@Mira_Goodluck The only way to learn it is to start doing it.
Volunteer to speak if any opportunities come up. Your first, second and maybe even third speaking experience may not be good, but you will get better with time.
Don’t just watch videos about it, throw yourself into the process.
Transitioning into cybersecurity can be a challenging journey, you must join the right communities, listen to the right people and keep a growth mindset even when you encounter obstacles.
Notable examples:
Nigeria
1. Yomi Awobokun - EA to CEO of Oando Group, later COO of Oando downstream subsidiary, later CEO of Oando downstream, later founder of Enyo Retail
2. Alex Irune - was an EA to Group CEO of Oando, now CEO of Oando upstream and Group ED in Oando
3. There was a Kunle guy in Oando too (can't remember the surname again) that was EA to Group CEO and later became Head of Strategy in the downstream subsidiary
4. Obong Idiong (pictured) - Former EA to Tony Elumelu, later CEO of Africa Prudential Plc, now CEO of Heirs Technologies (both Elumelu companies)
Outside Nigeria
5. Steve Ballmer - Joined Microsoft as assistant to CEO Bill Gates, rose to become CEO of Microsoft.
6. Ursula Burns - Worked as EA to Xerox executives, later become CEO of Xerox herself.
7. Mary Barra - EA to CEO of General Motors. She later became CEO herself.
8. Sam Palmisano - EA to CEO of IBM, later became CEO of IBM.
EA or Chief of Staff to executives is a very good way to prepare people for leadership position.
If you are good on the job, the executives notice you, trust you and that propels your career.
The problem is, these days, people that are not even executives are hiring some virtual assistants (which is fine) but calling them executive assistant. You no be executive, why you dey call your admin assistant executive assistant? That is what the original poster may have been using as standard for executive assistant.
Executive Assistant - proper one to a proper executive - is a top job. You know practically everything about the CEO's (or other executives') job!
for those who don't understand igbo, they went to visit their club member whose wife gave birth. they went with groceries, cooked to entertain themselves and still gave a cash gift to the couple. they did not go there and balanced for the new mom to cook for them.
