Vanessa Nieman is a career administrative professional with over 25 years of experience. She worked her way from being a student assistant in her college years, to C-level support at larger organizations.
Vanessa’s career as an assistant chose her and then she came to embrace the role fully, but even more so in recent years as the support systems and networks for assistants have developed.
In the 100th episode (wow!) of The Leader Assistant Podcast, Vanessa shares valuable insight on getting the respect you deserve, saying no in a professional manner, and how to own your role.
Enjoy our conversation and be sure to check out Vanessa’s great article about resumes on LinkedIn here.
