Fall Schedule Session

Executive assistants are no longer limited in their day’s work to managing calendars, expense reports, and travel arrangements. The scope of “other duties as assigned” has expanded to include everything from management of household staff and home renovation projects to personal scheduling and event planning, attending private meetings and serving as a family intermediary to designer and IT consultant. The intersection of the EA and PA professions—in title, in responsibilities, even just in skill sets—is where we can harness our strengths and deepen our relationships with our careers, our organizations, and our executives, but it all hinges on where and how we set and expand our boundaries. It’s time to talk about how we start taking things personally.
