executive mentoring

creating ease so you can get back to focussing on the priorities that matter most.

highly impactful executives know how to partner effectively with their greatest asset, their EA.

They also recognise when an executive is time poor, their teams can’t do their best either.

AN EXPENSIVE disconnect that’s limiting your impact.

During my career as a high-level EA I’d ask my CEOs and Chairs the same question on day one: “what is the biggest problem I can solve for you?”.

The answer was always “give me more time”.

A genuine lack of time was rarely the issue, how their days were structured, the ways of working and missing best practices always was.

My thinking and ways of working saved my executives +8 hours every single week. An amount of time that equates to thousands and thousands of dollars annually.

Executive Assistants don’t come with a handbook and executives are rarely taught how to work with them effectively.

The result?

A disconnect that costs precious time, causes frustration and keeps the executive trapped in a cycle of reactivity and being time poor, a cycle that impacts the rest of the workforce too.

When an executive is caught in the weeds their ability to create impact is limited. The good news is, change can be swift, if you know how to make it happen.

effective partnering delivers maximum impact.

Understanding how to partner with your assistant creates the spaciousness for you to focus on what matters most. The impact will be:

  • less colliding pressure points that create peak periods of heavy workload

  • a strategically and thoughtfully planned schedule allowing space to think, plan and work ON the business not just IN the business

  • a calendar scheduled with high value commitments focused on strategic priorities

  • timely submission of deliverables rather than racing to the wire

  • teams with the ability to also be proactive, rather than stuck in a reactive cycle

  • space to decompress, restore work / life balance for optimal wellbeing

  • knowledge of the tasks and responsibilities to delegate so your focus remains where your highest value will be

  • a trusted advisor who understands your priorities and a mutual investment in each other’s success

  • ability to meaningfully guide, lead and develop your EA

  • more free time to focus on what matters most, or to be truly present outside of work

Learning how: part art, part science.

During my career I worked with a high profile billionaire, entrepreneurs, prominent business leaders, change makers and thought leaders.

I’ve had 27+ years of developing successful support partnerships and have directly contributed to the success of many Chairmen, CEOs and organisations.

I now work with executives to help them understand where they can lean in, let go and importantly, help their EA help themselves.

Not utilising an EA to their full potential and capacity is a missed opportunity to save countless hours in a week and remove the friction points that hinder meaningful progress and keep executives stuck in the weeds.

Working together in a one month intensive (or longer if needed), I share ideal ways of working with an EA for maximum return and clever solutions to common challenges.

If you want to go all in, we can take a double pronged approach where I work privately with your assistant at the same time.
