Feeling overwhelmed, finding yourself being drawn into the minutiae when you should be looking at the strategy and future direction of your role/ function/ business?
Then this is the PERFECT time to hire an Executive Assistant.
The value that an Executive Assistant can bring is immeasurable on both a business and personal level. An Executive Assistant is so much more than someone to book a meeting or call a client. The Executive Assistant of today is driven to understand your priorities and pinch points. They are there to act as an extension of you. They are there to increase your productivity, to be a conduit for communication on an internal and external level and build company culture. As a gatekeeper, they talk to everyone and build relationships. They anticipate and solve problems for you. They take work from you and free up your time so you can focus on your priorities.
A skilled Executive Assistant is proactive, will seek out work, anticipate potential clashes and think independently. Requiring little or no supervision or direction, an Executive Assistant can be a role model to less experienced staff; encouraging them to gain new skills and knowledge. Ambassadorial, commercially aware, astute, and highly organised, the value that an Executive Assistant brings is immeasurable to you and your business.
