Working With Me: What It’s Actually Like

When people ask what it’s like to work with me, I usually say:
“It depends. But we’ll figure it out together.”

I don’t run a one-size-fits-all process. I don’t drop clients into a funnel or make them fill out ten forms before we speak. The work I do, and how I do it, depends on the person I’m working with, their goals, and what’s actually getting in their way.

Because what you think you need when you start outsourcing admin… often isn’t what you really need.

It Starts With a Conversation

When we begin working together, we don’t just dive straight into to-do lists and deadlines. We talk.

I ask where you are now. What’s working, what’s slowing you down, what’s been stuck on your plate for far too long. Then we look at where you want to be. What you’d love to hand off, how you want your week to feel, and what kind of support would make a real difference.

That conversation is everything.

Because if we skip it, we’re just guessing. I’d rather build something that fits. Not force something that doesn’t.

It’s Not About Doing Everything

Some people imagine a Virtual Assistant as a kind of human Swiss Army knife: answering phones; chasing invoices; managing social media; proofreading reports; booking travel; handling inboxes, and magically knowing how to use every bit of software on the planet.

That’s not me.

What I offer is clear, structured, adaptable support. It might involve inbox and diary management. It might involve event logistics, admin for funding applications, or formatting and proofing reports. Whatever the work is, it’s built around communication, not assumption.

I’ll never bluff, ghost, or guess. If I need something clarified, I’ll ask. And if I say I’ve got it, I do.

Calm, Capable, and Clear

Clients who enjoy working with me usually say the same few things:

• “I know it’s handled.”
• “You keep me on track.”
• “You’re the only one who reminds me what I said I’d do.”
• “I don’t have to explain it twice.”

I work best with people who value structure, honesty, and a bit of quiet competence. People who are overwhelmed, not because they’re disorganised, but because they’re juggling too many roles.

And people who are ready to stop doing it all themselves.

You Bring the Vision. I’ll Bring the Process.

You don’t need to show up polished. You don’t need to have a folder called “VA Onboarding” ready to go.

You just need to know that you’re tired of chasing your own tail. You know some kind of admin support would help.

If you’re not sure what that support should look like yet, that’s okay.

We’ll talk. I’ll ask questions. We’ll build something that works. Not just for your business, but for you.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “That’s exactly what I need,” then book a free call. No pressure, no prep required. Just a conversation to see what would actually help.
