Why Executive Assistant Coaching Matters
What the Coaching Relationship Looks Like
Coaching is a partnership designed to help you gain clarity, momentum, and confidence in your career.
Your coach acts as a thought partner — someone who asks the right questions, challenges your thinking, and helps you see new possibilities.
Some clients work with us short-term, for clarity around a single challenge.
Others continue longer, using coaching as ongoing support throughout their career journey.
Every session is confidential, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.
You set the pace — from a single advisory session to a multi-session coaching pack.

Success Stories
-
The most valuable aspect of the coaching experience was the reframing of my mindset, particularly the shift from feeling overwhelmed to recognizing my growth as a sign of trust and success. My sessions also provided a framework for deep self-reflection, which helped me define my own style…quiet strength…this was crucial for my professional growth.
I am completely satisfied with my experience with Trish. Our sessions were incredibly valuable and provided exactly what I needed to navigate my professional transition and grow in my role. I believe the outcomes speak for themselves—my confidence has grown, my work has become more strategic, and I've developed a more unified and effective partnership within my CEO's office.

I began working with Trish approximately a year ago when I decided to focus on my career growth. I stumbled upon her by chance after a long search online. After our first meeting, I knew she was the right person to help me.
What I initially thought would be a path toward professional growth turned out to be a journey of personal growth. Trish is an exceptional woman and professional. Her empathy and understanding of problems, frustrations, and professional aspirations are terrific. She is an excellent communicator with a unique talent for interpreting situations involving different cultures and approaches.
Her guidance is based on a friendly and positive approach, which enables her to find solutions to even the most challenging problems. I am thrilled to have met Trish, who has become an indispensable part of my journey. Grazie Trish!

I've been working with my coach Trish for nearly two years now and came at a time when I wasn't in a good place with my career and needed the focus, and drive to get myself reset. I'm a believer that people come into our lives when you need them the most and that happened with Trish. Within the same week of talking to Trish, there was a job advertised that I thought, 'I could do that', but even part of me was a little 'No, you can't'. But I kept thinking of the conversation earlier in that week talking to Trish who helped get me back into a better place, so I applied, and I'm now working in that very job.
Trish has been with me on this journey in setting me up for success. I first completed The Power EA course which helped me focus on the key elements of my role. And now I'm in the Coaching Program where each week we have met Trish has supported me to create real impact and achieve success in this role. I'm now in a much better place of focus, more confident, happy and enjoy each week when we meet because I walk away energised and wanting to push myself further.
As EAs we don't put ourselves first. We should be doing more of this because I've seen such benefits of understanding myself as a person, an EA and in building a successful career while working with Trish and looking forward to seeing what more we can do as we work together. Thank you, Trish, really appreciate you.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know you may have questions before getting started. Here are some of the most common ones about our coaching programs:
About Coaching
-
What is executive assistant coaching?
Executive assistant coaching helps you develop clarity, skills, and confidence to grow your career and influence in the workplace. -
Career coaching helps you gain clarity, confidence, and strategies to move your career forward. A coach acts as a thought partner—supporting you to develop awareness, break through barriers, and make informed decisions about your career direction.
-
They’re designed for executive assistants, personal assistants, and chiefs of staff who want to advance, reposition, or future-proof their careers.
-
While most coaching clients are Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants, and Chiefs of Staff, the coaching is open to any administrative or executive support professional in a support or leadership-enabling role who wants to grow their career.
Getting Started
-
Not at all. You can book a single advisory/coaching session or choose a Pay as You Grow pack (6, 8, or 12 sessions). You’re in control of how much support you want and when.
-
In a way! All sessions are delivered online and accessible globally.
-
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next step—or if you simply want to create career momentum—a complimentary session is the best way to find out. There’s no obligation, and you’ll walk away with practical insights even if you don’t continue.
-
As part of the booking process, you’ll complete a short pre-session questionnaire to help clarify your goals and priorities. You’ll then book your session time, and your coach will prepare so your conversation is tailored to you from the very first call.
How It Works
-
Coaching is a collaborative process. You’ll work with a professional coach who helps you set goals, overcome challenges, and take practical steps toward career growth.
-
Coaching helps you reflect, explore options, and build long-term strategies. Advisory support gives you clear, actionable advice on a specific issue. In a session, you may receive one or both, depending on your needs.
-
Your complimentary session runs for 45 minutes, giving you the opportunity to experience coaching and explore your immediate goals.
Pay as You Grow sessions are 75 minutes each, whether booked individually or as part of a 6, 8, or 12-session pack. -
Each 60-minute session combines coaching and, when needed, advisory support. You’ll explore your career challenges, clarify your goals, and leave with practical strategies. Between sessions, you’ll also receive resources or exercises tailored to your journey.
-
Yes. Many clients come to coaching to work through a specific issue—such as preparing for an interview, navigating a difficult workplace situation, or planning a career transition. A single session or small pack is perfect for this.
-
That’s where the 6, 8, and 12-session packs are ideal. They give you structured support over a longer period while still allowing you to use sessions flexibly at your own pace.
Other Questions
-
Most clients gain clearer career direction, improved confidence, stronger communication skills, and strategies to position themselves for promotions or transitions.
-
Simply book your complimentary session. It’s the best way to experience coaching first-hand, ask questions, and decide whether it’s right for you.
