An Executive’s Guide to Activating a
High-Performing Assistant
Download the practical guide designed to help executives and executive assistants build a high-performing working relationship from day one.
Why This Guide?
The effectiveness of an executive assistant is rarely determined by capability alone.
More often, it’s determined by clarity.
Many executive-assistant relationships begin with good intentions but very little structure. Expectations remain unspoken, priorities are assumed, and both parties spend months trying to understand how to work together.
The First 90 Days provides a practical framework to change that.
It helps executives communicate how they work, what matters most, and how their assistant can create meaningful leverage from the very beginning.
What’s Inside
This practical guide includes:
✔ An Executive Self-Brief to clarify how you work and what you need from your assistant
✔ A structured 90-day activation roadmap
✔ A practical working agreement for executives and assistants
✔ Reflection prompts to establish expectations early
✔ A framework for building trust, ownership, and effective collaboration
Designed to be completed together, the guide creates a shared operating framework that supports stronger execution from day one.
