In my decade plus of experience as an executive assistant, I’ve come up with several tricks to a good system for setting up meetings that help me be efficient, helpful to others, and ultimately take control of my executive’s calendar.
In this episode, I take a break from interviews (don’t worry, the next few episodes are some great interviews with great people!) to share the following three tips to help you schedule meetings more easily.
- Add meeting blocks to your executive’s calendar (More in depth post on Ideal Week Templates here).
- Don’t let your executive schedule meetings.
- Don’t ask the other party to send options.
