Karen Pereira has held various Senior Executive Assistant roles over more than a decade and throughout those roles has worked to inspire and encourage other women to support and lift each other up. She's done it with high energy, passion and while showcasing her flair and love for all things fashion. As Karen discovered and reflects though, what she wore when it came to clothes, shoes, jewellery and make up just masked what was going on behind the scenes. She was portraying feeling amazing on the outside but the actual truth internally was far less glamorous. She will inspire those who are struggling to work out who they are, what they're doing and where they're going to discover their resilience, unlock their power and learn to truly love the genuine, authentic and beautiful human being they are.

AHF Employee SpotlightMeet some of the incredible employees who make the AIDS Healthcare Foundation go.GUEST BIOs:Marisa Nilchavee: Marisa started at AHF as a Front Desk Clerk, moved to HR and eventually started the role she is in now as the Senior Executive Assistant to Michael Weinstein and Peter Reis, as well as board liaison.

He was then promoted to a Practice Manager, and was promoted to his current role as Regional Director of Healthcare Center Operations for Texas in January of 2022!CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[7:51] – Growing Through CareersLearning on the job is central to AHFMarisa Nilchavee shares the way that as she's become more deeply enmeshed in AHF culture, she's come to understand more and more about the overarching space that the organization occupies— the way that HIV and AIDs are tied to public health, to race and diversity, and to human rights more broadly. As she's seen behind the scenes of AHF's work, she's developed her own more nuanced understanding of their vital work.[10:54] – Embracing Cultural and Technological ShiftsJonathan speaks on how patient outreach has changedWhen Jonathan Cowans started at AHF, much of their outreach was in-person and via phone. Now, they've adapted to many people's preferred method of communication— text messaging, native telehealth apps, and more. Rather than resisting the cultural shifts to how people communicate now, AHF has embraced them and been able to serve patients more effectively as a result.[13:49] – ‘The Longest I've Stayed on a Job'Why AHF inspires employee longevityAll three guests speak to how AHF has helped them shift from seeing jobs as a springboard to another role at another organization to fully buying into the organization's mission and wanting to stay for the long haul. When you can be whoever you are while being embraced into a unified corporate culture, anything is possible.[27:26] – The Work is the RewardThe ‘why' is as important as the ‘what'When your work aligns with your personal sense of purpose, every day doesn't have to end with some measurable forward progress to be considered a success.

Wie kann eine erfolgreiche Symbiose zwischen Assistenz und Führungskraft entstehen?Häufig wird die Rolle der Assistenz in häufig unterschätzt. Zusammen mit Diana Brandl unterhalte ich mich genau hierzu. Die Aufgabe und damit Unterstützungssupport von Assistenten ist inzwischen weitaus umfangreicher und anspruchsvoller als vor einigen Jahren. Doch sie können nicht nur wertvolle Aufgaben übernehmen, sondern auch ganz anderen Sichtweisen auf Themen mitbringen, die Führungskräften verborgen bleiben. Dies gilt nicht nur für die eigene*n Assistenz*in, sondern auch für eure alle andere. Deshalb ist eine Zusammenarbeit mit Assistenzen für jede Führungskraft mehr als notwendig.Über Diana Brandl:Diana Brandl blickt auf eine fast 20jährige erfolgreiche Karriere als Senior Executive Assistant auf Topmanagement-Ebene in Unternehmen wie ratiopharm, Sony und Mister Spex zurück. Sie engagiert sich intensiv für das Berufsbild der Office Professionals und war im Vorstand als auch als Regionalgruppenleitung bei IMA (International Management Assistants) Deutschland tätig. Frau Brandl ist freiberufliche Fachautorin für diverse Verlage und Fachmagazine, betreibt ihren eigenen Facebook Blog „The Socialista Projects“, gibt Seminare und Workshops und spricht auf nationalen wie internationalen Konferenzen. Dabei setzt sie sich maßgeblich für die Themen Digitalisierung, New Work, Personal Branding und Leadership ein. Diana Brandl wurde 2019 für den Digital Female Leader Award nominiert und als Woman of the Week von den Global Digital Women gekürt.
