How do I set myself up for success in the first 30 days of my new EA role? What questions should I be asking? How often should I be meeting with my executive? 2-3 times a week or daily morning touch base calls?

My suggestion would be to meet with your exec and ask what they want as far as meeting frequency. Don’t be afraid to ask the question “how can I best assist you” to understand priorities from their perspective. They are your client so it’s important for you to understand their needs to ensure your support is impactful.

I also suggest coming up with a “preferences” document for you to ask questions related to travel, meetings, expenses and other items you will assist with so you don’t have to piecemeal the questions and interrupt them frequently.

like

Preferred airline, seating preference (aisle, window, business)
Rental car type and company
Meeting frequency/method (in person, phone, zoom/teams)
Preferred days/times for scheduled meetings with others
Does anyone have priority during do not disturb time

I’m not sure what industry or role description you were provided but these are some general ideas. Hope it’s helpful!

Ask them how they prefer you to communicate with them, especially if you’re remote. Email, text, Slack, and when to use them (eg only text if it’s urgent?).

I’ve shared with him my general ideas about why I thought opening up press conferences to the general public would not be a good idea, he still wants to move forward. Anyone have an ordinance in their city that permits the public ⬇
