Hi, my name is Lorri Morin

I believe that each of us have certain gifts that we are meant to share with the world.  Mine is the gift of service.

For more than twenty-five years, I have utilized this gift in various positions of increasing responsibility in the military, corporate, and virtual support worlds. I have worked in positions that require me to work both independently, and as part of a team to provide administrative support to a variety of customers.  My experiences have enabled me to adapt well to change and thrive in a dynamic environment.  I believe in continuous improvement, always learning new tools or processes and am a quick study.

It was this gift for providing excellent support to busy executives, paired with my need to grow personally & professionally, along with a desire for more control over my destiny & greater work/life balance that inspired me to become a Virtual Assistant.

In 2005, I graduated from AssistU's virtual training program to strengthen the foundation for my business, and Virtual Synergy began operations. Since then, I've spent many hours learning new skills and strengthening existing skills to serve my clients better - I love to learn.

My love for learning is part of what prompted me to apply for AssistU's certification program. This certification is unique in the industry because:

  • It is offered by, and only available to graduates of, AssistU. As with their virtual training program, the bar is set high to ensure that only the most qualified display the AssistU CPVA logo.
  • CPVAs are required to re-certify every two years to maintain the designation.
  • The exam is a hands-on, experiential exercise which demonstrates how one actually works with clients. It evaluates what core competencies and soft skills are demonstrated and how effective a VA is in a working relationship with a client rather than what someone knows and can recall on a written exam.

So, what does all this mean for you? It means that I have further invested in myself and my business by taking the necessary steps to achieve certification. As you can see from the list of core competencies and skills below, I have demonstrated mastery of areas that can be of great benefit to you and your business as we work together.

* Cyber skills/virtual work skills * Writing skills
* Partnering skills * Communication skills
* Trust-building skills * Pro-activity skills
* Organizational skills * Collaborative skills
* Consideration skills * Thinking ahead
* Equality skills * Resourcefulness
* Juggling skills * Questioning skills
* Attention to detail * Tenaciousness
* Relationship skills * Pacing skills
* Receptive/Expressive skills * Listening skills
* Work/Life balance skills * Time management skills
* People skills * Ethics

In addition, I am certified in 1ShoppingCart set-up and maintenance and a student of client attraction and internet marketing.

When I'm not helping my clients create balance, I enjoy being involved with the activities of my busy family, cooking & baking, learning new concepts to benefit my business and my clients, being a mentor for AssistU's Virtual Mentoring Program, and hanging out with my office pup, Caramel.

I get great satisfaction from working with people who value balance and harmony in their lives and helping them to achieve it. Are you ready for balance? If you are,visit Are You Ready for a VA? to find out if working with a Virtual Assistant is right for you.

 
 

"Lorri is everything I could ever ask for in an executive assistant. She has the mindset of a business owner, not an employee. She gets more done in 10 hours than many others would get done in twice that time. She is a joy to work with. All my clients think she is fantastic."
