EDITOR ’ S LETTER
SUMMER ISSUE 2024
Another issue done , and another year almost done at the time of writing ! I hope you have had a productive and fulfilling year in your EA career – perhaps you ’ ve reached one of your ultimate professional goals , started working somewhere new , or for someone new , or learned a new skill that will have a huge impact on your day-to-day role ? Now is the time to celebrate these achievements !
Talking of positives , I was so excited to have two of the Executive PA Summit keynote speakers working on features with me this issue . On page 18 , Ray Good dives into the myth of muti-tasking . Doing too many things at once is something I ’ m guilty of pretty much constantly doing ( think Jack of all trades and master of none !) and this piece was a real eye-opener for me – how mad is it that this time trap could be costing a day a week in productivity !? Meanwhile on page 26 Simon Thewlis shares his thoughts on the Commonwealth Games – a great one for event-planning EAs .
I also talked to two fantastic high level assistants for Recognition and EA Profile , and we report back on some of the fantastic Summits and events that have taken place recently . The feedback has been incredible and I must admit , I wish I ’ d been at a ’ Mare Crown Sydney to enjoy the immersive dining experience . If your taste buds need tickled , though , flick to page 47
