Future Guests — You Can Be One Too!

March 20, 2009

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about some of the future guests I will be having on upcoming episodes of A Virtual Perception this spring.

They include:
Social Media VA Rock Star – Kimberly LeRiche
Co-Founder of the popular VAClassroom — Craig Cannings
Real Estate VA Extraordinaire — Megan Barber
Co-founder of the new REVA Institute — Anna Baron

Also in the coming months  expect a VA Roundtable  — which will  be a chat amongst several VAs about many popular industry topics like social media, client issues and more!

Also, expect a very special LIVE podcast in April complete with chat capabilities! More details about that coming soon :)

Finally, some topics I am looking to explore — VA Author Assistant (I know you are out there — if you have experience doing this sort of work, please contact me), Confidentiality & Ethics, & Networking.

If you are interested in participating and have experience with any of the topics above, please contact me. If you have an idea of your own and would like to talk with me about that — don’t be shy — send me an email — darlene(at)mypodcastharmony.com

I look forward to hearing from you and as always, thank you for listening!


It is Virtual Assistant Week at Connecting2Give.com!

March 16, 2009

Virtual Assistant Week at Connecting2Give is here!

What  is Connecting2Give? As explained on the Connecting2Give website: “Connecting2Give is about connecting people with needs to those who can fulfill those needs, and encouraging them to connect on a deeper level than that of just someone who shipped off a box, or sent an email.”

Gwynne, a Virtual Assistant, is the founder behind this awesome web movement.  Gwynne has decided to feature businesses that give of themselves to the community at large.  It was an obvious choice then for Gwynne to chose to highlight the Virtual Assistant Forums. The Virtual Assistant Forums is a free online community full of resources and supportive members. It was actually where I gathered much of the information needed for forming my business.

Today kicks off a week-long series of Virtual Assistant Week giveaways. I had the opportunity to interview Gwynne, as well as, several authors who donated their books to this giveaway event.

Listen to my interviews and  learn more about the authors and Gwynne, the founder of Connecting2Give by visiting the following web page: http://mypodcastharmony.com/avp/c2g.html

Episode 14 Released

Episode 14 Released
Giving Back

I have been a virtual assistant for over a year now and I have noticed a common trait amongst many Virtual Assistants. Virtual Assistants seem to be involved in one type of project or another. Whether that project is helping out another virtual assistant or pitching in with a project in their local community, a virtual assistant always seems to be there to lend a helping hand. Gwynne of The 25th Hour VA is one of those Virtual Assistants. Her project Connecting2Give is still pretty new, but it has the makings of becoming something truly awesome.

In this episode I talk to Gwynne about her project to find out what it is and what she hopes it will accomplish in the future. Gwynne also reveals details about an upcoming giveaway event with Virtual Assistant Forums!
