A little Monday positivity!

You don't have to be the loudest person in the room to make a difference ☀️

I'll never be one for the hard sell, I'd much rather get to know people, understand what they do and see where I can help.

For me, it's all about building good relationships, earning trust and doing what you say you're going to do. Simple as that!

If that sounds like your kind of approach too, I'd love to connect! 💁‍♀️

Freelance VA, VA agency or Executive Support Partner ... what does your business actually need?

I often fall under the “VA” umbrella because I provide outsourced business support, but I've never felt it quite describes what I do.

As an Executive Support Partner, I get stuck into the businesses I support, getting to know the people, priorities and moving parts so I can take ownership and keep things moving without always needing a to-do list.

From projects and processes to marketing support and working alongside teams in person, I'm there to make life easier.

There's absolutely a place for VAs and VA agencies, but if you're looking for someone to take things off your plate and become a trusted part of your team, that's where I come in! 💁‍♀️

I’ve spent years saying “I’m not a runner”... apparently I might be wrong 😂

Two Parkrun PBs on the trot & I’m genuinely feeling so much fitter for it.

It’s funny, running a business has taught me to keep pushing myself outside my comfort zone and I think this is a prime example of how that’s reflected in my life away from the laptop!

This week’s reward, aside from seeing another PB come through, was bumping into the incredible Dame Kelly Holmes Official! 🤩

Now there’s some inspiration if ever I needed it! Thank you Kelly, you were so gracious & warm.

Definitely feeling inspired to keep going and see where this takes me! 🏃‍♀️

A slightly different post from me today on this rainy Tuesday...

I talk a lot about Leaway, but not very much about the person behind it.

So, here’s a little bit more about me beyond the business!

Apparently, I’m either having a wholesome family day in the countryside… or I’m in the pub. Both are accurate! ☺️

Why?

Because it tells you you’re never doing enough as there’s always something else waiting.

The reality however?

You’ve probably achieved far more than you’ve given yourself credit for.

Running a business isn’t about getting to the end of the list… because there isn’t one.

It’s about recognising the small wins along the way, that’s what keeps the momentum going. 👏

A little reminder for any small business owners...

If social media feels like another job on your never-ending to-do list, you're definitely not alone.

One of the first things I often help clients with isn't creating loads of content.. but just putting a plan in place.

When you know what you're going to post, it becomes so much less overwhelming....

✔️ Share what you know.
✔️ Celebrate your wins.
✔️ Answer the questions your customers ask.
✔️ Show the people behind the business.

You don't need to post every day and you certainly don't need to be perfect. Consistency will always beat perfection, trust me 🙏

What's your biggest challenge with social media... finding the time or knowing what to post?

Two years of Leaway 🎉

Feeling very grateful as I head into the weekend.

It’s been a journey with plenty of highs and lessons, but above all it’s introduced me to some incredible people and clients, many of whom I now consider friends.

I was planning to recreate last year’s castle photo… but I’ve been so busy I never actually made it there. So AI had to lend a hand this time! 🤭

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

Here’s to year three! 🥂

Being busy isn't always the same as being productive.

I've worked with business owners who are working evenings, weekends and holidays, yet still feel behind....

Often the problem isn't definitely not due to a lack of effort.
It's a lack of capacity.

There comes a point where the answer isn't another productivity hack, another app or another notebook, but human hands-on help.

The most productive thing you can do is stop trying to do everything yourself.

One of the funny things about being a PA is the number of hats you end up wearing.

Depending on where you find me, I'll be carrying a different identity... I spend my days supporting brilliant businesses behind the scenes, so I often appear on different websites, in different team photos and in different company clothing too.

To the outside world, it might look like I have multiple identities. In reality, I'm simply trusted to become part of a client's team, adapting to their way of working and helping keep things moving.

Trust, discretion and flexibility are a huge part of the role, and it's a privilege to be welcomed into so many different businesses.

Professional shapeshifter? Perhaps 😊 It's one of the reasons I love what I do.

A little throwback to the May Bank Holiday weekend and Medway Sunlight Rotary's fabulous Dragon Boat Race team raising money for We Are Beams 💜

The last month has been a bit of a whirlwind with client work, networking, fundraising and some much needed family time, including a break in beautiful Norfolk.

Since getting back, I've looked back through my camera roll and realised just how much has been packed into such a short space of time. This photo is just one of many great memories from a very busy few weeks.

No wonder the days are flying by!
