Frequently Asked Questions...
How do I decide I may need a Virtual Assistant coach or mentor?
The best time to make the decision is before you are overwhelmed with everyday details of building your Virtual assistant practice. Take a hard look at where you are, what you have to get done and where you want to be. They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Take time now to write down your goals. Look at where you are and how to are going to get to where you want to be. For many working with a coach or mentor or event taking online training will help fast track that journey.
What is the difference between a coach and a mentor?
Coaching and mentoring use the same skills and approach but coaching is short term task-based and mentoring is a longer term relationship.
Mentoring is an ongoing relationship that can last for a long period of time. It can be more informal and have a broader view. Mentors in general are more seasoned in their industry and can pass on knowledge, experience and guide you in the best direction possible.
Coaching is a relationship that has a set duration. It is more structured in nature and in on a scheduled basis. In most cases it is short-term and time bound. It is to help with specific development in areas that need the most focus.
Is the 30 minute consultation totally obligation free or is there a catch?
No catch what-so-ever! Your 30-minute virtual assistant discovery session is 100% Free. This is a great time to see if there is synergy between us. We need to mesh to be able to have a good mentoring or coaching relationship. It can not be forced, it needs to feel right for both parties. Thus why having this session together is so important. You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it first. Right?! If you're not interested in , don't worry, you will still walk away with some easy to implement ideas that you can start using in your Virtual Assistant practice same day. It is a win-win!
How do I know what I need? Coaching, mentoring, training or just a community for support?
Honestly, just being here you already know what you need at least a little bit deep down. In general though, you need all of the above. You need mentoring, you need coaching, you need training and you absolutely need a community. All those pieces are lining you up for success. We can hone in on where you are, where you want to be and how you are going to get there. Schedule your free discovery session to dive deeper.
What if I only need support occasionally?
That is not a problem. Just like all Virtual Assistants, I am completely flexible and have programs that are on demand. This type of program works for you only when YOU need it. As the client, it is entirely up to you as to how often I work with you. To learn more, schedule your discovery session and we can explore this option more when we chat.
