Proactive, Thoughtful, and a Rockstar EA/EM

I see calendar management similar to playing Tetris. It is a puzzle that is challenging but enjoyable especially when you see a week properly scheduled with no conflicts.

Involves triaging and handling the email of the executive until it reached inbox zero. Also includes drafting emails and responses to be able to provide leverage for the executive.

My role as an EA is to enable the overall success of the executive. I do this by providing leverage, ensuring intent, and building fellowship for the executive.

Drafting job descriptions, creating screening tests, and doing interviews to find the right candidate that fits. Also conducting EA training for newly hired EAs.

I primarily work using dictations from the executive which saves us both time and effort in delegating tasks, emails, and providing feedback. Transcribing the dictations to ensure I am getting full context is a requirement for me to work effectively as an EA.

My English is not perfect but I am very communicative, sometimes overcommunicative.

Ensure that flights, accommodations, and transportation, are made in a timely and cost-effective manner. I also keep track of my executive’s travel preferences and requirements to ensure comfort and satisfaction.

Drafting compelling and persuasive written content. I do my best to create clear and concise messages that effectively communicate the goals and values of the executive and the organization.

My writing abilities, combined with my imagination and creativity, make me an effective creative writer and a valuable asset to my executive.

Part of relationship management is making sure that the quality of the executive's emails and documents is high as it projects the brand excellence of the executive. Proofreading ensures I am maintaining that high-quality standard.

Drafting short, impactful posts or content that effectively communicate a message or idea to enhance the online presence of the executive and the organization.

Having an excellence mindset enables me to keep my standards high and make sure that I am providing good quality outputs. Quality assurance is an application of that mindset which helps me in editing, drafting documents, and checking outputs.

Not my favorite task, but definitely a staple job an EA has to do. I ensure all information is correct and that I am providing it in a timely manner.
