SFEA Labs Community
Good work doesn't speak for itself anymore.
SFEA Labs helps ambitious operators, executive support professionals, and career-driven women turn invisible work into visible value.

Built for the person who wants to
- Be seen as strategic, not just helpful
- Speak with more authority in rooms that matter
- Ask for more without sounding unsure
- Use AI and systems to work smarter
- Stop figuring out every workplace problem alone
- Build career options before they need them
Created by Funmi Dosunmu, founder of SixFigureEA. Built from more than a decade of close-range leadership support and modern career strategy.

The real problem
You are trusted with important work, but trust does not always turn into money, visibility, or a clear next step.
You are the person people rely on when details matter, when leaders are moving fast, when systems are messy, when priorities change, and when someone has to quietly make the work make sense.
That kind of work takes judgment. It takes emotional intelligence. It takes operational range. It takes communication skill. But if you cannot explain the value of that work, it can get treated like background support instead of business impact.
SFEA Labs exists for the gap between being good at the work and being positioned for the opportunities that should come from it.
What this actually is
This is not another course you buy, half-watch, and feel guilty about later.
SFEA Labs is an ongoing community for people who need practical career strategy while they are actively doing the work.
Inside, we focus on the moments that usually get skipped in traditional career advice: how to respond when your scope keeps expanding, how to make leadership trust your judgment, how to document invisible work, how to prepare for compensation conversations, how to use AI without feeling behind, how to set boundaries without sounding difficult, and how to turn your day-to-day work into a clearer career story.
In plain English, Labs helps you:
- Find the words for what you already do well
- Build systems that make your work easier to see
- Understand what senior leaders notice and reward
- Make smarter moves before you are desperate for a new job
- Get perspective from people who understand the role, the politics, and the pressure
Who it is for
For the operators behind the outcomes.
SFEA Labs is for Executive Assistants, admin business partners, Chiefs of Staff, operations professionals, project coordinators, business support leads, admin leaders, and career-driven women doing valuable work that often goes unseen.
You are trusted, but under-positioned.
You want people to understand the judgment, planning, and leadership access behind your work.
You want practical answers.
Not generic “be more strategic” advice. You want scripts, examples, systems, and actual next steps.
You are building options.
You want stronger skills, better visibility, more confidence, and a network that can open doors over time.

Community
A room for the questions you cannot always ask at work.
The hard part is not always the task. Sometimes it is the wording. The timing. The politics. The follow-up. The moment you realize your role has expanded, but your title and pay have not caught up.
Inside the community, you can ask for help before you over-explain, undercharge, over-function, or quietly accept work that needs a better conversation.
That is the kind of question SFEA Labs is built for.
Executive Assistance 101
Executive support teaches you how power moves.
EA 101 gives you one of the clearest windows into leadership, decision-making, communication, prioritization, and operational trust.
Even if your title changes, the skills travel: judgment, discretion, systems thinking, stakeholder management, executive communication, and the ability to make complex work easier for senior leaders to act on.
EA 101 helps you build:
- Calendar and workflow strategy
- Executive communication
- Managing up
- Stakeholder management
- Meeting, travel, event, and expense systems
- Career positioning and negotiation readiness
Job Referral & Opportunity Network
Career growth moves faster when people know what you are good at and where you are trying to go.
The Job Referral & Opportunity Network gives members a place to share roles, referrals, hiring insight, salary context, and opportunity intel.
It is not a magic job machine. It is a practical network for people who understand that the best opportunities often move through trust, reputation, timing, and warm information before they hit the public internet.
Use the network to:
- Share relevant roles
- Ask for referral guidance
- Understand compensation context
- Compare interview language
- Get insight on what hiring teams actually value
- Build professional relationships before you need them

Built from close-range access to leadership.
I have supported more than 30 senior-level executives, including seven CEOs. That gave me a front-row seat to how leaders think, what they trust, what they reward, where communication breaks down, and why some high-performing people still get overlooked.
SFEA Labs brings that lens into a practical community for the people doing the work behind the work. You will learn how to communicate value, build better systems, understand leadership expectations, and make smarter moves before you feel stuck.
FAQ
Questions before you join?
Is SFEA Labs only for Executive Assistants?
No. Executive Assistants are still central to the SixFigureEA story, and EA 101 remains part of the community. But Labs now also serves operators, admin leaders, business support professionals, Chiefs of Staff, project coordinators, and career-driven women doing valuable work that often goes unseen.
Is this still cohort-based?
No. SFEA Labs is open enrollment. You can join anytime and start with the resources most relevant to your current season of work.
What happened to weekly coaching?
The community now includes bi-weekly live working sessions. These sessions may include trainings, office hours, Q&A, hot seats, tool demos, and strategic discussions.
What if I cannot attend live?
You still get value through the Masterclass & Tool Demo replay library, templates, EA 101, and community discussion. Attending live is helpful, but it is not the only way to use the community.
What is the Job Referral & Opportunity Network?
The Job Referral & Opportunity Network gives members a place to exchange roles, referrals, hiring insight, salary context, and opportunity intel. It is a practical network, not a guaranteed placement service.
What is the CESE designation?
CESE stands for Certified Executive Support Expert. Members who complete Executive Assistance 101 can earn the designation as a completion credential. Learn more about CESE here.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes. SFEA Labs can be submitted for reimbursement through professional development, admin training, leadership support, operations training, or AI/workplace skills development. Reimbursement documentation is available so you can send a clear request to your manager or learning and development team. The request kit includes monthly and annual payment language, including the $1,500/year option that saves $300.
Will this guarantee me a raise or promotion?
No. Labs gives you tools, language, community, strategy, and support. Your results depend on your role, company, timing, execution, and how you use the resources.
