Build a single source of truth
Set your calendar to display two or three secondary time zones. Never calculate manually. Every invite should be created in the executive's home zone and confirmed with the zone name written out in the invite body.

Block deep-work windows before you accept external meetings. Cluster calls into two or three blocks a day, and defend at least one no-meeting morning per week.
A calendar with a deliberate shape is the clearest evidence that an assistant is thinking, not just booking.
