I was absolutely gobsmacked to learn what she’s been through and survived. I was in tears just listening to her story. This woman is resilient AF and what she did next is so very inspiring.
Register to learn all about Annie’s journey and how her near-death experience made her so passionate about helping others prevent burnout in their lives.
The secret to unlocking a successful working relationship between an assistant and principal
by Ursula Kohler, Instructor of the Building a Strong Relationship with Your Principal Course and Founder of Capital EA
I nearly blew it
Confession time! I nearly destroyed a role that I had longed for because I lost all trust in my skills once I got the job and spent months trying to prove my worth.
Though I spent my time convincing the powers-that-be that I was the right person for the role, I lost all confidence in my own abilities once I actually landed the role. I spent way too much time trying to prove myself as an administrative magician and mind-reader.
It’s no surprise to anyone that this tactic didn’t work. I spent too long on projects trying to guess what the principal needed, I made judgment calls with too little information, I was constantly trying to catch-up and I was beginning to give away the respect I had from day one.

Free Webinar: Notion for Task Management
I’ve been speaking nonstop with assistants since we went into lockdown here at The Officials HQ and everyone has tech on their minds. There have never been so many assistants working from home and it is pushing all this tech right to the front of your minds.

So we teamed up with her to bring you our next course Notion: Harnessing the Power of Knowledge which will be released next week.
