I am available to speak for teleclasses, webinars and other virtual learning events and also have limited availability to speak live on stage… my favorite speaking topics include:
Hiring a Virtual Support Team – Get the Help you Need Without Spending a Fortune
As a business owner we know that we need help to “get stuff done” – we need the right support to take care of the many administrative, technical and other day to day activities for us so that we can focus our energy on what grows our business. And yet, traditionally the only option has been to hire employees, which is tough for many business owners. Thankfully in today’s digital age there is an alternative – hiring a virtual support professional to give you the help you need in a structure that fits you, your business and your budget.
Becoming an Online Business Manager – Playing a Bigger Game with your Clients (and Yourself)
Yes, there is a way for administrative professionals to create their own thriving business. More and more business owners are looking to hire an Online Business Manager (OBM) when they simply cannot grow their business anymore being the only one in charge. In order for them to take their business to the next level they need to pull themselves out of the day-to-day management activities and focus on growth. They need to hire an Online Business Manager. Join us for this call where we will discuss the nitty gritty details of becoming an Online Business Manager and help you determine if it is a fit for you (or not.)
From Secretary to CEO – Creating Success in Spite of Myself
People think that I was “born to be an entreprenuer” and that simply wasn’t so. I never grew up thinking that I would have my own business… in fact it was quite the opposite. I went to school, got a degree and figured I would work a corporate job forever, until I got really bored and figured there must be something more. Which began my journey of going from secretary to CEO of my own business. I’ve learned alot along the way, but most of all i’ve learned how much we get in the way of our own success and how critical it is to change how we view ourselves, our clients and our business in order to create true success.
