Being an Executive Assistant sounds complicated and hard. Can I really learn it?
I understand where you’re coming from! These limiting beliefs held me back from pursuing a career as an executive assistant for YEARS:
- I'm not detail-oriented enough
- I'm not smart enough
- But wait, I'm a people person, not a tech person
- The software feels too complicated
I get it! I used to think I couldn’t excel as an executive assistant because of these (and more) limiting thoughts. In reality, I struggled because I didn’t fully understand the comprehensive skill set required to effectively support executives and organizations.
Once I connected the dots on how to efficiently manage tasks, communicate effectively, and master the tools of the trade, my career as an executive assistant took off!
