How to Create SOPs That Actually Save You Time
In this article, we will explore how to create SOPs that actually save you time as an Executive Assistant, focusing on practical ways to document how you work so they support you day-to-day.
In this article, we will explore how this role has emerged and why it feels familiar to so many EAs, and we will look at what it means for how we think about impact, progression, and influence.
Confidence vs competence is one of the most misunderstood dynamics in the Executive Assistant role. These two ideas are often discussed together because, in practice, they influence the same decisions. How much autonomy is given to an EA?
In The EA Campus Podcast Ep90, we sit down with Alicia and Yvette, the creators of the EA Salary Survey, to explore how the report came to life and why having a large, representative dataset really matters.
Ep89: How I Decide Which AI Tools Are Worth My Time (And Which Aren’t)
In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we’re talking about how to decide which AI tools are actually worth your time as an Executive Assistant, and which ones you can safely ignore. If you’ve felt pressure to keep up with every new AI release, or you’ve tested tools that looked promising but never quite fit your day-to-day work, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we’re talking about perfectionism in the EA role. Where it comes from, how it shows up in day-to-day work, and why it can start holding us back rather than helping us do better work.
If you work in office management, operations, facilities, or as an Executive Assistant with operational responsibilities, this session will give you clear, actionable takeaways to support your development and help you better support your business.
