Customer Reviews
Great resource!
Thank you so much for putting out such great content, Maven! As someone who is pivoting into the OM & EA space, this series has been extremely helpful. I’m looking forward to more episodes as you build this community!
Bravo!
I can totally relate to Tanya in Episode 8. It was so validating to hear someone give a voice to the passion that I have for my job and my relationship with my boss. I can absolutely relate to her belief that being a true business parter makes the role more interesting to the EA and valuable to the executive. Tanya's role is a more formal version of what my own has organically grown into. I really appreciated her insight and advice. Thank you for providing a platform for a role that, when done well, is a rewarding and fulfilling career.
A Must-Listen for Anyone in Executive Support
This is a great podcast with host and guests that clearly understand and have lived through the challenges/benefits of executive support! Whether an Admin Asst pursuing EA role, career EA or those looking to grow out of position - All will find helpful input and encouragement here. I especially like the prompts on how to approach leadership regarding career growth! Highly recommend and will share with friends/colleagues
