The Book Every Leader Wishes They Read Before Hiring an Assistant
Most leaders aren’t overwhelmed because they lack capability—they’re overwhelmed because they’re carrying work that was never meant to stay with them.
- If your calendar is full, your inbox never ends, and your work follows you home, the issue isn’t time. It’s delegation.
- Rise Up & Lead Well is a practical, workbook-style guide that shows you exactly how to partner with an assistant so you can stop doing everything and start leading at your highest level.
- Written by a leader who has lived on both sides of the assistant–leader relationship, this book gives you clear systems, tools, and structure—not theory or fluff.
- If you’ve ever thought “I’m doing too much,” “I need help but don’t know where to start,” or “Delegation feels harder than doing it myself,” this guide was written for you.
If you’re leading a growing business, chances are you’ve felt this tension before.
Leading a growing business creates a unique kind of pressure.
Your responsibilities multiply. Your availability shrinks. And the gap between what needs to be done and what only you can do keeps widening.
This book exists to close that gap.
Rise Up & Lead Well is a practical, workbook-style guide that shows you how to partner with an executive assistant in a way that actually works — not just in theory, but in the real day-to-day of leadership.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Identify what should stay with you — and what shouldn’t
- Delegate with clarity instead of frustration
- Build trust, communication, and ownership with an assistant
- Create systems that give you time, focus, and margin back
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about leading from the right place — with the right support.
