What if My Executive Has Never Worked With an EA Before?

21 minutes

Ever worked with a leader who has never had support before?

In this episode, I break down barriers to success when it comes to working with a leader who has never had an executive assistant. I talk about common challenges, and share clear tips on how you can guide your exec, build trust, and showcase your value (without losing your cool or your confidence).

In this episode, you will discover:

Why some execs struggle to let go of control, and how to handle it.

How to guide and educate your leader about what you’re capable of.

Simple ways to build trust and foster communication.

How to show your value, even when your leader doesn’t “get it” yet.

If you want to feel more confident and make a bigger impact with a brand new (and maybe clueless!) executive, this episode will help you get there.
