Brag Doc Template
Executive Assistant Brag Doc
A brag doc for an Executive Assistant is the proof that you didn't just keep the calendar — you bought the executive's time back. The work is famously invisible when done well, and impossible to reconstruct from memory at review time. This template surfaces what shifted because you were in the seat.

Executive Assistant Brag Doc
What to include
EAs are graded on executive leverage (how much time and attention you returned to the principal), operational excellence (what didn't slip), and judgment (the decisions you made on the principal's behalf that landed). Each section maps to one. Be specific about events you ran, decisions you owned, and the time you reclaimed.

Weak vs. strong bullets
The format does the easy part. The bullets carry the weight. A few examples to set the bar.
Weak
Managed the CEO's calendar.
Strong
Rebuilt the CEO's calendar around 3 protected deep-work blocks per week. Declined or batched 40% of recurring meetings after a 2-week audit. Returned an estimated 6-8 hours of focused work per week.
Weak
Planned the company offsite.
Strong
Owned the 80-person company offsite end-to-end: venue selection, contracts, agenda, travel, dietary, AV. Came in 8% under $180K budget. NPS from attendees: 9.2/10. Three teammates asked for the playbook to use for theirs.
Weak
Handled investor communications.
Strong
Drafted monthly investor updates for CEO review. Coordinated quarterly board prep across CEO, CFO, and 3 board members — pre-reads out 1 week ahead (vs. prior 2 days). Zero board-meeting rescheduling required this year.
Weak
Anticipated the executive's needs.
Strong
Flagged in week 3 that the principal's Q4 was on track for 70+ hours of travel — pushed for an October planning week to consolidate. Saved an estimated 14 hours of redundant trips; principal landed Q4 less burnt out and shipped 2 strategic memos.
Manual template vs. Bloom generated report
Manual brag doc
- Works when you already remember the right examples.
- Requires manual sorting, rewriting, and evidence cleanup.
- Best for a one-time draft or printable structure.
Bloom generated report
- Starts from the work you captured when it happened.
- Organizes entries by goals, skills, impact, and review period.
- Turns daily evidence into shareable summaries and PDF reports.
You don't fill out a Bloom report. Bloom writes it.
The template above is the manual version. Bloom is the generated version. Thirty seconds when something good happens — speak it or type it — and at review time the entire document is in your share sheet. Same shape as the template. Your numbers, your names, your dates. Already written.
