I’m Becky, and I’m thrilled to share a little more about who I am, what drives me, and how I can help you transform your business operations from chaotic to calm. This space is dedicated to helping creative entrepreneurs and service providers like you find the peace of mind that comes with a streamlined, supportive backend.
My path to becoming an Online Business Manager (OBM) and Virtual Assistant (VA) has been anything but conventional, yet every step has equipped me with a unique blend of strategic insight and hands-on operational expertise. Before A Burden Shared, I spent over a decade in dynamic, high-stakes environments, learning the intricacies of business growth, team leadership, and operational excellence.
My career began with exciting ventures, including helping to launch surgical brands and contributing to the success of a gym and spa. These early experiences honed my ability to understand diverse business needs and adapt quickly. However, it was my most recent role, an impactful 11-year tenure at a powerhouse international network, that truly shaped my approach to supporting businesses today.
At this powerhouse international network, I was at the forefront of connecting vision with execution. Our community thrived on integrity, impact, and quality, fostering genuine relationships among trusted advisors to drive referrals and mutual growth. I played a pivotal role in scaling the organisation, growing membership from 500 to over 1,400+ while maintaining an 87% retention rate. I also spearheaded the expansion of our internal team from 5 to 20 members and developed our HR strategy, fostering a values-driven culture.
My responsibilities extended to critical brand and operational initiatives. I was instrumental in our global rebrand and implemented online strategies that significantly amplified our identity. I also helped reinvigorate our approach through an innovative Partnerships model, which diversified our revenue streams by building strong relationships and strategic collaborations with key sectors like translation, publications, and financial services. This experience taught me the power of synergistic relationships and creative problem-solving.
Logistically, I organised over 100 international conferences and led a comprehensive two-year digital transformation, overseeing the development of our website, crucial dashboards, and a robust CRM system. These initiatives dramatically enhanced our operational efficiency and improved the member experience.
As a company ambassador, I represented this powerhouse international network at numerous global events and collaborated on strategic annual reports. Even amidst significant growth, I successfully managed office expansion with minimal disruption to our daily operations.
This extensive background in strategic growth, operational management, team building, and digital transformation is the foundation upon which A Burden Shared is built. It’s why I understand the challenges you face and possess the expertise to help you navigate them.
My corporate background has instilled in me a deep understanding of what it takes to build and scale a successful business. But beyond the strategies and systems, I believe that true partnership is built on trust, clarity, and a shared vision. This is precisely what I bring to every client relationship at A Burden Shared.
