This is the power of EAs supporting EAs. 💪
In our Ultimate Communication Toolbox training, we talk about the value of nonviolent communication—where feedback looks like:
Person 1: Clearly expressing how I am without blaming or criticizing
Person 2: Empathetically receiving how you are without hearing blame or criticism
"Feedback doesn't always have to be big and heavy. It can look like little pieces of feedback—one at a time. And if you ask for little pieces of feedback consistently, you can build that muscle."
— Shelley Trask, Principal EA to the CTO and Co-founder of Slack
"Timing is everything. EAs know this because they're highly emotionally intelligent. When your exec just got back from a two week trip and they're jet-lagged? Definitely not the best time for giving feedback."
— Meagan Strout during our Ultimate Communication Toolbox training
So exciting! Right now Shelley Trask, Principal EA to the CTO and Co-founder of Slack, is leading an incredible training with our COO Meagan Strout.
Ultimate Communication Toolbox is a deeply impactful training for EAs that covers trust, accountability, feedback, and more. 💡

Remember: there is almost always room to return to basics in both your life and your job. Manage stress by being the manager!
These are my #FridayFeels. Have a good weekend Mafia! #executiveassistant #virtualassistant #leadershipdevelopment #stressmanagement
When things feel overwhelming, I encourage you to think:
-What can I simplify right now?
-What am I doing, or what is on the calendar, that is not directly impacting the success of my executive?

Say hi to Zoë! EA to the CEO and CFO at Carta, "My EA philosophy is to always be a partner! Someone told me awhile ago that EAs are an extension of the Executive themselves, and it has totally changed my mentality."
