The Leader Assistant Podcast exists to encourage and challenge executive assistants and administrative professionals to become confident, game-changing Leader Assistants. Assistants have an enormous amount of influence as we manage the good, the bad, and the ugly in the life and work of our high-capacity, fast-paced CEOs, executives, pastors, celebrities, and politicians. The question is, what will we do with our influence? My name is Jeremy Burrows. I’m a longtime executive assistant, speaker, coach, founder of LeaderAssistant.com, and author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller, The Leader Assistant: Four Pillars of a Confident, Game-Changing Assistant. In this practical and inspirational podcast, my guests and I discuss a variety of topics including productivity, time management, resisting burnout, leadership, and artificial intelligence as it relates to the future of the assistant role. Are you ready to become the #LeaderAssistant the world needs?

Customer Reviews
Great podcast for executive, administrative and personal Assistants
Jeremy carefully curates the best content for all types of assistants. The insights shared in each episode are very relevant, helpful and engaging for the admin audience.
All of his guests come from different backgrounds, have different experiences and offered a wide range of insights. I appreciate his interview style as he knows how dig in into a specific topic without making the guest feel uncomfortable.
I look forward to listening to new episodes, engaging, and learning from him and guests.
Actionable tips and resources galore!
After being a stay at home parent for 7 years, I went back into an EA role for a company and an executive that had never had an EA before. I was equally terrified and excited! I needed training, tips and resources which is exactly what I found in this podcast. I recommend The Leader Assistant podcast and book to assistants in my network.
Just started but good so far
I would be careful about language about executives. It’s always “he/him/his” assuming it’s always a man in “power”. Would encourage guests and host to be aware of gender bias.
