Medline Paula Effiong (00:00) with Atlas, we have a community where we ask for help. We have that channel. So when you're dealt with a task that you've never tried before, you can come there, ask questions, which has built my confidence that anything that is thrown at me is not an issue because I can always come ask for help on the community and I would definitely always get someone to help out. My name is Madeline Paula Effiong. Cody Sanchez precisely is the one I predominantly support. And she's known to be an industry leader in the media, and also in the finance advice world. So she's quite busy. So in a nutshell, what type of executive do I support? An extremely busy one who works around the clock. I had worked as an EA for about two years. decided to delve into the world of marketing. Then decided no, I wanted to go back to what I loved and enjoyed doing. it was time to go back to my first love so yes, I went back to executive assistance and What best to do with Atlas assistance? they had rave reviews. So I was like, okay I think this are the best partners to work with for this challenges prior to that Probably would be coordination how EA's are supported Most other agencies are all about the client themselves not about the EA which was the one thing which stood out for me with Atlas I'm like, okay, I can see that they not only support their the clients, They also support the EA and ensure that this is mutually beneficial to both parties. right from the recruitment process it was seamless it was easy then when I was an onboarding session and during that onboarding session it's more like okay you're not a blank canvas you're a canvas that has something on it so they sharpen you, develop you and let you know that, okay they're here to support you through it. their trainings their certifications being provided to ensure you're providing quality and top-notch services before the matching and you get supported, after the matching. We have those people who are there ensuring that, okay, if you have a problem, you come in with your questions, you're supported. I think one of my main challenges at my previous place was having the courageous conversation where, even where there was a challenge, being bold enough to address that was an issue. But during the training, that was constantly hammered on, that shaped me to, okay, it's not so much of a scary field. through Atlas, I've been able to do that with myself because they encourage you to do speak up. my boss she has a medical procedure to go though, and she's having to, okay, cut back on certain tasks. So recently I'm like, no, hold on, we can do ABCD now, you can handle this, and these are tasks that you can totally delegate to other people. you have capable hands. that could handle this. she actually complimented, she's like, "I love the fact that you're not just taking orders or just taking tasks. these are things that move the business forward, I need to do them and these are things that I need to hold back on. So there was a day I think there was complaint and I said, "Oh, I spotted that." And she was like, "no, let's have a call now!" So immediately we jumped on the call, She's like, "please, feel free at any point to raise questions, raise concerns when you have them. Let me know. I don't bite. You can have those conversations with me." So working with Atlas has helped my career confidence as being part of this community, especially with tools I do not know about. 100 % go for it. 10 over 10 recommended. the kind of client I work with today, I probably wouldn't have been able to work with that client on my own. Atlas gave me the platforms, they gave me the room, they gave me the right support, they gave me the right training to equip me to be able to work with this person and excel while at it. you can come as you are with the knowledge that you have. They constantly ensure that you're developing, you're growing and you're being supported through it all. So please give it a shot. You would love it here.
