EA Rockstar & BEL Speaker:
Phoenix Normand
"25 Years and I'm Back for More"
Exerpt from Phoenix's candid article:
"...It's certainly not a job for just anybody. But it's one that has brought me so much opportunity, growth, and fulfillment. It has shown me far more than I could ever have imagined or achieved on my own and put my name in the mouths of people I've idolized for years. And for that, I'm eternally grateful.
Now, it's my turn to help build and inspire the next generation of MEGA Assistants and morph this role into a true business partnership and omniscient resource for execs and their teams.
We have a ton of work to do collectively, but I'm up for the challenge. WE WEAR THE PRADA NOW!"

Chairman of Hergenrother Enterprises & BEL Speaker:
Adam Hergenrother
5 Ways to Create a Strategic Partnership with Your Executive Assistant
Excerpt from Adam's article:
".. I started to really understand the importance of leveraging to a great assistant. It wasn't just handing off miscellaneous tasks, it was creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
Your assistant works WITH you, not FOR you. Hallie reads all of my emails, attends the majority of my classes & trainings, listens on calls, and sits in on meetings. She is more effective when she knows what I know, knows how I think, how I solve problems, and what I have decided and promised (so she can follow-up and deliver)."

When YOU Change The World Around You Changes
Victoria Rabin - CEO of Executive Assistants Organization (EAO)
"...People who achieve the unachievable are, by definition, naturally unreasonable. It seems as though they make the conscious decision to replace their desires with unreasonable needs. Everything they partake in seemingly requires relentless determination, intensity, and a consistent element of risk to make sure they are constantly operating at a peak performance mode. A quest for a life of uncertainty, combined with a positive belief system, is what they excitedly wake up for each day. A "seize the day" mentality, versus "Oh crap, it's morning already."

Entrepreneur Magazine Article
The Secret Weapon of Many Accomplished Leaders
Victoria Rabin - CEO of Executive Assistants Organization (EAO)
Excerpt from article:
"...These days the image of the person directly helping a CEO is far from that of a Mad Men-like secretary bound to a typewriter, preferring to be seen but not heard. Today's assistant is the driving force at many startups, responsible for fortifying the foundation of support that positions entrepreneurs for ultimate success."
