Executive Assistants vs. Personal Assistants: How to Build Your Dream Support Team

In this episode, we’re diving into the distinctions between executive and personal assistants and how each role can transform the way you work. Many entrepreneurs hesitate to bring on support, unsure of the right timing or unclear about what tasks to delegate. I’ll share my own journey from hiring a virtual assistant to a full-time EA and explain why personal assistants are just as crucial for time-starved CEOs. You’ll also learn how to balance trust and privacy, set clear boundaries, and keep assistants aligned with your priorities. By understanding the unique value each role brings, you’ll be ready to make strategic hires that give you back time and focus. Tune in to see how you can start building your dream support team today!

KEY POINTS:

  • Definition and role of an executive assistant
  • On having an HR consultant for the hiring process
  • Definition and role of a personal assistant
  • The importance of delegating tasks for personal and business growth
  • The necessity of having NDAs to protect personal information
  • The pivotal role of regular monitoring and individualized codes

Listened to my first episode today, Chalkboards to Checkbooks and loved it! Great information that is so helpful! My career is not in education but the tips in here can be applied to anyone and are fundamental to meeting your goals or in some cases like Erinn’s - recalibrating them to be in line with your worth and what you can really achieve!
