Ep54: Career Mapping for Executive Assistants

In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we’re diving into the topic of career mapping for Executive Assistants. Career progression in the EA world isn’t always linear, and for many of us, it’s something we don’t often prioritize. Whether you see the EA role as a stepping stone to another career or you’re committed to excelling in this profession, having a clear career map is essential.

We’ll walk through the five key steps to career mapping, from setting clear goals to identifying skill gaps and building an action plan that aligns with your professional aspirations. We also discuss common challenges EAs face when planning their careers—like falling into the role without a plan, not having enough time to focus on development, or chasing salary increases without a long-term strategy.

You’ll also hear about the latest trends in career mapping, including:

• The importance of soft skills and how to develop them
• The rise of technology in the EA role and why embracing digital tools is crucial
• Non-linear career paths and why the EA profession offers more flexibility than you might think

This episode is packed with practical steps, insights, and advice to help you take charge of your career and make intentional choices about your professional growth.
