TOPIC: From Executor to Architect: Reimagining the Future of the EA Role
Guest speaker: Rachael Bonetti
The role of the Executive Assistant is undergoing one of the most profound shifts in its history. The days of being the Executor, the one who gets things done - are giving way to a new archetype: the Architect. This session unpacks the evolving landscape of the profession, exploring the archetypes that shape how EAs operate today and what the future demands of them tomorrow.
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of:
The archetypes that define EA impact and influence.
