    As an EA I can say the most important tip is to take care of mental health. Make it a priority.

    This is excellent! I've been an AA for 2 years and recently promoted to the EA position, supporting the CEO. This is not flashy, but if you are an EA, you've got to listen to this. I had to stop and re-listen to several statements. Alicia covers the core principles that will make you a fantastic EA in any organization. I'm glad I found you Alicia, and will definitely watch again when I need some inspiration.

    Thank you! I was offered an EA role with my employer and I have never done this before. People have told me that I would be great at due to how organized I am. I am hoping so now that I am going to be doing this role.

    Thank you for this great video. I am a very confident EA, with my Executive and board members, and have been for 30+ years. When it comes to social events(dinners, Gala, etc.) that I am invited I lose my confidence as I feel that I am not on the same playing field as the board members. Do you have any suggestions on how to not be so anxious about small talk?

    I was recently told I would be assisting as an EA and I am finding it difficult to adjust as I am still expected to do tasks from my old position. I am watching these videos to find efficiency tips; I am physically tired.

    • @hericadecasas4512
      @hericadecasas4512 Před 3 lety +2

      Hey Beth, saw you just posted this and thought I’d give a reply. You can do it! My advice is to set boundaries in asking for a clear job description for what you will be handling. Being expected to do the full load of 2 jobs (or even 1.5 jobs) is tasking (and yes tiresome), it’s more efficient for the company to have you focus on one role that you prefer.
      💛👍🏻 Goodluck!

    • @acer4237
      @acer4237 Před 2 lety

      Assertive training, outline what you want to say with transition plan and stay focused when you meet with the boss. Transparency and boundaries are key
