    How to Create a Powerful Virtual Team

    Tony Holbrook leads a busy life—he’s a business owner, a consultant, a CrossFit gym owner and trainer, and a dad to four. It’s a lot to juggle, but thanks to his team of trusty virtual assistants, he’s been able to consistently grow his business over the years.  We have much to learn from Tony, who masterfully organizes and operates his many ventures. He’s a big fan of virtual teams and credits his team for making his business more efficient and productive. He shares how he structures his virtual teams, where he sees his place as the leader, and what he does when he recognizes it’s time to pivot. Key Takeaways:  Some may shy away from virtual teams, but Tony has found that being open to a broader pool has opened up more opportunities to find the right person for the role. Everything needs to be documented, even a tangent that comes up in a meeting. If it’s not recorded, it slips through the cracks and it’s no longer serving anybody.  There’s something you can learn from every member of your team. Tony encourages leaders to be curious about the lived experiences that others bring to the table.  Just because you ask somebody to do a job doesn’t mean they will be successful. As a leader, it's up to you to determine whether your team members are set up for success.  Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Tony Holbrook Learn more about Don’t Panic Management Reclaim your time with the Panic-Proof Blueprint

    How to Build a Career as a Virtual Assistant

    Some may view being a virtual assistant as a stepping stone in between roles, but a career is very much possible. We’re diving into this topic with Hannah Kahn, our Chief People Officer at Don’t Panic Management. Hannah reflects on her career journey and shares how she grew from an Administrative Assistant to her current role and made herself an irreplaceable employee.  Of course, Hannah keeps a close pulse on all things virtual work-related, and we hear her perspectives on how to collaborate remotely, what the rise of AI tools means for VAs, and more!  Key Takeaways: Curiosity goes a long way for virtual assistants. Hannah says it’s one of the easiest ways to become irreplaceable and grow in your role. Even if a virtual assistant isn’t responsible for developing strategy, understanding the vision and goals allows them to take ownership of their tasks and make more informed decisions. A virtual assistant can be an invaluable member of your team. Hannah likens her role to a “mega assistant” who oversees the big picture.  Hannah’s #1 tip for anyone looking to hire a VA is to identify the tasks you’d like to delegate before you start working with your assistant.  Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Hannah Kahn Learn more about Don’t Panic Management Reclaim your time with the Panic-Proof Blueprint

    How to Successfully Juggle Full-Time and Virtual Assistant Work 

    Virtual assistants are notorious for fascinating and sometimes unexpected career crossovers. That’s certainly the case for DPM VA, Emilee Joseph. A true powerhouse, Emilee balances her virtual assistant work with a demanding full-time career in government work. Pretty impressive, we’d say!   In this episode, Emilee takes us through her unique career journey and shares why she decided to pursue VA work, what it has taught her, and how it complements her development in her day job. Emilee offers a valuable perspective from her position of being both a leader and an assistant at the same time.   Key Takeaways Don’t be shy if you bring a novice perspective to the table. It’s a really helpful way to get a neutral, outside perspective.  Every repetitive process can (and likely should) be taught and delegated to a virtual assistant.   The key trait of a successful virtual assistant is a willingness to learn.   Traditional jobs may have firmer boundaries around each person's tasks, but a virtual assistant can expand their skills by proactively looking for new processes to take over.  When you create a teachable moment, you’re sharing your skillset with others and equipping them with something they can use forever.  Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Emilee Joseph  Learn more about Don’t Panic Management  Reclaim your time with the Panic-Proof Blueprint

    How PR Leaders Can Stay Cool In the Face of Crisis

    As a leader in the PR world, Gini Dietrich is no stranger to living (and thriving!) in a storm. And she’s been thrown a couple of curveballs, too, like leading a company through a bumpy recession and transitioning her team to be fully remote when nobody in her industry was doing it. Yet she’s somehow navigated it all without losing her cool or skipping her morning cycle session.   Leading a business is a bumpy ride, but Gini is a master at staying calm and prepared for any challenge. A lot of it comes down to delegating the things that don’t require her attention so that she can focus on the big picture. She shares her methods for setting up her virtual team for success and how she stays adaptable to change.   Key Takeaways:  Delegation is hard for leaders, especially for women who are expected to be able to do it all. It’s important to be protective of your time and do the things that only you can do (or the things that make you happy). Gini walks us through three lists that help her get clear on this.   Your priorities will change over time, and that’s okay! The important thing is to check in with yourself regularly to make sure your systems are still serving you.   Managing a remote team member is very different from managing someone in person. Gini relies on video tutorials and clear documentation to establish a solid workflow.   Resources from this Episode:  Learn more about Gini Dietrich  Visit the Spin Sucks website  Learn more about Don’t Panic Management  Reclaim your time with the Panic-Proof Blueprint

He is also a communications strategist and Emmy award-nominated producer committed to helping brands enhance and protect their reputation.   As someone who works in public relations, remaining calm and strategic in the face of challenges is incredibly important. In this episode, we chat with Nick about the importance of administrative help, self-awareness, delegation, and collaboration in creating an efficient and scalable agency model while working with a virtual assistant.   Key Takeaways: One of the biggest benefits of working with a VA is that it frees up senior staff time, allowing them to focus on client work.  We spend more time in our inboxes than we think we do. Utilizing a VA can help you find important emails proactively and point out urgent requests so that you can focus on your business goals.   If you’re looking for a VA who can commit like an internal employee to your business, it’s important to lay out the expectations early on so that you can set them up for success.   Despite the evolution of AI technology, it’s always going to require a human touch.   Resources From This Episode: Learn more about Nick Puleo  Visit the Comsint website Learn more about Don’t Panic Management  Panic-Proof Blueprint
