Improved Mental Health 3. Enhanced Social Interactions 4. Increased Productivity 5. Work-Life Balance At Lily Shippen, we embrace the pawsitive impact our furry friends bring to the office and have quite a few colleagues with paws.

PA or EA: What's the Big Difference? Let's Break it Down! In today's dynamic business environment, understanding the roles of Personal Assistants (PAs) and Executive Assistants (EAs) is crucial. In one of our recent blogs, we delve into the distinct responsibilities and skills of PAs and EAs, explore their evolving roles, and provide guidance on choosing the right support professional for your business needs. It is also worth noting that every PA and EA role looks different across every business, and a PA could be undertaking an EA role and vice versa. https://lnkd.in/e2uM7W-E #executiveassistantrecruitment #personalassistantrecruitment #executiveassistant #personalassistant #ukrecruitmentagency #hiring

Ego and self-promotion – what’s the difference? 🤔 Is having an ego and mastering self-promotion the same thing? Having recently caught up with Marja-Leena Toseland (Editor at PA Life), we discussed one of our most recent blogs, published by our very own Emma to discusses the definitions and differences. Do you ever think about posting something you are proud of either personally or professionally on a platform such as LinkedIn, but stop yourself because you are worried that people will think you are egotistical or conceited? Well, that is a shame and needs to change. Read our thoughts on this and get in touch if you would like to explore how we can help you with this with our Executive Coaching Services (on Personal Branding). https://lnkd.in/emFeS2mj #careers #personalbranding #selfpromotion #ego #difference #career #spotlight

🌟 Starting Your Day Right In the hustle and bustle of our professional lives, it’s easy to overlook the simple rituals that set the tone for a productive day. One such ritual that we've found that the whole Lily Shippen team do, is starting our days with a hot drink, whether it’s a cup of tea, an oat milk cappuccino (there is always one 😜) , or even a herbal infusion. This small but significant routine provides a moment of calm and mindfulness before diving into the day. BUT......can you guess who starts their day like this!? #hotdrinks #routine #mornings #workplace #startingtheday #habits

Coaching and Mentoring - How invaluable is it for Executive Assistants? We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Patrick Bevan FRSA, a trusted Change Advisor and Coach helping people solve gnarly problems and bringing joy in doing so (or so he tells us 😉). Having spent most of his career navigating the challenging world of big business he is now focussed on supporting senior leaders (specifically brilliantly Neurodiverse ones) through the power of coaching and mentoring. Read his more in-depth thoughts on how we can all be coached and mentored to success: https://lnkd.in/eSXuDDRs #coaching #mentoring #growth #leadership #change #personalgrowth #careerdevelopment #success
