From support to strategy.
More than 13 years as an executive assistant taught me what that move takes. Now I help assistants make the shift.
My mission:
To make every executive assistant a strategic business partner — starting with how they see themselves.
Four ways I help assistants make the shift:
A new way
of thinking
- Work from your executive’s priorities, not their calendar.
Practical
daily habits
- An end-of-day handoff that leaves nothing in your head.
Custom
workflows
- The repeat work, turned into a system that runs.
AI
training
- Where AI helps, where it doesn’t, and how to use it well.
How I can help
Two ways to work together: training that changes how your team thinks, and custom workflows that give them their time back.
In-person AI workshops
Two days that change how your team works.
- Who is it for?
- Executive assistants ready to work as strategic partners, and the teams around them.
- What do you get?
- Two days on your team’s real work. Everyone leaves with a clear way to approach AI, and tasks they can start handing off the next morning.
- Where and how long?
- At your workplace, in person, for two days or more.
What it covers
- First principles for approaching AI, so you can spot any task that can be automated
- A shared language: what AI‑assisted, AI‑augmented and AI‑autonomous really mean
- Deciding where a human must stay in the loop, and where AI can run on its own
- Turning the time you win back into work your executive actually notices
Custom workflow building
Your most time-consuming processes, rebuilt to run themselves.
- Who is it for?
- Assistants and teams with a process that eats hours every week.
- What do you get?
- We map the current process together, define the result you need, and build a solution suited to your tools and requirements.
- Where and how long?
- Scoped together before we start, on the tools your company has approved.
What it covers
- A map of where your week actually goes, and which tasks are worth rebuilding first
- The right level for each step: AI‑assisted, AI‑augmented or fully autonomous
- A working system, built on your approved tools and tested on your real work
- Handed over so you own it, with simple instructions and optional ongoing support from me
Questions you may have
- Who is this for?
- Executive assistants, executive business partners, and executive operations teams looking for practical help with AI and recurring workflows. The scope is tailored to the team’s roles and starting point.
- Where does training take place?
- Workshops are delivered in person at your workplace, with a minimum of two days.
- Which AI tools can we work with?
- We plan the workshop around tools your team already has and is approved to use. We confirm access and the specific tools before the session.
- What if our organization has rules about AI?
- Your team practices on the kinds of tasks it handles every day, within your organization’s rules for tools and data. We agree on suitable materials beforehand. Training works within those rules; it does not bypass them.
