How to Thrive as an Executive Assistant

This episode features a conversation with Brooke Bastain, an executive assistant who, as she puts it, sort of “fell into the role” at one of her early employers. But she has since thrived as an executive assistant and is now more than 4 years into her EA position at a Denver-based software company called Conga.

I loved this interview. Brooke gave such an authentic and genuine view of the role and how it relates not only to the executive you support, but also to the organization's culture.

Congratulations on the new role! Consider subscribing to our channel, because we talk about this sort of thing quite a bit. Mary Ryan's episode in mid-2022 is a good EA perspective as well. Here's a link to it: th-cam.com/video/p9iqPdJFOl4/w-d-xo.html

Brooke is wholesome and natural. No wonder she rocked as an EA. But a personality like hers would thrive in a magnitude of roles out there.
