The Leader Assistant Podcast exists to encourage and challenge assistants to become confident, game-changing Leader Assistants. 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? My name is Jeremy Burrows. I’m a longtime executive assistant, founder of GoBurrows.com, and author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller, The Leader Assistant: Four Pillars of a Confident, Game-Changing Assistant. In this practical and inspirational podcast, my guests and I discuss a variety of topics including productivity, time management, how to avoid burnout, leadership, and artificial intelligence as it relates to the future of the assistant role. Are you ready to become the #LeaderAssistant the world needs?

In terms of downsides, it's difficult to find any major ones with this podcast. However, some episodes may focus more on specific industries or job titles than others, which might make them less relatable for listeners outside those fields. Additionally, while the episodes provide valuable insights into various aspects of being an assistant leader, it would be great to have more discussions specifically focused on developing leadership skills within an assistant role.
Overall, The Leader Assistant Podcast is an exceptional resource for assistants at all experience levels looking for inspiration, practical guidance, and a supportive community of professionals in similar roles. It consistently delivers high-quality content that helps listeners excel in their careers while fostering personal growth.
