There are dozens of blogs and resources for assistants today, but not many have been around as long as Practically Perfect PA, and even fewer publish content on a consistent basis.
In this episode, you get the honor of hearing from Nicky Christmas – the woman behind the Practically Perfect PA movement.
We talk about side hustles, productivity for assistants, the nuances between a PA title in the UK and a PA title in the US, what to do if you’re romantically or sexually attracted to your boss, and why she pretends to be Beyoncé.
Nicky and I have partnered together several times and I’m very excited to have her on the podcast!
LEADERSHIP QUOTE

About Nicky Christmas
Nicky Christmas launched Practically Perfect PA in October 2011 and it has since grown to become one of the most popular blogs for Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Office Managers and Administrative Professionals at all levels of business seeking support, information and guidance in their chosen profession.
Since 2015, Practically Perfect PA has also organized events for the Assistant profession, including the annual Future Assistant Conference, which sold-out the last two years.
In 2017, Practically Perfect PA launched the very first virtual summit for Assistants through an innovative crowdfunding campaign. That summit attracted over 500 PAs and was widely regarded as a game-changing event within the industry.
When not working on Practically Perfect PA, Nicky enjoys everything living in Barcelona has to offer, including good red wine, the beach and attempting to run along it as often as she can.
Nicky has two young sons, Brodie and Beau, who keep her busy (and tired) and a wonderfully supportive partner, William, who is the CEO of Practically Perfect PA.
