For most this is a career of choice. It’s not a stepping stone or just a job. It’s a career.
The role of an assistant—whether you’re an administrative assistant, executive assistant, or another administrative support role—demands a high level of skill, discretion, and emotional intelligence.
Thirteen years ago, I launched my business, pouring every ounce of energy into its success. But no matter how hard I worked, 24 hours was never enough. The real breakthrough came when I realized that not hiring an assistant was costing me more than I thought. Investing in support wasn’t an expense—it was the key to unlocking my full potential.
Join me on April 24 for a free webinar where I’ll share how leveraging your assistant’s skills can boost efficiency, increase productivity, and drive cost savings straight to your bottom line.

The late 20th century saw a transformation in office roles with the rise of personal computers and technology, leading to the shift from “secretary” to “assistant.” Today, the term “executive assistant” is widely used for senior roles, while “administrative assistant” covers a broad range of office tasks. With AI reshaping the workplace, another shift is underway—toward “administrative business partner,” reflecting a more strategic role. However, in many parts of the world, “secretary” remains the standard term.
The job market is tough, and many professionals struggle to stand out in interviews. While it may be tempting to shape yourself into what you think a company wants, the best approach is to be authentically you. The goal is to find a role where you truly fit—both in culture and skillset. Trying to be something you’re not is exhausting and unsustainable. Confidence in who you are will lead you to the right opportunity. The right job for you is out there, and it will come when you stay true to yourself.
