We’re thrilled to introduce our newest live cohort program designed specifically for Executive Assistants and Engagement Managers who want to confidently step into the future of work and lead it.
Understandably, EAs are concerned about how AI is going to impact their career. We're here to support and empower you. At Mindmaven, we strongly believe that AI isn't going to replace exceptional EAs. However, EAs who use AI will begin to replace those who don't.
Over six weeks, you’ll learn the foundational skills, tools, and automations that help you work faster, think more strategically, and elevate your partnership with your executive in ways that weren’t possible before.

Why Choose AI for EAs?
Over the past 15+ years, Mindmaven has coached and supported Executive Assistants, Engagement Managers, and Chiefs of Staff at some of the world’s fastest-growing companies.
We’ve watched the EA role evolve through shifts in technology, communication, and leadership but nothing compares to the acceleration created by AI.
In the last year alone, thousands of EAs have told us:
- “I know AI is important, but I don’t know where to start.”
“Everyone seems to be using these tools… except me.”
“I want to keep up, but the pace of change feels overwhelming.”
We built AI for EAs to eliminate that overwhelm, to give EAs a trusted place to learn, to bridge the gap between curiosity and capability, and to help you elevate your role in a world where the most impactful EAs will be those who know how to partner with AI, not compete against it.
The Basics:
- Six-week online, live training program designed specifically for Executive Assistants and Engagement Managers
- Four 90-minute coaching sessions led by Senior Coach and Head of AI/Automation, Connor Drake
- Two 60-minute Q&A sessions for hands-on support

Here's what EAs had to say about our Superpowered EA Cohort Course:
"Most EAs are self-taught. You just kind of get thrown into situation and you find yourself growing, and learning new things, and having new tasks.I would recommend this course to those who have been an EA for a few years or more to brush up and refine their skills. I think that this really narrows things down for someone that is established or has been an EA for a while to allow them to really just be better."
"I had been working in the executive support field for seven years before I did this. And I had a really great skill set that I thought was marketable but this course honed it in even further and sharpened some of those skills in a meaningful way."
"I think overall, the course was extremely helpful for me. It was definitely money well spent and definitely helped me to become a better EA. I think the most beneficial part of it is having other EAs speak on frustrations that they've encountered.It's such a mind-blowing experience because it's like I'm not the only one who's going through these types of struggles and I needed that."
