042 From EA to Entrepreneur: 16 Years Executive Support & Chief of Staff Insights | Zoe Hills

The Time Management Podcast

📣This week on The Time Management Podcast I am joined by Zoe Hill founder of Premier Admin Services, ex JP Morgan Senior Executive Assistant & Chief of Staff at Arcade Media, with over 16 years Executive Support experience for a conversation about the profession, empowerment, the power of networking, time management and so much more.

This Episode is for you if:

→ You find it hard to set boundaries & stick to them

→ You’re struggling with overwhelm & loneliness in your career

→ You’re ready to be inspired by someone whose first job was at age 13 and attributes part of their career success to a peer who doesn’t even know the impact of their mentoring.

"An Assistant saves the executives they support time by organising, streamlining, strategising, and negotiating everything. They anticipate, project manage and protect their schedule to ensure they have exactly what they need so they can focus on the targets and goals of the business." – Zoe Hill
