Behind every great leader is probably an Executive Assistant who is holding space for them in the human moments that leadership can bring.

We talk often about how an EA can create efficiency, keep things organised, and free up time. But what’s often overlooked is their role as a trusted partner, someone who truly gets the pressures and complexities of leadership that goes deeper than the financial forecasts.

A sounding board when you need it

Leadership can be lonely work. Who do you turn to when you need to run an idea past someone, vent after a tough meeting, or simply share a moment of doubt? For many executives, that person is their EA.

It’s the conversations between meetings when you just need someone to listen. It’s the quiet understanding when you’re having a challenging day and, of course, can’t take it to your team. It’s the intuitive decision to reschedule that non-urgent call because they can see you need a moment to breathe.

An EA’s support goes beyond logistics – it’s emotional intelligence at its finest. It’s a partnership beyond what gets done, it’s being supported along the way.

Taking the weight off your shoulders

One of my clients recently said to me, “I don’t tell you enough, but having you here takes such a weight from my shoulders. I know I don’t have to pretend that everything is perfect all the time – I know you get it.”

That is the magic of working with an Executive Assistant. We’re here so you don’t have to carry the burden alone. Whether it’s the pressure of hitting targets, balancing personal commitments or managing your team, we are in your corner.

It matters

Being a leader is no walk in the park. It can be demanding, isolating, and full of moments when you’re expected to have all the answers. Having someone by your side who truly understands what you’re navigating is endlessly beneficial.

If you’re considering hiring an EA, remember that the value we bring isn’t just about what we do but how we make you feel while doing it. And don’t we all want to feel more supported.
