Hello Reader Last night I was at the Strategic PA Network Awards, held at The Grove Hotel. Marianne and Sarah have created and curated a fantastic event celebrating the success of the professional assistant and suppliers that work with those amazing assistants. What I love about the Strategic PA Network Awards is they have embraced the Virtual Assistant industry into their community. I was lucky enough to be:
So... I didn't win (there were some amazing L&D Trainers in all honesty and I was grateful to be named among them) but I did get highly commended in the External Network of the Year. Congratulations to all the winners in both the Virtual Assistant categories and all over categories of the awards. As I sat at my desk this morning, I reminded of an email from Jonathan Carroll over the weekend which said: "Celebrating Othersโ Success, a reminder that joy multiplies when we lift one another up. ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ค๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ด๐ฎ๐ช๐ค ๐ง๐ข๐ฃ๐ณ๐ช๐ค.When we rejoice in the accomplishments of others, we affirm the truth that abundance and success are not finite. Each victory adds a note to the symphony of our shared human story, weaving stronger bonds within our communities. By celebrating others, we strengthen empathy, deepen our connection to the boundless love of the Universe, and magnify joy for all beings. Every acknowledgment, every shared smile, sends ripples outward that return to us in unexpected and beautiful ways. Today, find joy in someone elseโs win. Let it inspire you. Let it remind you that we rise higher when we rise together." So as I leave you to go out about your Tuesday morning, I am going to take a moment to think about all of the amazing Virtual Assistants and Assistants I saw last night (sorry if you were there and we didn't get to chat) and be proud of the ripple that we are outwardly sharing with the wider business world. Have a great day Amanda ps. If you want to be part of the amazing network of Virtual Assistants I support - there are 2 options:
