From Receptionist to C-Suite

Building Community One EA at a TimeWhat does it take to go from receptionist to the trusted partner of a PayPal CEO and then walk away on your own terms? According to CC Quinteros, it starts with someone opening a door for you and then having the courage to walk through it.In this episode, CC joins Diana and Melinda to talk about building EA communities from the ground up, why the profession is still misunderstood by HR and recruiters, and what 33 years in Silicon Valley's executive suites has taught her about owning your career. She shares how a leveling guide she discovered at Juniper Networks sparked a mission she carried through Avaya, Intuit, and PayPal, and why finding the right EA-executive match is nothing short of magic. She also makes the case that EAs were the original AI, and why that's exactly the reason you should stop being afraid of it. If you've ever felt invisible in your role or wondered how to bring the next generation into this profession, this one's for you.
