Synopsis

Sit beside the desk where real leadership happens—and discover the quiet power of world‑class executive support.

What separates a good Executive Assistant from an indispensable one isn’t a color‑coded calendar or a perfect itinerary—it’s the mindset, judgment, and invisible work that make leadership lighter. In Pull Up a Chair: Conversations on Healthy Executive Support, Julie A. Grabeel invites you into twenty-one candid, often funny, always practical conversations drawn from years serving senior executives, boards, and complex organizations. With warmth and refreshing honesty, she shares what it takes to steward an executive’s time, protect relationships, anticipate needs before they’re spoken, and communicate with clarity when stakes are high. You’ll learn how to blend technology with a human touch, build a trusted network, recover with grace when things go wrong, and recognize the essential value that never shows up on a job description.

This is not a manual promising perfection—it’s a companion for the real world of executive support. You’ll find stories that ring true, wisdom earned in the moments no one sees, and perspective that reframes the role from task management to leadership leverage. Whether you’re stepping into the seat for the first time or have long been the calm in the chaos, these conversations will help you notice what others miss, prepare before anyone asks, and create the quiet space where leaders can think. Pull up a chair. There’s room for you here.

Perfect for readers who enjoy the practical insight and humanity of Brené Brown, Adam Grant, and Cal Newport.
