Executive Assistants - The Unsung Hero

The Unsung Hero. Let’s be honest, that is what today’s Executive Assistants should be known as!

My name is Allison and I have been an Executive Assistant (EA) for over 20 years. I decided to write this book to share my tried-and-true tips and tricks to help the day-to-day life of today’s Unsung Heroes! Why am I using the word unsung you might ask? How many times have you felt like your work benefits someone else, yet no one knows you are the one that completed or created it? There are times when your hard work is seen by the many, but very few know who is responsible – like an unsung hero.

What is contained in this book is advice, tips, and shortcuts that have been passed on to me by fellow EA's or things I have figured out on my own along the way. We are all in this together, so why not share our knowledge to make our lives, and the working life of our CEO, VPs, and Senior Managers, a little bit easier.

It does not matter what precedes the word “assistant” in your title; Executive Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Program Assistant, Office Assistant, and many more that might not even include the word assistant, you are in a supporting role that is forever and always evolving and changing. That is where this book comes in. Keep reading to get Outlook tips, calendar management tricks, board members and meeting management, and so much more.
