How Can a Virtual Assistant Be Part of a Team?
When people think of a virtual assistant (VA), they often imagine someone working in isolation, far removed from the daily hustle and bustle of a traditional office environment. This common perception paints a picture of a solitary figure sitting at home, disconnected from the rest of the business. But that’s simply not true.
At Let’s Talk Admin, I’m not just a remote worker; I’m a vital part of every client’s team. I invest time in getting to know the staff members I collaborate with, learning their roles and how we can work together to achieve the best outcomes for the business. In fact, I’m often invited to join in company culture events like end-of-financial-year celebrations, Christmas parties, and virtual meetups, helping me feel even more connected to the teams I support.
Teamwork
For me, being part of a team—whether it’s a small, tight-knit group or a larger team of 20 or more—is deeply ingrained in my professional identity. In my previous corporate roles, I thrived in team environments, either as a team member or in leadership positions. The same principle applies in my role as a virtual assistant, where collaboration, communication, and mutual support are just as important as they would be in any physical workplace.
The clients I work with are incredibly welcoming and treat me no differently from their in-house staff. Often, I have even greater access to the business owners than full-time employees do. This direct communication allows me to brainstorm ideas and make meaningful contributions to improve business processes, helping the company grow and succeed. I’m not just doing tasks—I’m actively engaged in finding ways to drive results.
What other teams do I collaborate with
In addition to the teams I work with in client businesses, I’m also involved in various external groups that enrich my professional experience. I’m a member of networking groups, virtual administration communities, and even participate in sports teams, all of which further enhance my sense of connection and collaboration.
Your Valuable Virtual Assistant (VVA)
So, the next time you think about virtual assistants, remember that they’re not isolated or disconnected. They’re fully integrated into your business team, working just as hard as any in-house employee to support your goals and help your business flourish.
Virtual assistants aren’t just remote workers—they’re dedicated team members, committed to the success of your business.
