Anna Beam, Executive Assistant, Office Manager and the Host of The Influential Assistant Podcast

Anna Beam is my guest this week. She is currently the C-Suite Executive Assistant & Office Manager at Engenius <https://engeniusweb.com/>, a web design & digital marketing agency based in Greenville, South Carolina. Anna has been in the assisting industry since 2012, and is a passionate advocate for empowering other assistants.

Anna shares her experiences of becoming an Executive Assistant, her current job and how she has evolved, to take a seat at the leadership table. Anna speaks about deciding how your bad days will look like, how do you want to live your life and creating the role that works for you.

Anna’s ability to almost intuitively understand how to create this space for herself and build trust brick by brick is really inspirational. Anna has a unique perspective and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing how she has thoughtfully approached her work. Taking the time to decide how to move forward and even negotiating her time at work instead of a pay rise, in order to give herself more balance with her work and family. Anna packs a lot into this episode and it is fascinating to hear her perspective.

Anna recently started The Influential Assistant podcast <https://anchor.fm/theinfluentialassistant> which is absolutely brilliant and even more of an insight into her thoughts about this profession. She covers topics such as giving and receiving feedback and casting vision on her role. Please do take a listen, if you haven’t already because her insights are really fascinating and tremendously supportive.

Anna lives in the Upstate of South Carolina with her high-school-sweetheart husband, 2 year old daughter, and their dog. You can find Anna on Instagram @Annabeam.ea <https://www.instagram.com/annabeam.ea/> or reach her at mailto:annabeam.ea@gmail.com
