Phyllis Song: Communicating Effectively with Virtual Assistants

Conveying your vision of a project or goal to your team can be difficult, especially when miles (and maybe time zones) apart. This week Phyllis Song shares how she coaches clients to make the most of the Virtual Assistants on their teams and simple strategies you can use to communicate your wants and needs effectively to the people who support you. Laura and Phyllis discuss why hiring a Virtual Assistant is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and some common roles a virtual team member can help you fill. Phyllis also shares the common communication mistakes that occur when leading a virtual team and how you can avoid them.   Here are a few things you’ll learn during this conversation: How to vet your Virtual Assistant Uncommon tasks you should consider for your Virtual Assistant The most common DiSC type that needs a VA How to create a system to get what you ask for the first time Why celebrating wins with your virtual team is critical for long-term success   Phyllis Song is the Queen of Virtual Assistants.
