  • We all have transferable skills !
    Nov 23 2023

    Doesn't matter what industry you are in, the challenges and role of an EA is very similar, we all have transferable skills.

    In our final episode for 2023 we are in discussing with Michael Boulus and delve into the dynamics of transitioning between industries and delve into his experiences as the Executive Assistant and trusted right-hand to the CEO at We Are Unity.

    Michael is an accomplished Executive Assistant with a diverse background spanning professional services, engineering, the arts, and hospitality. Currently supporting the CEO and Managing Director at We Are Unity, he leverages his skills to help drive transformative changes in business purposes, strategies, brand, and culture.

    'Being trusted sets you up for a strategic partnership"

    In 2023 we interviewed over 20 amazing guests from all parts of the Admin Profession as well as experts over the year, covering AI, Mental Health, EAs in Education, Virtual Assistants, Startups, AAA Awards and so much more.

    Mel, "What I learnt over the year was I have so much more respect for my career and the Admin Profession. Advocacy comes from the inside out, we have to be the ones championing for our profession as no one else will. I've loved working with EK who brings so much knowledge and experience to the table. It was out of our comfort zones, however we are so glad we took on the challenge, it's been fun and very rewarding'
