Description
Melba Duncan has trained assistants since before I was an EA, so I am very grateful for the opportunity to interview her on the show.One of the most life-changing articles I've ever read was Melba's piece in a 2011 issue of Harvard Business Review called, The Case for Executive Assistants – which is still shared far and wide by EAs all over the world.In fact, the day I interviewed Melba, she was featured in this Forbes article.As I went back and edited this episode, I was blown away at how much wisdom Melba had to share during our brief conversation.We cover a variety of topics including how to be innovative as an assistant, why assistants are crucial to an executive's success, how executives can get more out of their assistants, what makes an assistant a leader, how to stay healthy and rest in the midst of a demanding role, tips for recruiting assistants, and much more.Show notes - leaderassistant.com/22Subscribe - 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?
