The Calendar Tetris Challenge
The Hall of Fame.
Real requests from executive assistants, as their executives said them, and what a great EA does with each. Every one is reviewed before it appears here, with names changed.
Accepted entries appear here once they're reviewed. Be one of the first.
Examples from the ANCI team
Written by us to show what a great entry looks like. They are not entries and can't win.
“Move my 1:1 with Sam so I can do the board call, but not into Thursday, I'm flying.”
What a great EA doesSam is in London, the board call can't move, and Thursday is a travel day. Moves the 1:1 to Wednesday morning Pacific, Wednesday afternoon for Sam, and tells Sam why.
“Get me 30 minutes with the CFO at Northwind before our pricing review.”
What a great EA doesThe CFO's assistant runs her calendar and only answers by email. Writes to the assistant, offers three times before the review, and books the one she picks.
Entries are shown only when their author opts in, as first name, title and type of company. Official rules.
