Deputy’s Post

Day 2!!!!! One thing I’ve learned about being a Customer Care and HR Manager VA is how challenging it can be challenging working across time zone. Responding promptly to customer inquiries and aligning with virtual team members can cause delays and miscommunication. ⚡️World time buddy is an essential tool that helped me simplify scheduling by aligning team members and customers time zone visually, and also helped to ease errors. It ensured us a smoother collaboration and improved responsiveness. All the experiences I have gained highlights the importance of flexibility and planning. Being able to adapt to time differences improved my time management to 100% and strengthened my ability to support both customers and team members effectively and efficiently. This is day 2 of the #49daysvalinkedinbootcampwithtma #day2ofvalinkedinbootcamp #linkedinforcreators #Timemanagement #virtualassistant The journey continues 💪👍Mercy Adebayo 🍀

“ 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞.” That’s what a client said when I offered to join her meeting, take notes, and help her catch up later. She was overwhelmed, struggling to focus, and on the verge of skipping the meeting entirely. Here’s the thing, this wasn’t even part of my listed responsibilities during onboarding. But in one of our chats, she mentioned feeling a bit out of it and not strong enough to fully engage. That’s when I offered to step in. I joined the meeting, captured the key points, and sent her everything she needed when she was ready. The relief in her voice afterward? I’ll never forget it. Moments like this remind me why I do what I do. Being an Executive Assistant is not just about organizing schedules or responding to emails. Good VAs aren't just assistants, they are your 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬. It’s about 𝒑𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒑𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆. It’s about quietly lifting the burdens they didn’t even know they could share. Sometimes, the greatest value we bring isn’t in the tasks we’re assigned but in the support we offer when it’s least expected. What do you think? Is executive support just about admin work, or is it something much deeper? #ExecutiveSupport #VirtualAssistant #LeadershipSupport #ProfessionalSupport #GoingAboveAndBeyond #VirtualAssistantsMatter #ClientSuccess #ProactiveSupport #ExecutiveAssistantLife #SupportThatMatters

𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒖𝒏, 𝒘𝒆 𝒐𝒘𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐... 𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑺𝑬𝑳𝑽𝑬𝑺 Growing up as a child, my mom would always say, "Nwata n'ata akara na ata ego nne ya" literally translating to, "A child who eats beancake is eating it's mother's money", figuratively meaning that whatever you chose to do has consequences. If you decide to be laid-back and not put in the work as an amazing VA... As for me and my household, I am that WorldClass Executive and Customer Support Virtual Assistant, always figuring out new and better ways to offer satisfaction and enhance the productivity of my client. Let us do the hard (necessary) things now, for the soft life soon and win together.💪🏽 P.S: How did you learn about thumbnails in video creation? Are there hacks we should know about it?

What are you hiding behind today? Talking with a client last week about our respective to-do lists and how there always seems to be so much to do, I realised something: I have been guilty of keeping 'too busy' with admin work that is not allowing me time to do what I love and am really good at. It’s bad for me and bad for the business. Time to regain Focus and streamline my Energy. So, I bit the bullet and put out the job announcement, delegated a few tasks, and shoved everything else on a new list titled “tackle when twiddling my thumbs”. Cleared the decks and ONLY listed the three big priorities of the week on my schedule. Share your thoughts and if you’ve also found yourself hiding behind a mountain of admin actions, how were you able to regain your focus? #learningfromeachother #peerlearning #sharingexperiences #businessgrowth
