I’m excited to share my conversation with Jess Gardiner, Founder and Editor in Chief of The Assistant Room, an online magazine for assistants.
Jess has a decade of experience as a C-Suite Executive Assistant, and shares several great insights in this episode.
We talk about AI and the future of assistants, why being an assistant is some of the best training for those who want to start their own business, ways to encourage men to embrace the role of an EA, what to do if you’re sexually attracted to your executive, not taking a job just for the money, and how to promote yourself without being annoying.
Enjoy and share this episode with your assistant friends!
