3 posts you might’ve missed

#1

I don’t usually share my own posts here, but after receiving so many unbelievable stories, I realized I would love to hear yours too. 🫣

#2

Too good not to share, just added a little expert photoshopping to make it relevant to today. 😛

This is basically every EA I’ve talked to — few people ever actually start out as an “executive assistant”. 🤹‍♀️

1 Tech Tip

Streamline Your Meeting Follow-ups with AI 🤖

We've all been there: drowning in lengthy email chains, trying to extract crucial information for our execs. It's time-consuming and often overwhelming to digest every thread, identify next steps, and compile relevant info.

But what if AI could do the heavy lifting for you?

Here's a step-by-step guide to supercharge your post-meeting process:

1. Gather your meeting notes or email chain.

2. Paste the content into Claude AI (it handles long-form text better than some other AI tools).

3. Prompt Claude with relevant questions, such as:

   → "Can you please turn this into a short, digestible summary?"

   → "What are the key action items from this conversation?"

   → "Are there any deliverables mentioned that I should prepare?"

4. Review Claude's responses and refine as needed.

5. Use the AI-generated insights to draft follow-up emails and schedule next steps.

Pro Tip: Ask Claude to suggest personalized talking points for each participant in your follow-up communications!

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