Thursday Things — Oct 30th, 2025

In case you’re new here, CCing my EA is a bite-sized newsletter dedicated to Executive Assistants like yourself.

Every Thursday, we deliver a quick email with 5 new job listings, 3 fun posts, and 1 helpful tech tip straight to your inbox. 📬

We only post jobs under 7 days old, but some may expire before you open this email.

You can download Claire’s The Strategic EA Blueprint here. 👈

It’s a “short, practical guide to help you:

That discretion, trust, and EQ is truly where an EA’s greatest strength lies. And personally, I just can’t see how AI is supposed to compete with that? 🤖

I’m not able to share all 16 slides in the newsletter here so please click into Tabby’s post to check them all out. They’re totally going to give you a great Halloween-themed laugh! 🎃

This is basically the poster child of a work wife + work husband interaction. 😂

This week’s tech tip is a guest post from fellow CCing my EA reader Kimberly Lusk at Atomic-6 who mentioned she was “blown away by how they are catering to EAs”.

“A few weeks ago, one of our executives needed to get from Cabo to Hollywood, and the commercial options were messy. Out of curiosity (and a little desperation), I reached out to a friend, Dakota, who runs charter sales at Origin Aviation.

I told him I wasn’t sure private would fit the budget but wanted to see what it might look like. Within hours he sent over a realistic ballpark estimate and promised full quotes by the next day. The pricing ended up being more than we could justify for that particular trip, but the experience completely changed how I think about private travel.

Instead of a sales pitch, Dakota walked me through when it actually makes sense to go private, like for shorter flights, back-to-back meetings, or situations where every hour counts. Having someone who could quickly explain the landscape, answer questions, and be honest about costs made all the difference.”

If you’ve ever been considered booking a private flight for your exec but weren’t sure how to start, try reaching out to Origin Aviation’s head of sales, Dakota Ward. He’ll be super helpful even if you don’t end up purchasing.

I personally plan to reach out so I can learn a bit about the world of private charters. ✈️

I thought this was a super interesting idea for encouraging more transparency in team communications. 👇

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

There were a lot of great LinkedIn posts this week so I know this newsletter was a little more text-heavy than usual.

I’m planning to create another original meme for you next week so look out for that :)

I’ll catch you next Thursday~
