Challenging the Stereotypes: What Being an Executive Assistant Really Involves 🌱

Is your perception of an Executive Assistant holding your business back?

Executive Assistants aren’t just there to manage calendars and clean up inboxes. They’re the behind-the-scenes powerhouses who bring strategy, problem-solving, and a personal touch to every corner of a business—often without the spotlight they deserve. Let’s clear up the confusion and celebrate the real impact EAs have, one myth at a time.

What are some common misconceptions you’ve heard?

"Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire." – Arnold H. Glasow

Honestly, working from home wasn’t my first choice. But one thing that pandemic changed me? I became a fur mom. 🐾

My furry babies helped me survive those tough days, and I didn’t even realize how down I was until they gave me a new sense of purpose. They kept me going when I thought about quitting everything.

During the early months of the pandemic, I had the privilege to experience temporary WFH however, working from home that time felt isolating. I’d spent years surrounded by colleagues, constantly interacting, and suddenly, it was just me at my desk. I even switched companies to find a hybrid setup, thinking that might reignite my motivation, but it didn’t.

Fast forward to now: I’ve left the corporate world behind and am actively hunting for a permanent WFH setup. I guess that’s what happens when you become a full-fledged furmom. 😅

The VA world is new to me, and I thought my BPO background would make things easy. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t! The competition was fierce, and rejection was my constant companion. But instead of letting that stop me, I turned it into fuel to grow my skills. Now, I’m all about leveling up as a VA! 🚀

Joining VA Training PH was a game-changer. Shoutout to Coach Joanna and Coach Nats for an amazing five days of clarity and goal-setting! To face that fear and take that first step. 👣

Now, I’m taking a big leap from my phone support background into the world of social media management. It’s a major shift after five years of doing one thing, and yes, doubts creep in. But my excitement outweighs the fear. Like Coach Nats said on Day 5, “Don’t let that fire burn out.” 🔥

I’m holding onto that advice as I step into this new chapter.

I’m beyond grateful—not just for the knowledge I’ve gained, but for the courage to start. So here I am, declaring my goals and believing in myself, just like my mentors believe in me. If they can do it, why can’t I? I'm so excited for what’s next! ✨
