About the Inspired Assistant
At dinner with my boss one evening I mentioned that I didn't know many other EAs and that it would be good to have a peer group of people working in the same field. Working as an assistant can be crazy, fun, exciting and challenging, but it can also be demanding and at times isolating.
Working for a smaller company means I don't know that many other assistants to bounce ideas off, ask for help or even just share a laugh with. I love the team I work with, but sometimes it's good to chat with other Admin professionals who share the same challenges (and aren't worried I might be spying on them for the boss).
As much as I'd love to get out and meet lots of others face to face, I definitely don't have the time to commit to weekly, fortnightly or even monthly catch ups, so I thought an online space to discuss some of the issues and challenges (as well as the positives) would be a more achievable way of keeping in touch with other office professionals.
I hope it works for you, and I'd love to hear any suggestions or comments you've got about the page - what would make it work better for you?
Cheers,
Heather
