What makes great Presentations:
Well, a great speaker! True. Having said that, even a great speaker needs a convincing presentation from time-to-time to aid him/her in delivering his message.
With the digital economy being what it is, we find ourselves continuously bombarded with content demanding our attention, and if lucky, action. And it is impossible to consume it all. Because your presentation will be competing for that attention, your presentation needs to be visually compelling.
The days of “Death-by-bullet-point-presentation” are over.

History of the First 25 Years of the Virtual Assistant Industry
Posted on by Sharon Williams
The Virtual Assistant Industry has a rich but little-known history of pioneering individuals and organizations that saw opportunity in the work-at-home arena to develop and grow businesses that could support and sustain families. This infographic recognizes and shares the story of the industry’s first 25-years. It acknowledges the many women and men who walked the walk and talked the talk that propelled virtual assisting to become the small business resource it is today.
Congratulations to all of the pioneering VAs, and Thank You.
Our Story (from my perspective):
Let’s go back in time, way back, way, way back, to 1981. That’s right! That’s when the concept of secretaries working from home was the exception instead of the norm. As a matter of fact, working from home was frowned upon and individuals who worked from home were considered “second-class workers”; not really contributing to an industry or their household incomes…hobbyist…you name it. Call it what you want, but working from home in the 80s always carried a negative connotation.However, knowing where you come from, acknowledging all the hard work of those that paved the way — using determination, sweat, time and energy to build the industry, starting new, innovative thinking groups, professionally and positively — spreading the message of how businesses benefits.
Knowing your history helps you understand your foundation, where you come from and most important WHY you can now build a long term, sustainable business – it’s because of those that came before you, 10, 15, 20, 25 years ago – people who walked the walk, talked the talk, and spent many hours answering questions and overcoming obstacles, that have paved the way for you be the Virtual Assistant you are today.
Please don’t forget where you came from. Your History is Your Future!
