More respect. More pay. More options. Without leaving the work you're great at.
EA-Pros is the executive development firm behind the Strategic Assistant™ — a new standard for senior EAs, built by an organizational psychologist and senior executive coach, and used by assistants at companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Target, and Capital One.
The 5-minute Strategic Readiness Assessment. 12 questions. See where you stand — and what your next move is.

Somewhere in the last decade, your work changed. You stopped just managing calendars and started managing decisions. Preparing what the board sees. Filtering what reaches the CEO. Holding context no one else in the building holds.
Here's the truth: the value is already in you. What's been missing is the framework, the language, and the development pathway to bring it out at an executive level — and a standard that lets your organization see it.
Because "executive assistant" is an old model in most minds. Working harder inside it won't change what people see. And asking executives to look at an old title and imagine something new isn't fair to you — or to them.
So we built something new. A new category, with a real standard behind it: the Strategic Assistant™. Defined. Developed. Measured. Credentialed.
It's not a new name for the same job. It's a launch pad. Greater confidence. Greater influence. Greater compensation. And real options — thrive right where you are, step into bigger rooms, or move toward Chief of Staff and beyond. You choose. Because for the first time, you can.
This is how you become the strategic partner today's executives can't afford to lead without.
Feeling unseen. Being treated like every other EA when you know you're not. The quiet fear that this role is a dead end. The gap between what you give and what you get back.
Confidence that doesn't wobble in big rooms. A clear next step for your career — and proof the possibilities are still alive. Respect and recognition — seen, heard, and valued as a strategic partner. A real case for higher pay. And clean separation from the pack, in a world that treats all EAs the same.
The Strategic Readiness Assessment shows you exactly where you stand across four stages of strategic growth — benchmarked against other senior executive assistants. You'll know your stage, your gaps, and your next move. Even if that move isn't us. It's built from the same organizational psychology we use inside our programs — so you see the real work before anyone asks you for anything.

Joshua Washington is an organizational psychologist and senior executive coach. He built his career developing C-suite leaders — the same executives you support.
EA-Pros started after a dinner with a group of senior assistants. As Joshua listened, one thing stopped him: the challenges they described were the very ones he was being paid to solve for their executives. Executive problems. Executive-level work.
So his organizational and executive psychology firm assessed the market. The research confirmed what he suspected: most senior EAs had outgrown traditional development years ago, and were hungry for executive-level resources that didn't exist yet. So EA-Pros closed that gap — the first development pathway for senior EAs taught by an executive and grounded in organizational psychology, at a level that actually moves careers.
The result: strategic assistants who thrive — the value you already deliver becoming visible, measurable, and compensated, because you're being developed like an executive.
