Access NowCan you afford an executive assistant?
The real question is: Can you afford not to have one? As a leader, most of us are moving a hundred miles a minute, going through the day at a blistering pace, with phone calls, meetings and important decisions every hour.
Some entrepreneurs just getting started might consider having an executive assistant as an unnecessary luxury. But our guest today, Jason Pond – the CEO at Grizzly Broadband – knows that’s just not the case. He’s joining us to talk about the power of having an executive assistant, specifically how it can elevate your capacity and effectiveness as a leader, both personally and professionally.
It’s okay to admit you aren’t perfect! You can’t do it all, and that’s why having an assistant is so valuable. You can leverage your VA to help you where you most need it. Usually, leaders start with areas like email and scheduling and then build from there.
In other words, not only should they feel included, but your team should know that your assistant is an extension of you. They shouldn’t come to you about scheduling or other more simple tasks – they should be going directly to your assistant. When your assistant becomes part of your team in that way, you can do so much more from a production standpoint.
The global pandemic in 2020, and the resulting work-from-home culture that developed, has made remote options even more appealing. That’s no different with having an assistant. Zoom meetings are easy, office space is expensive, and you can always get together in person when needed. Virtual assistants truly are the effective leader’s secret weapon.
BELAY client Geoff Welch and his BELAY Virtual Assistant Trúc Towns talk with Tricia about their experience of learning to work together and their top tips for getting started working with a Virtual Assistant. Geoff also explains how delegation has allowed him to play to his strengths in both his career and his personal life.
