The gatekeeper label is common for executive assistants, but it often keeps EAs operating in a narrow role. Real impact comes from becoming the bridge, someone who supports clarity, connection, and collaboration across the organization.

In this “best of 2025” episode, I break down why this shift matters and how it elevates your influence and strengthens your partnership with your executive.

In this episode, you will discover:

• How acting as a bridge strengthens culture and alignment
  
  
• The ways this shift improves your relationship with your executive and the broader team
