As Executive Assistants, we’re no strangers to juggling a hundred things at once, but how often do we stop and ask: Is this a task, or am I actually running a project?
In The EA Campus Ep69: Is It a Task or a Project?, host Nicky Christmas explores why recognising the difference between everyday tasks and project-level work is one of the most overlooked yet powerful mindset shifts an EA can make. Too often, assistants downplay the complexity of their work by calling it a “task” when in reality, they are coordinating projects with multiple moving parts, stakeholders, and outcomes.
In The EA Campus Ep69: Is It a Task or a Project?, we break down:
How to spot when a “task” is really project work in disguise
Why the language you use shapes how others see your role and value
A simple framework for reframing your contributions strategically
Practical tips for communicating your impact to executives and colleagues
By the end of The EA Campus Ep69: Is It a Task or a Project?, you’ll have the confidence to highlight your role as a project driver—not just a task completer—without adding unnecessary admin or overcomplicating your workflow.
