistant Habits is a rebirth of my very first resource for assistants: the 30-Day Assistant Challenge email course. That original course was built on a simple belief – that small, consistent actions compound into real growth.
Assistant Habits carries that same idea forward, one action at a time.
My passion is to help assistants like you lead well, resist burnout, and automate before you're automated. Every action in the Assistant Habits Weekly Planner reflects that mission and is practical, specific, and immediately useful on the job.
Are you up for the challenge?
