I know many seasoned executive assistants who think they do not need to focus on or pay attention to their basic skills, what is also known as the fundamentals.

In addition to coming up with a goal—say, to learn a programming language to be more assertive with your boss—it’s important to understand who you are, what makes you tick, and how you deal with others around you. The right skills and the right mindset can help with this. Aren’t people tired of setting goals? Is that it? Not exactly.

So much of what we do is automatic, like riding a bike, so using my PA skill set really helped me in those initial months. I started to feel far less competent or have far less skills than what I had thought. I had moved from a role where I felt first-class and appreciated and now I felt ordinary. I was not alone!

There was actually a period of a couple of weeks where I was waking up at 630am every day to work out, sometimes twice a day - a pilates class and then walking 4-6 miles too. I sleep with an eye mask that also covers my ears and the entire bridge of my nose so no light can seep in from under. I am less a raging night owl.
