So who is Anne and what is the
Anne Factor?
Glad you asked...The Anne Factor is
my knowing that fine balance of good judgment and taste. The
Anne Factor is
my combination
of ease and action that only experience can bring. The
Anne Factor
is my rare blend of skill and sensitivity, knowing when to push
and when to pull, when to go forward and when to hold back. The
Anne Factor
is my ability to
manage your business needs for you to relieve you of the details that can bog
down even the most efficient business owner.
I am Canadian-born and a graduate of the University of Western
Ontario. My background is in the legal world (I know the
meaning of
confidentiality). Since
launching my business in 2000, when VAship was a very new concept, I have
worked with clients from many fields
and acquired a broad spectrum of knowledge.
Among the many joys of being a VA are client appreciation,
constantly learning new skills, facing challenges -- and being a participant in
my clients' successful business enterprises.

She has been known to run interference on delicate political situations,
negotiate deals, work on public relations and outreach materials,
organize events, figure out the deeper meaning of emails and a myriad of
other things. My work involves people and companies from all over the
world, and having Anne working with me has been a Godsend.
I feel
that our relationship is a true partnership. With her help, I have
significantly decreased client complaints about lack of follow-through
and responsiveness and increased the time that I can either bill out or
spend doing the higher-value added research and writing on which my
career depends.
