What it looks like to be an assistant for a 'reason, a season or a lifetime' and why no one path is right for everyone. &amp;nbsp; I also share why I believe that: &amp;nbsp; - You are valuable and of value as an assistant &amp;nbsp; - You can expand the boundaries of your role as an assistant&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; - You are not your job and you are not tied to the manager or leader you support &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; And why I encourage you to: &amp;nbsp; - Get clear on your value &amp;nbsp; - Get clear on your values &amp;nbsp; - Build your confidence and your competence The Boston Consulting Group I reference can be found here: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2020/heart-ceo-effectiveness Connect with me on&amp;nbsp;Instagram and LinkedIn and make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter to be the first to hear when my exciting new program launches. &amp;nbsp; Assist With Impact http://myeacareer.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/26233134/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/26233134
