Ep73: How to Be an Interested and Interesting EA
Manage episode 501498988 series 3360632
In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we explore one of the most overlooked but powerful dynamics in the Executive Assistant role: the ability to be both interested and interesting.
Nicky shares personal stories and honest reflections on how curiosity and personality can shape your career path—from missed promotions in roles that felt uninspiring, to thriving in environments where she connected with the work and the people around her.
You’ll learn:
- Why being curious about your Executive, their goals, and your organisation matters
- How showing your personality (yes, even your love of movies or gardening!) can open unexpected doors
- Practical tips for building confidence and authenticity—even in quieter or less inclusive workplace cultures
- What to do if you’re not interested in your industry, and how to decide whether it’s time to move on
Plus, don’t miss this week’s freebie: our Elevator Pitch for EAs, a guide to confidently explain your role in any setting. Download it now at theeacampus.com/podcast/ep73
