3 posts you might’ve missed

#1

We just launched our biggest feature of the year (so far)! 🥳

If you want to see it in action, my CTO, Mike, is hosting three 20 min drop-in webinars to walk through how to use Executive Calendar Audits to undeniably prove your impact to your exec.

The first webinar ended yesterday but there are still 2 more upcoming:

Hope to see you there!

#2

Saw this on my feed and thought this could be a simple way for you to get some helpful training for free.

Reminder that the deadline is end of day this Sunday, April 13th! ⌛

#3

This post might’ve been a little longer than usual but the information was simply too important not to share.

Very much hoping this helps you in your future salary discussions! 🤑

Bonus

“Okay, I swear I just saw that email... Let’s just search ‘urgent’. Hmm no, ‘ASAP’? Maybe ‘Follow-up’ or ‘Re: Follow-up’?! Oh great, that just gave me 12 more email threads from last week.” - Some poor EA out there 😭

1 Tech Tip

40+ Guided workflows with EAwiz’s ChatGPT bot

This tech tip comes from Courtney Johnson, creator of EAwiz! 🎉

She’s built a free custom ChatGPT bot that’s specifically tailored for the needs of Executive Assistants.

EAwiz offers guided, step-by-step help for 40+ high-impact workflows using simple hashtag commands (like #calendar, #budget, #branding, etc.). Here's how:

  1. One Question at a Time: Like a productivity coach, EAwiz asks one clear question at each step so you're never overwhelmed.

  2. Customized Output: You get three tailored versions of every result:

    • Concise ✅

    • Detailed 📋

    • Creative 💡

  3. Smart File Integration: Upload documents, and EAwiz can extract or optimize info from them on the spot (e.g., resumes, reports, calendars).

  4. Tool Suggestions: EAwiz will recommend free tools first, and only premium ones when necessary.

Hope you find this helpful with your day-to-day EA needs!

Side note: you probably connected the dots by now, but this is indeed the same Courtney Johnson who inspired our new Executive Calendar Audit feature!

If you ever need a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.

Thank you for reading!
