When Your Executive Leaves
When your Executive leaves, it can happen in different ways. Each situation looks slightly different, but the impact on you, as the EA, can feel very similar. In this article, we will explore what actually happens when your Executive leaves, what to focus on in those first few days, and how to protect your role.
Why Filtering AI Workslop Is Becoming a Core EA Skill
In this article, we will explore what makes an effective Executive brief in practical terms, grounded in how our days actually run. We will look at a structure you can rely on, how to apply it across daily updates, weekly rhythms, and quarterly planning.
These are the kinds of tools they usually mean. Practical tools that help us get through a busy week. Below are ten AI tools EAs may not know about yet that are worth exploring if you enjoy experimenting with new tech in your role.
In Ep96 of The EA Campus Podcast, we explore Agile Working and how it can be adapted for the EA role. We break down what Agile working really means in practice and how you can start using it straight away in your role.
Ep95: Building a Career as an EA. Culture, Confidence, and Creating Opportunities
In Ep95 of The EA Campus Podcast, Nicky Christmas sits down with experienced Executive Assistant Ronié Williams to talk about what it really looks like to build a long-term career in the EA role.
Ep94: Working with Executives Who Think Faster Than They Communicate
In Ep94 we talk about how some Executives think very quickly. Ideas arrive mid-conversation, instructions come in half-sentences, and priorities can shift between one meeting and the next.
Many Executive Assistants support their leaders with presentations. That might involve reviewing slides, helping shape the message, or preparing materials for important meetings and events. In this session, Peter Taylor, also known as The Lazy Project Manager, shares practical ways Executive Assistants can help busy executives deliver stronger, clearer, and more engaging presentations.

Wednesday 1st April No: 61 Your Exec has left the building. Now what?
