C-Suite Assistants

FEBRUARY 7, 2022

You don’t have to worry about their chores falling outside of their job description (for example, asking an executive assistant to shop for your spouse’s anniversary gift, or pick up their dry cleaning). An EA/PA manages the executive’s entire life. Because of this, they can more strategically and efficiently manage your schedule.

The executive assistant role requires a certain level of poise and initiative – traits that tend to be built up with experience. These are roles that can reasonably be picked up at an entry level, as long as the person has the key attributes to do them well. If you sign up for an executive assistant role, expect some pressure.

And as soon as they use that paper towel to clean it up and their mess is gone… they ball the towel up and throw it away. I don’t want to be a “paper towel admin,” who is only thought about when one of my principal supports makes a mess of something and needs me to clean it up! When they’ve made a mess. When they have a spill.

During the morning I could be in meetings discussing preparations for a press dinner in New York, catching up with one or more of the Management Team – that could be with the Head of Design or Merchandising Director. Then I usually pick up a piece of cake to share with my assistant Zoe back at the studio when we need a 3pm pick me up!

Over the last few years there are plenty more online communities and in more recent times we have taken networking to a whole new level with local networks, organised by assistants, springing up all over the place. Meeting other assistants who work near by, who share the same suppliers, hotels, restaurants etc. It is brilliant!

Tara and I took this episode’s theme to heart and made sure that portions of it were recorded in numerous locations: her office, my office, a local restaurant, and in Phoenix Arizona. (Scroll down to read more about our sponsor.). While we were out and about we had a terrific time and hope you’ll enjoy the varied locations, too.

Tara and I learned a LOT from this interview about considerations we should all realize when we are using the space, electricity, and wifi at cafes, coffeehouses, and restaurants for business purposes. One that sums up Karen's commitment to coffee excellence is this: "Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee."

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

For example, maybe if I needed car service, but my boss needs his morning coffee, you'll have the drive get the coffee at Starbucks for us first before pick up and charge us for it so my boss doesn't have to go in and wait in line. I once went to a new restaurant and got such impeccable service it was almost weird.

A roadblock in the office is a problem that comes up and on first glance makes you think you are not going to be able to move forward. They will normally try to help you come up with a solution if you explain what happened. Construction Ahead: Planning ahead helps you anticipate last minute things that might come up.

A massive family trip to Mexico, where I still kept up with my journalling habit and my routines along the way. I managed to read The Alchemist and The Rise while down there for ten days and swam with dolphins. So around this time I committed to using two tools for task and project management. MUCH longer. I turned 41.
