The Elevated EA

""Maggie's triumphant story of self-discovery and selfactualization in corporate America through the very common role as an Executive Assistant will convince anyone about the power of belief. Maggie's deep-seated belief that she is not only worthy of more, but deserving a well, has transformed her life from being a likely high school drop-out without direction, to a CEO's Right Hand. Harnessing this power of belief coupled with the relentless will to execute flawlessly as an unrepenting generalist makes her story an inspiration for anyone curious about how it is possible to have it all, while perceived by the world as being ""just an admin""."" -Al-Husein Madhany, Life Coach & Co-Founder of ELS Talent Advisors ""If it were not for Maggie Jacobs, I would not be on LinkedIn, amongst many other career enhancing decisions which Maggie confidently guided me towards when I was building my business. Meeting Maggie was divine timing for where I was at that time in my life, and I continue to learn from her every single time we talk. In this beautiful book, Maggie has the courage to tell her whole story, and in the process, inspires all of us to live a more authentic life, while following our dreams. A must read!"" -Libby Moore, Executive Coach, Speaker, & former Chief of Staff to Oprah Winfrey ""If you're ok with the status quo, don't read this book. But, if you're ready to reclaim control of your career and become an elevated assistant, Maggie's book is a must read."" -Jeremy Burrows, Founder of LeaderAssistant.com; Host of The Leader Assistant Podcast ""Rarely do I run into someone whom I immediately feel some sense of kinship with. When I met Maggie for the first time several years ago, I intrinsically knew she was special and destined for big things. Fast forward to now and I'm filled with immense pride knowing that she has discovered her power and become a force. Upon reading Maggie's book, I finally got a lot of the context that was missing in our previous meetings and conversations. The revelations in this book speak volumes to the woman Maggie has become, the voice she's found, and the honesty and integrity with which she operates. The stories within the book are equal parts autobiographical and a call to action for EAs looking to elevate themselves and their careers.There's no perfect blueprint to get to the top. Everyone has a history that influences their outcomes. What Maggie beautifully represents in this book is the power of self-forgiveness, finding direction and belief, obeying your intuition, and opening your damn mouth and actually asking for what you want. I love this book because it's real, incredibly honest, and a fantastic account of a life once plagued with challenges and disappointment now filled with wonder, confidence, and intention. It's an honor to know that my words had such a positive impact on Maggie. This book will do exactly the same for the masses who read it. Especially the passionate ones."" -Phoenix Normand, Chief at trīb + BounceBack Author of AS I SEE IT Volume 1: Business
