I swear this applies beyond the workplace into all my personal relationships too. This tip is a keeper! 👍

#2

These comics are based on true stories submitted by EAs retold in a fun, anonymous way.

For convenience, we also post these to LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.

Do you have an outrageous or funny story you’d like to get off your chest? Just reply directly to this email to share. I promise anonymity! 🤫

#3

This is backed by data from our 2026 Report too. Emotional intelligence is by far the strongest competitive advantage every EA has. ❤️

1 Tech Tip

ChatGPT Personalization = your “cheat sheet” drawer

(Tech Tip credit to an EA from our AEST ChatGPT office hours last night!)

If you’re always digging for the same details (office address, exec travel prefs, RSVP email, Zoom links), you can stash them once and just ask for them later.

Set it up (60 seconds)

1. ChatGPT → Settings → Personalization

2. In More about you, paste the facts you always forget but often need.

   Examples: office address, team support emails, legal entity name, EIN (if appropriate), Wi-Fi network/password for guests, exec’s seat/meal prefs, key calendar links.

Use it

• “What’s our office address again?”

• “Remind me of our guest Wi-Fi details.”

• “What are my boss’s travel preferences?”

ChatGPT will answer instantly.

This effectively gives you one centralized drawer for all your frequently copy-pasted info without hunting through old emails.

Friendly caution

Don’t store anything truly sensitive you wouldn’t put in a shared team doc (e.g., personal banking, medical info). Stick to work logistics and reference details.

For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here (updated once a month).

Thank you for reading!

I’m heading back to Berkeley again for Lunar New Year next week but this time my parents don’t know I’m coming.

Can’t wait to see their surprise when I walk through the door unannounced. 🤭

I’ll catch you next Thursday~
