What actually is your title? I've seen a big surge in “Executive Business Partners” lately.

Bonus:

“Everyone needs an Executive Assistant” could be such a great meme format. If you feel inspired, reply with one! 👀

1 Tech Tip

Stop re-typing your Full Name & Email ❌

Isn’t it annoying to always be entering this information?

Not anymore.

Rather than typing ‘Alexander Bayer’ on ticketing sites, flights, appointment forms, etc… I type ‘semicolon + name’.

It’s free, and it’s easy.

Here's how:

1) On a Mac, open your System Settings.

2) Select the ‘Keyboard’ section on the left panel.

3) Click the Text Replacements button.

4) Add a replacement.

To see this in action, I’ve attached a video as well. 😎
