After 5 with Capital EA - Assessing the constructive criticism component of the role of an Executive Assistant, why does it feel so personal at times: Ms Clare Loney After 5 with Capital EA

We invited the lovely Clare Loney, a current Executive Assistant in the NSW Government environment to share with us her personal take on criticism. This topic is raised with us regularly and at times it's a matter of looking at our own space and situation's that are possibly affecting our work environment before we hit a potential 'breaking point'. Particularly when we operate in a full bucket most days.

I appreciated Clare's specific points raised such as separating her personal life from her professional life.

Clare shares her personal tips on how to overcome difficult times, including mindfulness, communicating your situation so that others can understand the space you're currently in, and why a simple cup of coffee/tea can make the world of difference to providing a personal update by not assuming your Executive and peers to read between the lines.

It's about having faith in yourself, not being afraid to speak up and getting back on the problem solving objective that makes us us at the end of the day! It's breaking down the 'blame barriers' as Clare states.

You can connect with Clare via LinkedIn here, she would be very happy to meet up or have a chat with her peers!
