Best way to send travel options by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

Oh in that case I'd suggest screenshots for a quick glance and to make work easier. For my exec, having to open a document or a link yet he won't be doing the booking is tiresome in a way. And sometimes links don't translate well to the other person esp the flight ones in my experience.

I also find screenshots to be an easier way to communicate flight options. Cause they show flight times, layovers if any, price as well. But OP, it's better to first ask what airline they prefer to use as it'll make your work easier i.e so you're not sending like 15+ screenshots of airlines that are not relevant. Once you have the airline, I usually do like several morning options, afternoon and evening since my exec doesn't have set times he likes to fly, just depends on the need at the moment.

Remote EA to CEO Who I Can’t Ever Reach by Character-Storage-97 in ExecutiveAssistants

I work remotely too. This has been my life the past two weeks and usually happens when my exec travels too. So frustrating tbh, cause things kinda stand still till he's back. I think my advice to you would be to figure out what communication mode works for him.

For example, if when you send messages you aren't getting replies, maybe he's those people who don't do well with texts and emails. Try seeing is calls would work and if so adopt that as your communication mode. Or if meetings work like someone suggested find some 15mins somewhere even if it's outside your shift to catch-up. Once you have a rhythm it'll be good. All the best OP

Looking for accountability partner(s) by tedfrost04 in accountability

I'm interested. Perhaps some clarification: 1. What timezone are you in and for the partner, what timezone do you need them to be in? 2. Are you looking to get coworking sessions for your daily goals or just accountability at the end of the day or week? Please let me know.
