4 Ways to Prove You’re Not Just Busy - You’re Essential
1. Track the magic, not the madness.
You’re already saving the day (and your Exec’s calendar). Start tracking it. Pick 1-3 things you crush on the regular, like hours saved, emails triaged, or meetings optimized, and turn them into brag-worthy data points. Keep it simple. Keep it smart.
2. Data over drama.
You don’t need a fancy dashboard - just a spreadsheet, checklist, or even your Notes app. The goal? Show your impact without creating more work. (Because who has time for that?)
3. Drop data like it’s hot.
Next time you're in a 1:1 or performance review, casually say, “We saved 8 hours last month just by reshuffling your calendar.” Boom. Strategic partner energy.
4. Use your receipts.
Job hunting? Asking for a raise? Don’t just say you’re great - show them. Bring your numbers. Back yourself. You’re the reason things run smoothly, and now you’ve got the proof.

We wear a lot of hats as Executive Assistants, and most of what we do happens behind the scenes. But just because our work isn’t always visible doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we can better showcase that value.

The Importance of setting and achieving goals for Executive Assistants cannot be overstated. As an Executive Assistant, your ability to anticipate needs, manage tasks, and support organizational objectives is critical - but equally important is taking control of your own career trajectory.

Notion
If you're looking for an easy way to start tracking your KPIs, Notion is a flexible and user-friendly tool that can help. You can set up a simple dashboard to log tasks completed, time saved, meeting prep, or any other data points you want to track. It’s a great option for Assistants who want to organise their performance data in one place without needing a complicated system. You can also include qualitative notes and feedback alongside your metrics, making it easier to reflect on your progress and prepare for performance reviews.

This week, your challenge is simple (and powerful): choose one thing you already do that makes a difference, and start tracking it. Just one KPI. That’s it.
Why it matters:
✅ It helps make your invisible work visible.
✅ It gives you something concrete to bring to your next 1:1 or review.
✅ It builds a habit of thinking in outcomes, not just tasks.
Need a starting point?
Pick something easy to measure and tied to your day-to-day:
- Time saved by rescheduling or removing meetings
- Number of emails triaged or handled on behalf of your Executive
- Tasks completed this week and the outcomes they supported
- Prep work done for meetings (agendas, briefings, follow-ups)
What’s the one KPI you’re starting with? Let us know in the EA Campus Community so we can share ideas, track progress, and celebrate your impact!
