Irina Saldicco, Senior Executive Assistant to CIO of Enterprise Technology Risk, Morgan Stanley bank, New- York:

«Read in one breath, easy language and syllable, without tediousness and moralizing. Specific life examples give liveliness to the narrative. Very accurately formulated many of my thoughts and feelings about our profession».

Karina Kamergoeva, Executive Assistant to CEO at PJSC Sovcombank, Moscow:

«The book gives an opportunity to plunge into the world of a person, on which, although not everything depends, but very much in the company and the personal life of the manager. Absolutely unmistakable in this book is the puzzle of a personal assistant. This is the «matrix» that every PA must collect in their head in order to become the best.

I certainly recommend that anyone who wants to be a PRO in this business, have this book with them and go back to it every time when the «matrix» fails :) It always helps to find the cause, recharge your energy and only go forward.

This is one of those books in my life which contains a maximum of useful information for a person who is confidently striving to succeed. I can safely call it the leadership, job description and secrets of a professional. I highly recommend both to assistants and managers. Read within 2 hours».

Olga Schmidt, Vice-President for Legal & Compliance, Schneider Electric, Moscow:

«I’ve read this book in one breath, as it was extremely interesting for me to look at the organization of the assistant’s work through their eyes. Sincere, stated with knowledge of the matter, and with a good message: the description of the profession, which may seem insignificant to the inexperienced reader. However, it would be a great mistake to underestimate the work of the assistant, and the reader will be able to verify this easily. I think that this book will be useful for beginner specialists, since it will help to place correctly the accents and avoid many mistakes in their work».

Kseniya Pavlova, Executive Assistant to President of Russian Union of Entrepreneurs and Industrialists, Moscow:

«Ready to sign under each paragraph! To be a personal assistant, how to be a wizard who, if you do not fly a blue helicopter, at least you will find the fastest optimal solution. This profession, infinitely interesting, needs you to be one step ahead, to anticipate several variants of the events development. It gives so many opportunities for education and self-education, here the main thing is not to be lazy, as you are standing on a space platform and before you are thousands of options, ideas, and beginnings. I also add that the book is written by a practitioner. I read some chapters, with a smile, recognizing myself and my actions. I believe that having at least a tenth of this information in my mind would save me from stupid mistakes, careless acts – what I now call experience.

It’s an excellent handbook, on my desk it will be for sure».

«This is impossible!» – the Reason said. «This is reckless!» – the Experience noted. «This is useless!» – the Pride snapped.

«Try…» – the Dream whispered.

I never could write essays at school; I think I just had no ability to express my words on paper. When in 2013 one of my colleagues invited me to write an article, it was exactly this thought: «Try». Don’t be scared. Do it.

And, do you know? It’s a very obvious and funny thing – for half of what we haven’t done, it’s just because we hadn’t tried.

I’m infinitely appreciative to all my colleagues all over the world for their support, lively participation and interest in my book.

And I’m huge thankful to my parents, for their endless support and lessons to go only straight forward, never give up and do not stop on the way to dreams.
