Lauren Calvert is a Strategic Business Partner and career EA with over 15 years experience working with CEOs of multi-national and blue chip organisations.

In 2019 Lauren launched The Well-Suited Group -  a ‘go to’ agency for businesses and individuals in need of premium administrative support, creating opportunities for women in senior executive support roles seeking more flexibility and partnering with CEO’s and companies who value good support and champion flexibility that works for all.

Listen to this interview to hear Lauren describe her own experience navigating the career spider frame (as I like to call it). 

Lauren shares how she developed the combination of project management skills and commercial acumen led to her moving out of the Executive Assistant role and how she intentionally returned to the role of EA because of the opportunity to partner with her business leader to deliver strategic business support.

In Episode 152 I'm sharing the outcome of a 'laser' coaching session I had recently with an Executive Assistant earlier this year. Listen to this episode to hear:

1. The situation/context

2. The gaps we identified and the steps I suggested to help this assistant reset and re energise the relationship and build trust and confidence

3. The five challenges that I present to all assistants who seek out my assistance and why these five challenges are built on intentional communication with your manager

4. Five simple actions you can take RIGHT now if you are looking to assist with impact.
