We know how it feels to be overlooked, undervalued, and misunderstood—but here's the truth: You already have what it takes. Now, let's show you how to unleash it.

The Myth-Busting Manifesto: Why Assistants Belong at the Strategy Table

For years, outdated beliefs have held assistants back. Let's put those myths to rest:

Myth

"Assistants don't belong in executive strategy meetings."

Truth

You have insights no one else does—your proximity to decision-makers makes you an invaluable voice.

Myth

"Assistants can't lead projects or drive results."

Truth

Assistants lead all the time—whether organizing major initiatives, aligning teams, or solving complex problems.

The reality is simple: You have a seat at the table—if you're ready to claim it. This year, let's focus on owning that truth and showing the world the strategic leader you've always been.
