In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into the Eisenhower Matrix — specifically the quadrant that too often gets overlooked: important but not urgent work.
As Executive Assistants, it’s easy to get caught in the whirlwind of urgent requests, Slack pings, and last-minute diary dramas. But real strategic impact? That lives in Quadrant 2.
Join Nicky Christmas as she explores how EAs can protect time for the work that improves processes, builds trust, and prevents future fires — all without needing a crisis to prioritise it. You’ll learn how to schedule and defend deep work time, link your projects to long-term goals, and frame your accomplishments to reflect the real value you bring.
