068: Debunking the Myths About an Executive Assistant

March 24, 2020 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MB

Executive assistant? No, thanks.  I don’t need one. It’s too expensive. It’s just a waste of money! I can handle everything anyway, like literally – everything! Whoa!  Not so fast right there. Do you even know what an executive assistant can actually do for you? Imagine being someone who could speak on your behalf.

067: Four Keys to Streamline Travel Management

March 17, 2020 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

Traveling can be addictive, well, at least, it is for me. But traveling can just be as stressful as running a business too. Especially when you’re a control freak, traveling can quickly add up to decision fatigue, which most business owners suffer from. One of the best examples of beating decision fatigue is Steve Jobs. He used to wear a black turtleneck every day so there was one less decision he had to make every morning, leaving that brainpower for being creative. The same goes fo...

066: Empowering Your Team To Speak On Your Behalf

March 10, 2020 08:00 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

I used to think that only I could speak for myself.  As a business owner, I didn't think that someone else could know me well enough to speak on my behalf.  So I found myself being stuck handling all the sales calls, all my speaking pitches, my event coordination, and even networking all by myself.  Eventually, I ran out of runway doing it all by myself.  It definitely limited my reach because I thought I personally had to be behind every single new relationship and touchpoint.  So...

March 03, 2020 09:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MB

Have you ever reached your breaking point as an entrepreneur?  Was there a moment when you felt like you just couldn't go any further?  There’s this unwritten rule that if you can't tough it out and weather hard storms, then maybe you're not cut out to run this race. We tend to put enormous pressure on ourselves to perform well in all areas of our business that failure or taking some time off is just never an option.  But hitting the wall is the last thing you ever want to do.

064: How Your EA Can Serve as a Stabilizing Force in Your Business

February 25, 2020 09:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

Do you tend to overbook yourself and manage your calendar poorly? Are you even factoring downtime?  Let's face it.  We are not our own best assistant. It's hard to stay committed to the things we said we're going to do. This is why we need accountability. We need someone to help us protect our time and our focus, to help hold all those details that stress us out, and to help us make sure we're showing up as our best. Without an executive assistant, you end up being the assistant.  ...

062: Four Qualities I look for in an EA

February 11, 2020 09:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

What qualities do you look for when you're hiring an EA? While many executives already know the tangible qualities they want in a support person, they often don’t think about the soft, intangible skills. I’ve listed four qualities that make the difference between a good EA and an excellent EA. These qualities determine how your EA shows up for you everyday. And they make a HUGE difference in how you as an executive are taken care of and how your team and clients are served. EAs who s...

060: How an Assistant Can Get You Noticed

January 28, 2020 09:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

Many CEOs today run their own company, but also serve as their own brand.  This is a natural next step for CEOs with a message to share, and a desire to inspire, educate and serve peers in their industry. To amplify their reach and influence, CEOs should enlist the help of an assistant, serving as an Executive Promoter. An Executive Promoter is a trusted brand ambassador and reputation manager. They drive sales, marketing, and relationship building, and speak on behalf of the executive...

058: Three Roles Every Team Should Have

January 14, 2020 09:00 - 20 minutes - 19.3 MB

I make a habit of quoting one of my favorite people, Cameron Herold. He says,  “If you don’t HAVE an Executive Assistant you ARE one.” It’s only fitting for a Doer-turned-CEO to love this quote. As you can imagine, it’s hard for me to break some habits of my former life.  I have to actively stop myself from wanting to manage my email account or calendar, and fully let go of things like coordinating travel arrangements and promoting my brand on social media. As a CEO, I can only let go ...

057: What the Right EA Can Do For You: Behind the Scenes with our Client Lauren Pawell

January 07, 2020 09:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

Not every attempt at working with an Executive Assistant goes according to plan.  When they fall short of expectations or miss deadlines, it puts pressure back on you as a Leader to get the work done or correct mistakes.  It can also make you reluctant to delegate again in the future. Lauren Pawell had just such an experience. However, her understanding of the value of an EA made her willing to put her trust in someone new. Lauren helps entrepreneurs generate, nurture and qualify mor...

056: Setting Expectations with your Executive Virtual Assistant

December 31, 2019 09:00 - 24 minutes - 22.9 MB

A common mistake among business owners is trying to “wing it” after hiring an Executive Virtual Assistant for the first time. They try to find their rhythm with their new support as they go, rather than having a plan for onboarding, delegation and priority projects.  Like most things in life, this unique relationship is most successful when there is a plan for success and a solid foundation.  This means doing a little heavy lifting in the beginning, to reap long-term success and health...

054: When Tragedy Strikes: Supporting Your Team Through Crisis

December 17, 2019 09:00 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MB

No matter how hard we try to separate our personal and professional lives, when tragedy strikes, one has a direct impact on the other. As Leaders, it’s critical to know how to support your team through hardship, because no organization is immune to crisis. Workplace cultures can suppress conversations about mental health, crisis and trauma, or invite them. I am a believer that these topics should not be stigmatized in the workplace, but invited in an appropriate way. In this episode, y...

052: Truth & Trust in Life and Business

December 03, 2019 09:00 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MB

Most of us say we want to lead with Truth, Trust and Integrity...but do we really? These words can make our eyes glaze over because we hear them so often in corporate settings.  But in order for our organization and team to embody these values, we must live them out in our own lives.  We can never ask our team to do something that we wouldn’t do. We need to own our mistakes, and deliver on our promises. We need to serve as a Leader worth trusting, to be able to develop a team we can ...

051: Chemo, and Moving Toward Scary Things, With Dina Cataldo

November 26, 2019 09:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

How many of us have moments of stillness in our professional grind?  I’m willing to bet, not many. For me, trying to be still is like a form of torture. I think that’s why “Be still and know that I am God” is a Bible verse that I constantly have to revisit.  Without quiet time, we put ourselves at risk of not being present, and not knowing what we really want in life.  Dina Cataldo said she found stillness in chemotherapy treatments. Dina is a personal coach, criminal prosecutor, and...

047: 8 Barriers to Doing What You Were Created To Do

October 29, 2019 08:00 - 22 minutes - 21.3 MB

Do you ever feel like you could throw a rock and hit a webinar or a coach advertising “how to find your passion or purpose?”  The internet is filled with Venn Diagrams about the intersection of what you love, with what the world needs, what you can get paid for and your strengths.  They make it sound so easy right? But that is not the reality. Even if we have “discovered” our purpose, if we don’t make the time to actually do it, we’re no better off than we were before.  In this episo...

October 22, 2019 08:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

We always read articles about the best places to work based on culture.

September 24, 2019 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MB

Many entrepreneurs are used to doing it all. To get our business off the ground, we may have had to learn systems or processes on the fly because it was cheaper, easier and faster than hiring someone to do it for us!

040: Business Ownership Does NOT Equal Leadership

September 10, 2019 08:00 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MB

It’s not uncommon for us as business owners to confuse our ownership with our leadership. Unfortunately, those two things are not the same.  Ownership is responsibility for the outcome.

Counting our time should not be any different than counting our money. But unlike money, we can never get more time. In the six years I’ve owned Priority VA, I’ve changed a lot with how I structure my time.
