You finally did it—you hired an Assistant. You imagined that this would be the game-changer. But here’s the reality: If you don’t set this partnership up for success, you’re going to find yourself in the same cycle of overwhelm. So, let’s fix this. Here’s how to make sure the first 30 days with your EA set you both up for long-term success.

Listen up, executives: your business is not a one-man show, and if you’re trying to run it like one, you’re gonna get sacked. Hard.

Your business is a football game. You’re the head coach—calling plays, strategizing, and (hopefully) inspiring your team to greatness. Your Assistant should be your quarterback.

If you can “never seem to hire the right assistant”, this post is for you. Here are 5 ways you’re sabotaging success with your Executive Assistant.

Miscommunication in the workplace is like a silent saboteur, quietly undermining productivity, relationships, and job satisfaction.

But why does this happen? And more importantly, how can we prevent it?

Transitions in life are hard. They can be painful or joyous. They can cause anxiety or excitement. They can be unplanned or intentional.

AND THAT’S THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. STOP FIGHTING IT.

Listening can change our lives. It can change our relationships. Unfortunately, most people confuse listening with hearing, and the ability to sit and hear what the other person is saying. Those are not the same thing. The goal of listening is understanding, just as it is with communicating. And that takes some effort.

For many of us, our most immediate reaction when receiving negative feedback is to take it personally. We feel offended, or we become defensive, finding ways through which we can justify our actions or negate them altogether. However, receiving feedback, especially the one aimed at bettering us, is a blessing!

To err is human.

One in four employees dread receiving feedback more than anything else in their work environment. Why is this the case?

There are many contributing factors to why we may resist or even reject feedback. From our upbringing and external environment to genetics and biology, there is hardwiring inside us that comes built-in.

Have you ever been on the receiving end of bad communication?

Chances are you have and I’m guessing it didn’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Is there anyone you know that is absolutely terrible at communicating? How about someone that kills it at communicating? Have you ever wondered what makes these people different? Here are the four traits of a good communicator.

Do you regularly slap the hand of someone who is complimenting you?  I am raising my hand, if it helps.  I’ve been guilty of poo-poo-ing my own badassery in so many ways, it’s shameful.  Both professionally and personally.

I have also been guilty of giving not-so-great-compliments and feedback when needed. And why is that?

Our motives, our body language, and our state of being all matter when it comes to communicating effectively.

As humans, we need to learn how to communicate effectively with each other if we are going to continue to co-exist on this planet together.

As much of our communication is going online, my question for you is: Do you know how to communicate effectively via email?

If not, don’t worry, this is where I can help.
