Most of my podcast guests are assistants or former assistants, so I’m excited to hear a different perspective on today’s show.Today I talk with my wife's long-time friend and former Purdue pole vault teammate, J Ballentine. J was in corporate America for 11 years, then left to start her own business.We talk about hiring assistants, managing assistants, as well as public speaking. In fact, I love this quote regarding public speaking from J in this episode:"Be structured in how you prepare, but organic in how you present."Show notes at leaderassistant.com/14Subscribe at podcast.leaderassistant.comJoin the community at slack.leaderassistant.com or facebook.leaderassistant.com--Are you looking for a way to elevate your skills or earn that promotion you’ve been eyeing?
