Entrepreneur Wellness: Gwen’s Assistant

Have you had a servant's heart since a young age? Maybe your passion is serving others, but are you setting boundaries to protect your wellness? In this episode, I am chatting with my executive assistant, India Fordham, about her role as a phenomenal executive assistant and how she takes on her role each day while still protecting herself. 

 

India Fordham is a virtual executive assistant who is dedicated, passionate, and determined in the work of her business. She seeks understanding in all aspects, is resourceful when faced with adversity, and desires to be an asset to others. She finds joy in the smallest things in life and is grateful for each day she has to fulfill her purpose. 

 

Throughout her collegiate years and beyond, she led multiple projects in media, editing, publications, and development for organizations, internships, and programs. In addition to leading various projects, she has assisted individuals and teams in cultivating their business, coordinating schedules, and planning events in the entertainment, music, non-profit, and education industries.

 

When she is not assisting her clientele, India enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, and trying new restaurants. She believes in being a student of knowledge, so you can find her reading a new book, listening to a podcast, or researching a new topic of interest. 

 

"Assess what's important and who's important to you, and compare and contrast that with what you're doing now and where you want your life to be in the future." - India Fordham
