Career

The value of teamwork, is it really understood by Executives within the EA/PA – Exec relationship? Do they really see the role as a key partnership or will administrative professionals around the world always be fighting to be seen and heard for the impact they can make only IF they are given the opportunity to do so?

If asking for a promotion or pay rise has been on your mind lately (or even over the last few months…) take a look at our guide below to give your confidence a boost and kickstart the process of receiving exactly what you know you are worthy of!

So if you’re looking to build your confidence, where should you focus your time, effort and energy for the best outcome? We spoke to 5 members of the business support community to understand how they have developed and how they maintain their confidence and their top tips for you to begin your own journey into being a more confident version of yourself.

Receiving an offer for a new job is an exciting time in anyones career and that is no different for every PA and EA. The trouble however is that unlike most professionals, business support professionals leave for much different reasons.

As we turned 5 this year and have survived 2 years of the pandemic, we decided to go back to the beginning and speak to our Founder ad Managing Director Jess.

In a recent survey we opened to Personal and Executive Assistants around the world, over 2000 business support professionals answered ‘As a PA/EA, what are some common misconceptions that you have either heard of or experienced from others regarding your role?’ The answers did not surprise or shock us…and not in a positive way.

Following on from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, office life has changed beyond measure and if you’re a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant or Business Support Professional; then more may have changed for you than for most.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it so many changes, many of which occurred almost overnight.

Do people confuse your role of successful business support professional with the profile of office scapegoat?

So, you’ve found yourself overwhelmed and on track to burnout. Whether you said yes to too many projects or simply cannot find a routine that keeps you accountable –– we’ve all been there.

Learn what it takes to be Business Support Professional in one of the most fast paced industries in the world.
