CEO Client Case Study: How Carole Gained 20 Hours of Business & Life Time Back

Sometimes we need to take an unapologetic moment to toot our own horn, right? 😉

Today I'm tooting the horn for one of my VA team members! 🙌

Our wonderful, smart and charming VA Sophie and how she supported one of our lovely clients, the impressive, kind and always smiling Carole Urey 😄

Sophie stepped in to stop Carole from being overwhelmed, when everyone felt like they had unfettered access to her as a CEO.

She found herself deeply lacking any ‘head down’ time between meetings.

Plus meeting that could have been 15 minutes, often wandered into longer 45 minute meetings.

Worse yet, meetings that could have been Slack chats were taking over her days.

🔑 Sophie gently set boundaries and became an effective gate keeper of Carole's time, so she could focus where she was needed most in the business.

❇️ Sophie made sure that anyone needing a meeting came to Sophie first, instead of freely booking time with Carole.

❇️ Any meetings requested, came with a a talking point, or agenda - so Carole knew what she needed to attend and what meetings could be handled by someone else.

❇️ Repeating 1:1s and internal meetings were set a regular slot - same day/ same time where possible, which wasn’t just good for Carole, but for her team as well.

✨ She finally had more space to think and dive into deep work than ever before.

👏 A beautiful pairing, with Sophie being chosen by Carole as a fit for not just her but the wider team culture too, which is something we always consider in the matching process.

Thank you Carole, for such kind words 😊
