EDITOR’ S LETTER
SPRING ISSUE 2025
Welcome to the latest issue where we’ re thrilled to feature Lauren Calvert’ s inspiring journey from C-suite EA to founder of The Well- Suited Group. Her story perfectly captures what’ s happening across the high-level assistant profession right now: EAs aren’ t just supporting businesses, they’ re reshaping them. Lauren’ s model of fractional, flexible executive support challenges everything we thought we knew about the traditional 9-to-5 role, proving that strategic value doesn’ t need a desk at head office.
Speaking of evolution, Tracy Sheen’ s new book AI and U couldn’ t be more timely. As our reviewer notes, it’ s not about AI replacing us but amplifying the EA’ s impact. With ChatGPT and similar tools becoming our digital assistants, we’ re seeing real-life assistants achieve milestones that once felt out of reach. The human touch remains your superpower … You just have better tools now.
We’ re also looking at how venues are adapting to hybrid work patterns with the rise of flexible workspaces like GPT Space & Co while Jo Jones shares her honest take on navigating today’ s challenging job market.
