What keeps me going is knowing how important this role is and how we can learn and grow in these roles but the key is to know who you are and see yourself. Know your work and know your worth. ~ Kathy
Having a lack of confidence not only begins to play on your own psyche, self esteem and self worth, but it will begin to also show up in your money, in missed promotions, opportunities and stretch assignments. ~ Rhonda
In this episode, I sit down with the dynamic duo behind The BEA Network — Kathy A. Adams and Rhonda Augustus — two powerhouse executive assistants, leaders, and changemakers who are expanding what’s possible in the admin profession.
We chat about their inspiration for launching The Black Executive Admin Network, the importance of visibility and voice for Black admin professionals, and how their own career journeys led them to build the kind of community they wish they had.
If you’ve ever felt like there wasn’t space for you at the table, this conversation is your reminder that you can build your own — and invite others to thrive alongside you.
