I could not put this book down. The stories were interesting, relevant and I thought the Points of Wisdom at the end of each chapter were a nice summary. As a career EA, it made me proud of my chosen profession.E. Conway
An Entertaining and Insightful Read for Administrative Professionals
This was an enjoyable read! The book is filled with real life scenarios that CEO assistants have encountered in their professional life, how they resolved the issues, and the lessons learned. The practical tips (Points of Wisdom) at the end of each chapter were my favorite “take-away”. As someone who can personally relate to many of these stories, these tips and tools are important for developing or enhancing the assistant’s partnership with their supervisor and for their career. Thanks to all the contributors who shared their honest stories and valuable lessons with us!A.P.
A Must Read For New and Seasoned EA’s!!
“Sitting on a File Cabinet..” is a must read for every administrative professional!! I already own 2 copies (one for me and one to loan to friends) and I’m buying another 10 copies at Christmas time for my colleagues. It’s absolutely fabulous!! I laughed hysterically at some of the stories. I could relate all too well with many of the experiences shared by other EA’s. Linda and Joanne did a great job illustrating the challenges that administrative professionals encounter every day and the humor and humility it takes to be successful in our jobs. It’s a great learning tool for those newer to the profession and those of us with many years of experience. I can’t wait for the sequel!Cindy

The book is funny and easy to read, not to mention full of valuable lessons and advice.L. Phillips
Excellent, Relevant, Motivating, Entertaining
“Sitting on a File Cabinet, Naked, With a Gun…” is superbly written. It addresses all of the career and situational experiences an executive assistant might encounter in an extremely entertaining, yet relevant way. Reading it was like speaking directly to a witty, intelligent mentor. I instantly connected with the authors and felt like they knew me by name. It is the best book of its kind. I highly recommend this book to every assistant out there and their bosses. Purchase the book and “Get it done!”…Gina J.
