Executive Assistant Gains 4-Week Specialized Training and High-Level Strategic Placement

Ella Webber (00:00) Atlas is not just where you get a job and then it does abandon you to go sort things yourself, right? It's a community that builds it's not a workplace for me. I don't see Atlas as a workplace because whenever we're having meetings, everyone just talks and then, you know, there's always someone who wants to help you with anything. Atlas provides the resource to do that. Atlas providing mentorship to do that, And also the training. by seeing all of that, I'm grateful that I am currently working with Atlas because I'm always looking forward to the next day. my name is Michael Mbama, and I am currently based in Nigeria - Lagos, Nigeria, which is the capital of Nigeria actually. so I currently work for Atlas, and I am paired with a chief marketing officer. someone who's been in the industry for over 30 before I bumped into Atlas, I was actually working in the e-commerce industry, right? And I've been there for, like, 5 years. And at some point, I just felt like I needed change. I needed something more engaging. something that would be more challenging as well, right? And I just realized that working as an executive comes a whole lot of that experience working for different CEOs and executives for different industries, right? And it just piqued my i reached out to a couple of friends and they said, "okay, this is one of the best E-Agency out there." And that was how I bumped into Atlas. I did my findings, of course, which was great. And here I am, currently working as an executive at atlas. before I was paired with my executive, right? there was a little bit of an issue where she had to let a previous E.A. go, and it brought some sort of pressure coming on board, right? it felt like... You don't want to make any mistake, And as much as possible you are trying to live a very good first impression. And then before I started working with her, I went through a 4-week training with Atlas. and that covered calendar management, inbox, zero inbox, triaging, bookings, hotel bookings, flights, and all of And they also taught us how to be resourceful. not always waiting for your exec, you know, to tell you things to do. Also taught us how to, you know, bring up initiatives. right? that training was something that solidified my experience with her, and also improved, you know, my workflow with my exec as well. when I wanted to take a little time off, and my exec was... "Oh, that's a lot of time. I mean, I'm going to miss having you working, being around and all that, you know." And that was when I realized that we have bonded a lot where we, you know, taking a time apart, you know, between the both of us is like, no one is going to be here to do this thing for me. And it made me realize how important I have been with my exec. And aside from that, I have been handling like a lot of different by doing that I see that when I do those things it brings that, you know, that change to my exec, where she has a lot of time to do different stuff. in the end she just says, "Thank you for doing this." I just realized how important it is to work for her and she also realized how important I also am working for her as well If you're looking for a place to grow yourself as an executive assistant, if you're looking for support, right?
