She's the Founder of Outsourcing Angel, and Co-Founder of Dawn Media Productions–and also mother to three kids!Her life wasn't always so easy. She was born and raised in Vietnam with very little, so her family migrated to Australia in search of a better life. Upon arriving in Australia, her parents forced her into child labor helping them in their sewing home-based business from the age of 10 and through to her teenage years. She ran away from home multiple times and eventually became pregnant at the age of 19. She was disowned by her family with no financial or emotional support which forced her to a life on the streets as a single mum.Despite the challenge as a young single mum, she managed to complete university and got herself a corporate job. After few years of working in my corporate job, Linh realized that it didn't give her the flexibility and lifestyle that she want for her and her son.

Building and managing a remote team is very different than doing it in the office. How can you successfully lead your people virtually? How do you create trust and allow for a proper and ongoing communication stream? Richard Phu, the Head of Operations at Outsourcing Angel, is going to walk us through that and much more today. Richard is an expert on successfully creating and leading remote teams, and he's got a lot to divulge about this topic. He'll share with us exactly how much and how often you should be communicating if you have a remote team, and how to best establish rapport with each and every member while supporting them along their individual career journey. Most of all, we'll be discussing the importance of having moments of reflection. Richard makes sure his team sets time and space to keep looking for new things instead of falling into the ‘busyness' trap of running from fire to fire. There's definitely no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to leading your folks virtually, but the strategies Richard will share today are tried and tested, and can definitely be applied to better the performance of any virtual team. As Richard says so himself, it is harder to manage remote teams, but harder means different.

2022 is a CRAZY year for social media! To talk about this, I’ve invited a very special person - a great friend of mine, and probably the best copywriter I know… the awesome Charley Valher

The power of an outsourced team makes possible the ability to work together and create a culture of understanding, even if you and your team are not within the walls of the same office. We address: Why doubt or nervousness about making the next hire is only a matter of mindset How to become more confident about outsourcing business processes overseas How to decide which tasks are best suited for your virtual assistant What makes a great manager and how to lead your VA and help them improve How to stay productive while working from home The future of work Today, Karen speaks with Linh Podetti, Director at Outsourcing Angel, an Australian based offshore recruitment agency that specialises in providing premium Virtual Assistants from the Philippines to companies around the world like Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, UK, Europe and Dubai. 3 MAJOR POINTS DISCUSSED No matter where you outsource, you need to know what you're doing, i.e. have experience and/or knowledge in the area you're outsourcing to. “Otherwise,” says Linh, “it's very easy to get ripped off.” After discovering the “magic” of outsourcing, it's very tempting for business owners to go for cheap providers who promise the moon. Like anything, you have to do your research when going through your options. Newer business owners should begin by outsourcing tasks that are chargeable to the client. For example, if you're building a website for your client, find specialists that you can relegate different elements to, such as content writers, front-end and back-end developers, the SysAdmin, etc. Once you have a system in place and have increased profitability, start delegating administrative and other repetitive tasks. Don't blame the person. Blame the process. As an employer, particularly to a virtual assistant, understand that there will most likely be mistakes and/or miscommunications made throughout your partnership, especially at the beginning. To maintain a great relationship with your VA as well as to encourage them to improve and stay loyal, never assume right away that it's an issue of character, but of process. Work together to find solutions and establish better systems going forward.
