Why Would Someone Want To Be Your Assistant?
Hallie just celebrated her nine year anniversary working with me, and Amy is coming up on year two. That’s no easy feat! I’m not always easy to work with and I know it (so do they!). I have high standards and a high sense of urgency. I expect resourcefulness and a “figure it out and […]
