I’ve been thinking about the tone of my recent posts.
A lot of them have been focused on what’s broken – the ceilings, the burnout, the lack of progression. And rightly so. These are conversations we have to keep having if we want systemic change in this profession.
But here’s the thing. That’s not the whole story.
There are also brilliant companies out there doing it right. Leaders who recognise and invest in their assistants. Career pathways that do exist. And teams where EAs, PAs and Business Support staff are fully seen, fully valued, and fully empowered.
I want to hear and promote those stories too.
✨ What’s working?
✨ What’s made you feel proud, seen, or energised lately?
✨ Who is doing it well?
✨ Shout out a great exec, a brilliant team, or a policy that makes a difference.
Let’s balance the hard truths with some real inspiration – because both are true at the same time.
Drop something positive in the comments.
Today, I’d love to flood LinkedIn with what’s possible in this profession when it’s done well.
