Your World-Class Assistant: Hiring, training, and leveraging an Executive Assistant

I've had an assistant for as long as I've been managing large teams, and this book completely changed how we worked together. My favorite part is the spreadsheet that I made with all my sizes, travel preferences, etc. - made the process of booking travel, meals, etc. for me super easy. I can sometimes fail to delegate enough, so we added a "what can I take off your plate" section to the 1:1 agenda in the book. Use this with the pdfs from their website and you'll be supercharging how you and your assistant work together.

I have learned a LOT from your books! They truly changed the course of my business for the best, especially your book about personal assistants. After reading Your World-Class Assistant, I immediately started my journey by hiring my 16yo son to grade papers for me and two of my (even younger) nieces to clean and cook for me. Your solid advice (and the fact that I took you seriously and actually followed it) freed up a lot of brain space for me, enabling me to feel creative again and use my time to produce better classes, presentations, workshops, and activities. I have since grown to have several more employees, and they're all adults, lol.As far as your writing style goes, your pacing was perfect, resulting in a very quick, very enjoyable read. Instead of bloating your book with far too many personal stories, you presented actionable steps in a reasonable and practical manner. Of course, some stories were necessary, and you wrote in a conversational tone, but it was just enough to be endearing and readable. When I finished, I was inspired instead of overwhelmed and was able to implement several of your fantastic ideas on that very same day. I can't thank you enough! My husband and son have now joined the family business (online tutoring), and we are finally able to travel together and go to the gym together...in the middle of every single day (if we want)!

Small amount of information on how to be a world class executive assistant.

This book isn’t about how to become an assistant or the best assistant. It’s a great layout for admins and managers on why you need an assistant and how to set yourself and your assistant up for success once you decide to get an assistant. I’ve recommended it to clients that need assistants but don’t know why or where to start. It’s a great resource.
