Practical tips. Leadership development. Everything in between.
The Leader Assistant Podcast exists to encourage and challenge assistants to become confident, game-changing leaders.
Assistants have an enormous amount of influence as we manage the good, the bad, and the ugly in the life and work of our high-capacity, fast-paced CEOs, executives, pastors, celebrities, and politicians.
The question is, what will we do with our influence?
In this practical podcast for executive assistants and administrative professionals – hosted by yours truly (Jeremy Burrows) – my guests and I discuss a variety of topics including leadership, productivity, time management, how to avoid burnout, and artificial intelligence as it relates to the future of our role as assistants.
Are you ready to become the #LeaderAssistant the world needs?
