Two accomplished Executive Assistants to prominent CEOs in Silicon Valley have collaborated to create an engaging, delightful must read Sitting on a File Cabinet, Naked, With a Gun: True Stories of Silicon Valley CEO Executive Assistants. What started as a "how to" book for administrators evolved into an insiders' stories of some of the most powerful men and women in Silicon Valley. Linda McFarland and Joanne Linden collaborated to interview CEO EAs throughout Silicon Valley. The book includes entertaining stories and Points of Wisdom™ (POW!™) about lessons learned. |

They have assisted in the development of the curriculum at UCSC for Executive Assistants and now, published their fabulous book Sitting on a File Cabinet, Naked, With a Gun: True Stories of Silicon Valley CEO Executive Assistants.
As founders of PlanetAdmin™, their bold intention is to "Inspire the Greatness Within You." Stephen R. Covey once said, "Motivation is a fire from within." They share their energy, passion and expertise in order to bring programs that inspire and challenge administrative professionals to take their own inner wisdom and knowledge and perform at a level higher than ever before anticipated.
