An executive assistant handles logistics like scheduling and travel. A chief of staff manages strategy, sponsorships, and sensitive decisions as a trusted advisor. The roles look similar but operate at different levels.
What's it like having an assistant? Chief of staff? What's the difference between those two? Yeah, so I have EA and chief of staff. So EA mostly focuses on the scheduling piece of things, like the logistics. If I need to book like travel or things like that. For example, when I arrive at a hotel, I'll have like an Instacart groceries arrive, right? I really like liquid soap. I don't like to use the hand soap, right? And so like there's fruit and all like healthy snacks. So it's like those logistics, right? The chief of staff is like helping me with my day-to-day. So like, hey, I need help with like podcast sponsorships over here. Maybe I wanna buy this website over here. I think the thinking is higher level. I would say, and it's someone I know I can trust with all my information.
