Be the Ultimate Assistant:
A celebrity assistant's secrets to working with any
high-powered employer
Release date June 23, 2008 Foreword by Olympia Dukakis.
A must-have insiders guide! Real life tools and advice
for every professional assistant and their high-powered
employers. A first-hand look at the world of a celebrity
assistant, and its application to the larger realm of
all professional assistants. Enlightening and entertaining,
this book is filled with true stories and lessons from
author Bonnie Low-Kramen's 22+ years working with Academy
Award-winning actress Olympia Dukakis. Low-Kramen is also
a co-founder of New York Celebrity Assistants (NYCA).
The author comments... "I love being an assistant. In
fact, I strive to be an 'ultimate' assistant, someone
who seeks excellence and improvement - not just on some
days, but every day. I don't always succeed, but this
is what I try to do. Are you so inclined? Ultimate assistants
are like that, and I am privileged to know quite a few,
including some whose experiences are in the book. I wrote
the book for three reasons.
The first is that this work is frequently misunderstood
and has been subject to warped misconceptions by the media.
The second is that there are too few resources for assistants,
and certainly not only those who work for celebrities.
Third, there is a tremendous curiosity about the work.
I decided that I was in a unique position to set the record
straight and tell it the way it really is to those who
actually want to know the truth of it!"
