The 6 Non-Negotiable I’d Require of My Assistants Going Into 2026
If assistants feel frustrating, inconsistent, or exhausting… this episode is for you.
Because here’s the truth: that’s usually a leadership and systems issue, not a people issue… Mic drop. 🎤
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 6 standards I would absolutely be holding my assistants to in 2026 — not to be controlling, but to create clarity, structure, and confidence for everyone involved.
We’re talking about:
Why your assistant must know and track their numbers (and yours)
What “hands-on with every guest” should actually look like
Owning the guest experience- every single time
Daily + weekly debriefs and why silence kills culture
Treating this career like a business, not a hobby
Why assistants need to actively invest in themselves and their future
These aren’t random rules.
They’re standards that protect your time, your energy, and your business.
If something in this episode hits a nerve… good. That’s usually where the growth is.
