These are not dramatic confrontations. They are practical, calm, well-timed discussions that remove guesswork and reduce unnecessary rework.You'll hear about:The “I Need Help” conversation and how asking early saves hours later The immediate feedback conversation that prevents small patterns from shaping your role The unclear expectations conversation that stops you from aiming at the wrong target The managing up conversation and why it changes how your week runs The mistake admission conversation and how it can actually build trust The salary and value conversation and how to prepare properly for itThroughout the episode, Nicky shares real EA scenarios and practical wording you can use, so you're not walking into these discussions hoping they go well.

In The EA Campus Podcast Ep 90, we sit down with Alicia and Yvette, the creators of the EA Salary Survey, to explore how the report came to life and why having a large, representative dataset really matters. We talk about the difference between small, skewed reports and meaningful data, and why transparency around respondent numbers is essential when you're making career decisions.We unpack the key findings from 2024 and 2025 across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. EA salaries are above regional averages in most areas; education does not automatically determine earnings; and only two specific benefits in each country truly move the needle on job satisfaction. Career progression, however, consistently impacts whether people plan to stay or leave.We also discuss hybrid versus remote working, peak earning years, and the gap between actual salary and salary satisfaction. One of the most important insights is that perception and progression often matter more than headline figures. Context is everything. Location, industry, and experience all play a role.Finally, we share practical advice on how to use the report properly. Read it carefully. Compare like-for-like. Use it as part of a strategic business case rather than a blunt instrument. This episode is about perspective, evidence, and helping you make informed decisions about your career. The EA Campus

In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we're talking about how to decide which AI tools are actually worth your time as an Executive Assistant, and which ones you can safely ignore.If you've felt pressure to keep up with every new AI release, or you've tested tools that looked promising but never quite fit your day-to-day work, this episode is for you.I'm sharing how I make decisions about AI from an EA perspective. Starting with the work we're responsible for, not the features being promoted. We'll talk about inboxes, calendars, executive prep, documents, events, and decision support. The real work EAs are doing every day.This isn't a tool roundup or a comparison episode. It's a practical conversation about judgement, focus, and choosing tools that reduce mental load rather than add to it.If you want a calmer, more realistic way to approach AI in your role, this episode will help you think it through.

197: What if the most underrated role in leadership is actually the one that makes everything run? In this episode of Executive Office Insights, Joe Davis (Senior Advisor, former Managing Director & Senior Partner, and North America Regional Chair Emeritus, BCG) and Mary Kate Steincke (Administrative Services Manager, former Senior EA) unpack what real executive support looks like when it evolves into true partnership. You'll hear how high-performing leaders and EAs build trust, decision rights, and a shared operating rhythm. The best support isn't "task help," but a strategic advantage that protects focus, energy, and outcomes. They also explore the leadership mindset behind great partnerships: mentorship without strings attached, honest feedback, and the human side of high standards—the kind of principles that shape culture and careers. Finally, they look ahead at how AI and modern tools are changing admin work, what will (and won't) be automated, and what skills will matter most for the next generation of executive support professionals. What to expect in this conversation: - Executive Assistant → Executive Partner: What makes the shift happen? - The leadership behaviors that create trust (and the ones that break it) - Career paths, titles, and what "progression" can really look like - AI, automation, and the future of the EA/admin function About Joe Davis Joe is a Senior Advisor at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and a former Managing Director & Senior Partner, where he worked for 37 years. He founded and is Chair of BCG's Center for Inclusion and Equity (CIE). He co-founded and later led BCG's Washington, D.C. office, and founded BCG's U.S. Public Sector Practice. Joe served as Chair of BCG North America, responsible for operations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. As Regional Chair, he advanced inclusion, diversity, and racial equity by launching BCG's Racial Equity Task Force, publishing BCG's first public U.S. DEI Report, and founding BCG's CIE (where he currently serves as Chair). His client work focused on the Consumer/Retail, Public Sector, and Organization Practices, primarily on fundamental transformations, change, and organizational effectiveness. Outside of BCG, Joe serves as Chair of the Whitman College Board of Trustees and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. Joe and his spouse Sarah have four children and eight grandchildren. He published The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain in April 2024. About Mary Kate Steincke Mary Kate is an Administrative Services Manager at BCG with more than eight years of experience supporting senior leadership and driving administrative excellence across the NAMR region. Since joining BCG in 2017, she has worked in Administrative Services—starting as an Administrative Assistant and later becoming an Executive Assistant and Senior Executive Assistant (plus Specialist-level roles)—while supporting Joe Davis, BCG's North America Regional Chair. She managed complex, high-stakes calendars, communications, leadership meeting rhythms, and onsite support for major regional events and executive visits. Her work ranged from strategic prep for leadership engagements to orchestrating multi-layered client meetings, regional town halls, cohort forums, and cross-office initiatives, with high precision and ownership. She's recognized for creating order, clarity, and calm, and supported large-scale operational efforts including COVID-19 response coordination, regional communications, digital signage programs, and leadership forums, while mentoring new administrative staff and shaping a cohesive cross-office experience. She built training initiatives for the NAMR Administrative Services cohort, including a new series on supporting BCG's Managing Directors and Partners that is now a Regional offering. Colleagues praise her grace, empathy, and extraordinary service orientation—calling her "Disneyland personified," a "BCG Rockstar," and someone who makes high-pressure situations "feel like a summer breeze." Today, as Administrative Services Manager for the NYC and Brooklyn teams, she continues to elevate administrative operations, strengthen team culture, and enable leaders and staff to work at their highest potential.

Inside episode 88 of the EA Campus podcast, you'll hear a conversation many Executive Assistants will recognise, even if we've never quite named it before. In this episode, we're talking about perfectionism in the EA role. Where it comes from, how it quietly shows up in day-to-day work, and why it can start holding us back rather than helping us do better work.As EAs, we care deeply about standards, accuracy, and getting things right, because our work affects our Executive's time, priorities, and credibility. In The EA Campus Ep88, we explore how those high standards can slowly turn into overthinking, hesitation, and unnecessary pressure, especially when every task starts to carry the same emotional weight.Inside The EA Campus Ep88We talk through what perfectionism actually looks like in real EA work. From delaying low-risk decisions, to rechecking work late in the day, to holding things back for one more sense-check when the context is already there. This episode also looks at how judgement really develops in the role, not through getting everything right the first time, but through making decisions, seeing how they land, and adjusting next time.If you've ever felt tired by your own standards, or noticed that being “careful” sometimes slows things down more than it helps, The EA Campus Ep88 will feel familiar, practical, and reassuring.

In The EA Campus Ep87, we're talking about something that sits at the heart of the EA–Executive relationship. Decision-making, and knowing when to act without constantly checking in.As Executive Assistants, we're expected to move work forward, protect priorities, and reduce pressure on our executive. In The EA Campus Ep87, Nicky Christmas explores how judgement, problem-solving, and clear processes help EAs build trust through everyday decisions.This conversation is grounded in real EA work. Inbox management. Calendar decisions. Priorities. Access. The moments where you pause and wonder whether to decide or check in.You'll hear why over-checking often creeps in, even for experienced EAs, and how executives actually experience repeated confirmation requests. In The EA Campus Ep87, we look at how trust is built through consistency rather than big moments.Nicky shares practical ways to strengthen your decision-making using context, past experience, and an understanding of what genuinely moves work forward. This includes what to do when a decision doesn't land as expected, and how to recover without retreating into over-checking.One of the key themes in the episode is what changes once your Executive fully trusts how you think and work. Autonomy increases. Your role becomes clearer. You're managing work end-to-end rather than relaying decisions.We also explore how this level of trust affects influence. You're involved earlier. Your recommendations carry more weight. Others begin to see your role differently because of how consistently you operate.Beyond the relationship itself, The EA Campus Ep87 looks at how confident decision-making shapes your day-to-day work. Fewer check-ins. Clearer ownership. Less second-guessing. More focus on solving problems that matter.If you're an EA who wants to feel more confident making decisions, especially in fast-moving or high-pressure environments, The EA Campus Ep87 will feel very familiar.We also reference current EA Campus training throughout the episode, including our Virtual Summit on 27 January and upcoming AI masterclasses in January and February, all designed to support better decision-making in real EA workflows.

Clarity around responsibility.This episode is about the day-to-day reality of the EA role. The tasks that quietly creep in. The decisions you're expected to make without authority.

194: How Executive Assistants can turn daily support work into hard numbers that lead to real raises. In this conversation, Elizabeth Sutkowska (based in Gdańsk, Poland) breaks down a practical way to negotiate your EA salary with data, using an EA ROI Calculator that tracks time saved, cost avoided, and the business impact leaders actually understand. If you've ever heard "your salary is fair," this is the exact mindset (and method) that flips the script. We also go beyond compensation and dig into the bigger picture of modern Executive Support: - From Au Pair → Hospitality → Corporate EA: how a non-linear career path builds the real skills top executives need (pressure handling, service excellence, business instincts, communication). - Executive Assistant in Poland: why the role is often underestimated, how stereotypes still shape expectations, and what needs to change for stronger recognition and career growth. - EA vs Chief of Staff: an honest take on titles, responsibilities, and why many EAs already do "CoS-level" work, without the label. - Community & visibility: why Elizabeth founded the Assistologist to elevate the profession through representation, education, and a "Polish roots, global mindset" approach. - Plus a few human moments (work-life balance, habits, and the funny IKEA/Swedish candy confession). This episode is packed with tools, perspective, and confidence boosts you can apply immediately. Drop a comment: Have you ever been told your salary is "fair"? What did you do next?

What do you do when doing the right thing gets you fired?That's the question at the center of this conversation with Keith Leverentz. Keith started his career as a high school science teacher before being recruited into a captive financial firm. He quickly became the number one producer in the organization—but he was doing something most advisors weren't. He was putting clients first, even when it meant recommending solutions that were less profitable for the company.In 2012, that decision cost him everything. He lost his business, his clients, his niche, and spent a season wondering if he'd ever get back on his feet.Keith didn't just bounce back. He rebuilt—this time with intention. Today, he leads a 25-person firm that's on pace for more than $65M in new assets this year. He's done it by building a real team, integrating his entire family into the business, and putting purpose, generosity, and client outcomes at the center of everything.If you're a founder who's been knocked down—or you're carrying a weight that feels heavier than it should—Keith's story is a powerful reminder of what's possible on the other side.3 of the biggest insights from Keith Leverentz…#1.) The Cost of Doing What's Right (And Why It Paid Off Later)Keith was the #1 producer in his captive agency — until he refused to sell products that weren't in his clients' best interest. That decision got him fired. Keith explains the ethical dilemma that forced him out, the fear and isolation that followed, and how starting over with nothing eventually led to building a 25-person firm. If you've ever felt tension between growth and integrity, this part will hit close to home.#2.) Why Most Advisors Feel Overwhelmed (And How to Fix It)Keith explains why hiring an Executive Assistant dropped his stress by 40% — and why this role is one of the most overlooked leverage points in advisory firms. He also breaks down a hard truth about his own business: the org chart was “a mile wide and an inch deep.” This section is a masterclass on why founders become bottlenecks, how poor structure slows growth, and what it actually takes to scale beyond yourself.#3.) Why Undercharging Holds Advisors BackKeith shares how he realized he was undercharging — and why raising fees actually improved client outcomes instead of hurting relationships. You'll hear how expanding planning capabilities, trusting a bigger team, and clearly communicating value allowed him to move up-market with confidence. If you're worried about fee pressure, higher-net-worth clients, or whether you're “ready” for the next level, this section reframes the entire conversation.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/148FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

How do you become indispensable to your athletics department and athletics director?    Charity Anderson, Assistant AD for Scholar-Athlete Success at UC San Diego, joins 1Q's Steph Garcia Cichosz to offer insight into this question after serving for five years as an Executive Assistant to then-Tritons AD Earl Edwards. Anderson discusses the impact of collaboration and how she remains compassionately curious while staying rooted in her core values.   00:00 - Introduction   01:24 - You've been with the Titans for six years, including five years as executive assistant to the great Earl Edwards. You have a background in sports psychology and you have experience working directly with athletes, including as a SAAC advisor. Walk us through your journey to San Diego.   03:52 - You said you had aspirations to be a sports psychologist - where did that come from?   06:57 - So in the ecosystem of athletics, you wanted to support the holistic, whole person side of an athlete - rather than serve as a coach or agent.   09:00 - Where does the executive assistant side come into this story? How do these puzzle pieces fit together?   12:05 - There are three pieces to your puzzle: your sports psych background, your high level of emotional intelligence, and your organizational capacity. What advice do you give aspiring senior leaders who hope to recreate their own version of this?   15:29 - What was the moment for you when you realized you were living your truth?   18:07 - Respect and trust… when did you trust the senior administrators around you, in that they were taking your perspective and your feedback seriously and truly incorporating your perspective?   21:57 - Do you feel pressure to be an AD or do you feel you can be the most effective from behind the scenes?  - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M.

In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Kim DeMoss - Retreat Ranch's Executive Assistant, Yoga Teacher Training host, and long-time retreat collaborator - to talk about what it's really like to experience retreats from both sides: hosting and supporting. From her early days hosting retreats with Shannon to now managing the logistics behind the scenes, Kim shares candid insights on burnout, boundaries, work-life balance, and how she found her groove in the retreat industry. They also dive into the digital evolution of the industry - how AI and online visibility are reshaping the way leaders must market their retreats - and why self-awareness is key to finding your place in this ever-changing landscape. Whether you're leading retreats, supporting them, or figuring out which role fits best, this episode will give you real-world perspective, practical advice, and a reminder that your version of success doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

The retreat industry is evolving fast with AI and digital marketing — adapt or find your unique niche.

Through the strategic use of her executive assistant.   Listen in this week as Anna breaks down why your EA is not an administrative nice-to-have but part of the core infrastructure of scale.

In this episode, Molly reveals how to scale from assistant to asset by transforming your Executive Assistant into a true strategic partner through smarter delegation and intentional development. She outlines how structured KPIs, weekly strategy check-ins, and vision-casting exercises evolve your assistant from task support to firm leader—protecting your time, amplifying your impact, and sustaining long-term growth. Key Takeaways: Implement ongoing, intentional training that shifts your EA's focus from task execution to owning measurable outcomes. Hold weekly check-ins that go beyond to-do lists—fostering open dialogue, alignment, and shared accountability toward firm-wide goals. Assess your EA's full potential and strategically delegate higher-level responsibilities that free up executive bandwidth and drive firm growth. Position your EA as a true firm leader through continuous learning, strategic vision exercises, and empowerment-based mentorship. Protect your hiring investment by supporting ongoing education, integration, and leadership opportunities that ensure lasting success and scalability. Quote for the Show: "Anyone can hire help, but you didn't just hire help, you hired someone to take ownership to get your business in your life and their bones in their blood to protect your energy." - Molly McGrath   Links: Join our December Masterclass: https://thelawfirmleader.com/ Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/p39WTA279ug 

In this episode, Molly breaks down how to onboard an Executive Assistant without chaos, confusion, or costly rework by transforming the way leaders transfer responsibility. She breaks down her Teach–Show–Do–Go–and–Grow™ method, revealing how to shift from ad-hoc task dumping to intentional leadership development. You will learn how shadowing, quick huddles, and clear context can turn an EA into a proactive leader rather than just a task-doer. Key Takeaways: The Teach, Show, Do Go and Grow method is a transformational onboarding strategy that builds trust and leadership within firms. Immersive shadowing during an EA's first week enables them to understand the 'how' and 'why' of leadership decisions. Pre- and post-meeting huddles are crucial for providing context and measuring outcomes. A final week debrief by the EA demonstrates learning, accountability, and their readiness to take on responsibilities. Consistent evaluation and adaptation of the onboarding process ensure alignment with leadership expectations and business goals. Quote for the Show: "Onboarding isn't about filling time, it's about transferring context, leadership language, and decision-making framework." - Molly McGrath   Links: Join our December Masterclass: https://thelawfirmleader.com/ Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/rkhwBv8gaRA

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl sits down with Rebecca Bernard, the executive assistant behind one of the most productive mortgage branches in the nation, closing nearly $400 million a year. Rebecca shares how she supports branch manager Jim Reed both personally and professionally, taking everything off his plate that does not generate revenue so he can focus entirely on growth. You will hear how Rebecca manages finances, schedules, communication, tech issues, branch operations, event planning, coaching logistics, and even borrower intake in her earlier role, freeing up massive time for the entire branch. She explains what traits to look for when hiring your first assistant, why green and eager often beats experience, and how the right support person becomes a true profit center instead of an expense. Carl and Rebecca break down why top earners almost always have this level of help, how assistants keep loan officers focused on prospecting instead of distractions, and why the most successful leaders build their team before they think they qualify. If you have ever wondered when it is time to hire help or how much it could change your life, this episode lays it out clearly and simply.

Dave Hunter started GreenRoom Video after a career in theater, building it from side hustle to a $1.2 million company.

Turning Chaos Into Clarity Daryl shares how his volunteer search and rescue work during a devastating tornado in Alberta shaped his philosophy on leadership. What he witnessed in those chaotic moments pushed him to create systems for handling emergencies—not just in public safety, but also inside corporate boardrooms. Michael recalls his own experience with Hurricane Andrew in Florida, highlighting how disasters force us to rethink routines, resilience, and the way we lead through disruption. Productivity Meets Humanity Too often, workplaces focus on efficiency while stripping away connection. Michael and Daryl unpack why this doesn't work. Daryl draws from his coaching experience to show how empathy and vulnerability make leaders more effective, while Michael connects it back to employee well-being, stress management, and retention. Together, they stress that leadership is most powerful when it balances results with human connection. Transforming Toxicity Into Trust Michael shares his story of stepping into a healthcare organization with an 86% turnover rate. Within a year, by listening, implementing overdue changes, and fostering collaboration, turnover dropped to 6%. The lesson? Empathy and support aren't “soft skills”—they're leadership essentials. Just like a great coach who believes in their team, leaders can rebuild broken cultures by showing they care. Fundamentals Don't Change, Scale Does Daryl reminds us that whether you're leading 10 people or 10,000, the core challenges stay the same. Leadership is about people—and people are complex. His “order to chaos” framework emphasizes self-mastery, productivity, and intentional leadership. He explains how influence works like concentric circles: the larger the organization, the more intentional leaders must be with communication and culture. Adaptability Creates Team Success Great leaders flex. Daryl underscores the importance of listening and adjusting when introducing new systems. Michael reinforces this point with his healthcare experience—leaders who adapt to different personalities and communication styles build trust and reduce turnover. The message is clear: adaptability and intentionality are non-negotiable in leadership today. Collaboration for Better Decisions Michael highlights why leaders must include frontline voices when rolling out new tools or strategies, or risk creating disconnects. Daryl introduces his practical “1-3-1” tactic: identify the problem, offer three options, and present one recommendation. This simple structure accelerates decision-making and keeps teams aligned. The 1-3-1 Framework in Action Daryl breaks down how the 1-3-1 framework reduces cognitive overload for leaders while strengthening accountability. Though it feels clunky at first, it quickly becomes second nature. He even shares his Executive Assistant playbook and resources for leaders ready to try it—just DM him the word "TeamMichael” on LinkedIn or Instagram to get started. Resources and Balance The episode closes with resource-sharing and gratitude. Michael and Daryl encourage leaders to take advantage of these tools and remind listeners that leadership isn't about doing it all alone. Balance, intentionality, and shared wisdom are what truly move organizations forward.
