3 posts you might’ve missed

#1

I’m actually also very curious, do you see your current EA role as a stepping stone or as your career? 🤔

Like Jennifer said, no wrong answers!

#2

Execs. Can’t live with them, but can’t live without them. 🤦

#3

They say more than half of communication is via body language, so I think Stacie’s totally hitting the nail right on the head with this one! 🔨

Bonus

This is part 6 of 7 of Brett Trembly’s “Behind every legendary CEO is a badass Executive Assistant.” thread.

Since this is a longer thread, I’m breaking it up into a limited “Weekly EA Spotlight” sort of thing across the next few newsletters.

But if you’re impatient, you can click in now to read the full thing.

1 Tech Tip

Business card → contact in 10 seconds (iPhone)

Next time you receive a business card, instead of pocketing it and "doing it later", you can just quickly add their details to your iPhone's contacts.

  1. Open your Camera app and point it at the business card

  2. Tap the Live Text icon that appears in the bottom right corner

  3. Long press the underlined email or phone number → Add to Contacts → Create New (or Add to Existing).

That's it!

Extra tips

  • Add a one-liner to remind yourself additional details: “Met at Administrative Professionals Conference, ask for intro to *The Davids™️”

  • Snap a selfie photo with them to use as their contact's profile pic

For Android users, Google seems to have removed this feature from their native camera app a few years ago… 😭

*The Davids™️ is what we call our 2 account executives, David Nguyen and David Ryan.

For 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!

Confession time: according to the survey, 31.3% of CCing my EA readers haven’t heard of Vimcal EA... If that’s you, please help save my marketing job by taking 2 minutes to skim vimcal.com/ea. 😅

For context, CCing my EA is backed solely by Vimcal EA, which is how we keep this newsletter ad-free.

I’ll see you next Thursday~
