The Untapped Power of Half a Billion Women: Time to Elevate the Admin Profession

AI Is Powerful—But Have You Fully Tapped Into Your Assistant’s Potential?
An executive proudly told me they’d invested thousands in Microsoft Copilot to reclaim an hour a week.
Great—except, doesn’t a well-utilised assistant already give you that every day?
AI is a phenomenal tool, and I’m a big advocate, but let’s not forget the human element. Assistants bring critical thinking, discretion, emotional intelligence, and adaptability to the table—skills AI can’t replicate.
It’s not an either/or. Before throwing money at new tech, ask: are we fully leveraging the talent we already have? Use AI to enhance the assistant partnership—not replace it.

Assistants as Strategic Assets: Shifting the Perception from Cost to Investment
Viewing an assistant as a cost rather than an investment is a fundamental misunderstanding of their role. Assistants enable executives to focus on high-value tasks, optimize workflow efficiency, and reduce stress—all of which contribute directly to business growth. Their specialized skills, from process implementation to project management, drive productivity and profitability. However, spreading assistants too thin diminishes their impact. When utilized correctly, every hour they save for a manager translates directly to the bottom line. It’s time to position assistants as strategic assets rather than overhead costs.
