Caitlyn Hamblin, Executive Assistant, Creative Collaborator, and Natural Connector

Send us Fan Mail

Caitlyn Hamblin is a natural connector, creator, and podcast enthusiast.

She learned from her mom – who she called the "Mayor of Truro, Nova Scotia" – how to walk up to anyone and make them feel seen, heard, and considered.

Caitlyn is an Executive Assistant in Business Development and Marketing at Lindsay Construction based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia near Halifax, an Atlantic Ocean port in eastern Canada - the provincial capital of Nova Scotia.

A leader in her profession, she now puts her “connection savvy” to work as the President of the Atlantic Branch of the Association of Administrative Professionals (AAP).

And AAP is the reason we met - and became fast friends at at the AAP National Conference in PEI this last June where I was honoured to be chosen to speak to the dynamic and dedicated Administrative Professionals in attendance.

In our conversation Caitlyn expressed how “when we’re surrounded by people we naturally connect with, we can do great things."! 

Her new passion project, “Cait Collabs”, launched in 2022 with the goal of connecting brands and generating collaborations between big-picture creative women. Her collaborative initiative is such a great example of her belief in action!

Connections can be polished, professional, and also be a lot of fun like the doing goofy Instagram reels on a cold beach in PEI! (Yes, you'll hear that story when you listen in.) 

Caitlyn also reminds us that keeping connections strong we need to be intentional about reaching out while – at the same time – taking care of ourselves along the way.

This conversation was a fun one and became a natural first episode for Season 2. I think it will set the tone for our new season The Connector Next Door and I hope you do too.

Welcome back Connectors!

A special note as of September 24, 2022: My conversation with Caitlyn was recorded before the devastating “historic” storm hit Atlantic Canada. The next days and weeks will be difficult for those in the area because of Hurricane Fiona. We wish all those affected a safe and speedy recovery once the wind and water recedes.
