Hi there 👋🏻 as we tumble into autumn like the leaves from the trees, I thought I would reintroduce myself and let you know a little bit about me and what I do🤗 I’m Patricia, I was a Senior Executive Assistant (EA) for a leading global bank in London for over 12 years. About 5yrs ago, my husband and then 8month old daughter and I, relocated to the Portuguese island of Madeira (famous for its Wine, Levada Walks and Cristiano Ronaldo) where, during the Covid Years, we setup our own sports club and, after all the lockdowns became parents for a second time. We have been back in the UK, since last year August and can honestly say that Colchester is our home, we really do love living here; before relocating to Madeira, I was an East London girl and my husband a Hertfordshire boy 😁 The decision to set myself up as a Virtual Assistant (VA) was of course based on our family; I can still work but also be around for the children at this point in their young lives. What type of VA am I? I guess you could say that I am more of a traditional VA in so much that the type of work I do now is similar to what I did in my previous role. Here are a few (not limited to) examples: 📎 Inbox and Diary Management 📎 Data Entry 📎 Travel Management (I am an ATOL & ABTA protected Travel Agent) 📎 Research 📎 Expenses Management I’m also captain to a local netball team and love to play Squash too. When I can, I try to sign up to creative “dates” such as photo walks and just generally getting to meet people and making new friends. Here is a little update on my availability, as of this month I am able to take on more work as my little one is now at creche more days of the week. If I sound like someone that you can work with then please do send me a message and we can go from there. Are you looking forward to now and the end of the year? I don't know about you but I feel like there is a buzz in the air. 📸 Farlie Photography #millsvirtualassistance #yourmostvaluableasset #businessinvestment #bestinvestment #va #virtualassistant #callingallbusinessowners #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessessex #executiveassistant #adminsupport 

What did you do at work today? I set up tables and chairs for a brunch buffet for 65 tomorrow. This screenshot I took of myself just makes me laugh. My life is the absolute opposite of boring that is for sure. I think that’s why I continue to be an executive assistant.. because it’s a little bit of everything and I never get bored… We are pretty much unicorns because we master everything we have to do, be it calendar management, arranging events, travel itineraries (a personal favorite of mine where I’m always trying to up the anti), running errands, ordering gifts, flowers, taking meeting notes.. filing expenses.. Tell me assistants aren’t actually unicorns in disguise. 🦄 #executiveassistant #unicorn #doingitall #instilettos

#Humility in leadership is akin to the keystone in an arch; it holds everything together. Research shows that humble leaders foster better team collaboration, increase organizational flexibility, and enhance collective learning—all critical for navigating change. According to a study published in the 'Journal of Management', humble leaders are more effective at facilitating group integration, which directly influences team performance and adaptability. In an era of constant change, humility allows leaders to remain grounded, acknowledge limitations, and seek input from others, which leads to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. As per a survey by Catalyst, employees who experience humility in leadership exhibit greater innovation and engagement, primarily because a humble leader creates an environment where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities rather than failures. In short, humility not only dresses a leader in grace but also weaves a fabric of resilience and openness within the organization, making it better suited to evolve with changing times. #LeadershipHumility #OrganizationalCulture #ChangeManagement
