Laura Johnston is the creator of The Assistant's Handbook and a Dubai-based EA. Laura is an EA cheerleader and is passionate about sharing knowledge, team culture and employee engagement.

Laura's journey started just out of university when she joined an automotive consultancy supporting the Chairman. Becoming an EA wasn't originally the plan but she immediately found the role hugely rewarding and loved the fact that no two days were the same. Since then Laura has worked in both startups and corporate, and will soon be jumping into new projects.

Laura created The Assistant's Handbook in April 2020 and wants to empower assistants to holistically take control of their career with actionable How Tos and tried-and-tested recommendations.

We cover a lot in this episode, from the beginning of Laura's career, what she finds really rewarding in her role, how she decided to launch The Assistant's Handbook and much much more. Laura has such a great way of explaining why she loves her career and how she is evolving and sharing her knowledge.
