Virtual executive assistants provide entrepreneurs with invaluable support and allow them to step away from the daily grind to focus on growth. These positions also allow driven professionals to work remotely and flexibly while gaining experience, knowledge, and skills. How can entrepreneurs and virtual executive assistants work together to propel the organization forward?

Business coach Jenna Spencer advocates for authentic and genuine connections between entrepreneurs and their virtual executive assistants. When business owners identify an assistant who aligns with their values, goals, and needs, they gain the time and energy to maintain a consistent presence in their companies. Entrepreneurs can even act as mentors to their executive assistants, providing them with learning opportunities and a sense of community engagement through skill development initiatives. This mutually beneficial relationship enhances customer service and employee experiences.
