In this episode, Jackie Ludwig outlines the importance of expressing thanks to your Executive Assistant and provides advice to get the strategic partnership off on the right foot. Jackie explains that LUMINI Network was created to share her system and provide a network of growth-minded administrative professionals to connect, learn, and grow.

Jackie and Hallie discuss the importance of trust when working with an Executive Assistant. Jackie shared her experience of working with her former boss, Sean, and how she wishes founders and leaders knew that Executive Assistants are more than just an assistant; they often have a wealth of experience and knowledge that, combined with an intuitive power once they get to know their principal well enough, that truly enables them to be a Force Multiplier for their principal. She encourages founders and leaders to ask their assistant for help and lean on them as a strategic partner in their business.

Prior to leading LUMINI, Jackie spent 20 years as a top performing executive assistant supporting executives inside the world’s top companies. This includes leading brands such as YPO, Rolex, and Korn Ferry. Jackie’s “secret sauce” is a system to get maximum value from the unique partnership formed between an EA and a their C-Suite executive. This system was developed, tested, and validated in some of the most demanding professional environments. Her passion is to share this system with EA’s who seek the same rewarding partnership. LUMINI was created to share this system, provide a network of growth minded administrative professionals to connect, learn and grow.
