    Event Sponsor: Athena Executive Services, Inc.

    At Athena Executive Services, we pair high-caliber, part-time, virtual executive assistants with swamped and successful business owners and executives.

    Our clients experience freedom and peace of mind, creating space in their life to achieve goals and fulfill their dreams. They also get the balance in their life that they have been seeking: less stress, more satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment.

    Our clients’ communities are left with a healthier, happier, more peaceful, and more effective boss, partner, parent, or friend.

    Some benefits people get from working with us:

    • The ability to spend more time on what they are needed for most in their company; wasting less time on things that can be delegated.
    • A newfound peace of mind and balance. They are working out; ending the workday at a reasonable time; attending more family events; having time for critical thinking about their business; etc.
    • Our Executive Assistants work from home in the United States, with their own equipment. Our clients save money by not having to provide office space, equipment, benefits, etc.
    • Our team is experienced in being on virtual/remote teams and performing well in that environment. We work with our clients to establish effective communication structures so there is clarity about what work is going to be done and what has been accomplished.
    • Support is available 10-30 hours per week. It’s amazing the difference 10 hours per week of support makes in the life of a business executive. Athena clients don’t pay for more hours than they need.
