Alicia Comer is an executive assistant supporting C-suite executives, and has been for over 10 years. We dig into her work life as an EA and she emphasizes the importance of multitasking and staying flexible amidst the constant changes and interruptions. She shares tips on getting things done, dealing with difficult personalities, and explains the importance of building morale and keeping teams happy. We also dig into the evolution of her work life: from working 40 hr weeks at 2 jobs while still in high-school, to leaving her tiny hometown of Westville, NS at 19 years old to forge out on her own in Edmonton and later Toronto. She also talks about her thinking around college or university diplomas not being the be all and end all.

“At the beginning, I definitely missed my family. All of them were still in Nova Scotia. It was just really cool to have the independence. ‘Cause a lot of the people that I went to high school with, they were all in university and they were wondering why. ‘Why are you not going to university? What are you going to do with your life?’ Because you're taught all through high school that you need to go to college or get some sort of diploma. I'm like: ‘I’m going to prove everybody wrong and I'm going to make it.’”
