GetAhead VA’s long-standing client, Shannon, runs a
leadership coaching business. Long before the coronavirus pandemic, she had
arranged an international, in-person, four-day conference with thirty
delegates. When the global crisis threw a spanner in the works, she had no
option but to hold the conference on Zoom instead.
Running a conference on Zoom has different demands from
running one at a standard conference venue. While all the stress of catering
and overnight accommodation disappears, different concerns about internet
connections, hardware, software and real-time tech support present themselves
instead. Shannon needed a virtual conference facilitator and we’re proud to say
she came straight to us. At the time, our experienced VA Jenny Serra didn’t
have direct experience of facilitating Zoom conferences, but she has used Zoom
a lot and is one of our most tech-savvy VAs. She built on her existing skills
and knowledge to deliver exactly what Shannon needed.
