What's the difference between Joy coaching and traditional VA training?
Traditional VA training focuses on skills like tools and processes (e.g., Asana or email management), but joy coaching dives into the "why" behind your work. We blend practical VA strategies with emotional intelligence, helping you shift from survival mode to thriving with purpose. While training might teach you how to assist, we teach you how to enjoy assisting—resulting in happier clients, fewer mistakes, and a sustainable career. It's like upgrading from black-and-white to full-color VA life!
Can Joy coaching improve my client relationships as a VA?
Absolutely! Strong client loyalty is a cornerstone of our approach. By incorporating Joyful practices—like daily gratitude check-ins or boundary-setting scripts—you'll foster trust and communication that keeps clients coming back. Our clients see a 30% drop in turnover and rave about deeper connections (check our testimonials!). Whether you're dealing with demanding CEOs or juggling multiple gigs, Joy coaching equips you with tools to turn transactions into meaningful partnerships.Is there a community for joyful virtual assistants?Yes!

How long does it take to see results from VA joy coaching?
Results vary, but many clients feel a spark after the first session—lighter mindset, clearer priorities. For lasting change, like reduced burnout or boosted income, commit to 3-6 months. Our structured plans include progress tracking, so you'll see measurable wins, like more energy or better client feedback.
