“I have learnt to be my own EA. As an EA you’re so in control of leads’ diaries, that we sometimes forget about ourselves and the importance of our own routine.”
“Humans, by their nature, need this bonding with others. Very few people work individually anymore, and the nature of work is much more team based.”
“You really miss those social conversations you’d have while walking to work or making a cup of tea. That has an impact. Maybe in a way you don’t recognise at the time.”
“That was a big challenge in the beginning - we want to be green, but Covid had to come first.”
