    Define Your Own Title

    By: Mia L. Hazlett 10/4/2017 Climbing the corporate ladder was always one of my dreams. But throughout my life I gained so many titles. It wasn’t until I shed them all, except mother, that I started defining who I was and wanted to become. I’ve gone from the title of orphan to Writer, and Executive […]

    HELLO – There’s an Introvert at the Table

    By: Mia L. Hazlett 10/3/2017 This is for all the top bosses out there. After many years of sitting in the executive meetings, I’ve noticed one common element, those who talk get attention. They are perceived as “go-getters, initiators, leaders.” While the quiet ones at the table, are deemed passive and shy, or not team […]

    Make it Unhappen

    By: Mia L. Hazlett 9/25/2017 As an EA most notably, your job is to make things happen. You are bombarded with emails and calls requesting your boss’s availability. If the request seems reasonable, you make it happen. Whether you meet with your boss daily or weekly, you review with them all the things you made happen […]

  • The Power of Defining Your Own Title

    The Power of Defining Your Own Title

    By: Mia L. Hazlett 6/3/2016 As a grown up, I think I am anyways, I’ve discovered my confidence stems from being secure in who I’ve become professionally.  When I had my daughter, I was faced with a reality many working parents are faced with, work-life balance.

    Desk Time

    Mia L. Hazlett Desk time.  We’ve heard about it. Talked about it. We’ve even scheduled it. But does it exist? Desk time takes discipline from both the C-Level Executive (CLE) and the Executive Assistant (EA). EA’s it’s up to you to ensure CLE has proper desk time.  How does this work?  It works on the […]

    Prepare to Limp Away

    Mia L. Hazlett “I’m just trying to get my foot in the door.”  I’ve heard this numerous times throughout my career.  Most people think “the foot in the door” is the administrative assistant or EA path.  I always find this interesting.  I started as an administrative assistant and worked my way to EA.  That was […]

    Strictly 9-5 DESK Job

    Mia L. Hazlett Workaholic. It’s a personal choice.  If that works for you, great.  Again, this is for the C-level executive (CLE) and the executive assistant (EA). CLE we get it, you have a demanding job. You don’t work the regular hours.  Your title, salary, and responsibilities don’t allow for you to shut off once […]

    Just the Secretary

    Mia L. Hazlett You would think the archaic idea that an assistant is “just the secretary,” would not continue to circulate in our modern world.  WRONG!  For over 15 years I have worked for C-level executives and people jokingly assume, not in their heads, but verbally, that I’m running around getting my boss coffee and […]

    Your Superhero

    Mia L. Hazlett   To be a successful leader you’ll need support; no nonsense, best friend, sole confidant style support. Someone who looks out for you all the time, and is not afraid to pull the “she’s in a meeting” card when “long-winded guy” stops in for an impromptu meeting 10 minutes before the board […]
