I wonder how many VEAs started out as EAs first, and what prompted the transition? 🤔

Idk why but this one got me good. 😂

1 Tech Tip

The fastest way to get useful feedback: “Score it out of 10.”

I know this isn’t necessarily a “tech” tip, but it’s important enough that I’m sharing it anyway. (Let me know if you want more of these?)

Have you ever asked your exec “Any feedback?” and gotten:

• “Looks good” (but then they change everything later)

  or

• “Not quite” (but with zero specifics)

Instead, ask them to score it out of 10.

Then (this is the important part) ask: “What would make it a 10?”

That’s it.

Why this works: your definition of “perfect” might be totally different from theirs. “What makes it a 10” forces them to show you what good actually looks like in their head, so you no longer have to guess.

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

Thank you for reading!

I got suuuper ill this past weekend and am still recovering, so apologies for any delayed email communications on my end.

I did want to share an experience from last weekend where I organized a basketball tournament and had 7 players flying in from out of town.

• 2 of them missed their flights, so I had to rebook them

• 1 blew a tire and needed help getting their car towed at 1:30am

• 1 needed to change their hotel check-in and check-out dates

• 1 had their girlfriend arriving 4 hours before them and wanted someone to look after her

• and 1 needed IT support just to get through JetBlue's kiosk check-in

Literally only 1 out of the 7 didn’t have an issue…

I feel like I got a glimpse into what being an EA is like. 😭

Here’s a pic from that event though!

I’ll catch you next Thursday~
