During the AI sessions, you'll hear me talk about the importance of an evergreen social media scheduler. I recommend Smarterqueue. (Affiliate link)

"Jo's Chat GPT session today... I wasn't really sure what it was all about but I get it now!! I see what the fuss is all about 😆. I like the way it makes things sound so much better than I could say myself. I have such a block with social media, making it sound interesting and different etc and thinking of new ideas so this will make a big difference. Also now I know how to use it properly! If you don't think it's that relevant to you or you feel a bit daunted by it, I'd highly recommend you sign up." Jo C

"Just wanted to say thank you to Jo for a fantastic coaching session last week. I got some really great advice and help with the area I needed, and I'm ready to start implementing the changes. If you've not booked one, I recommend it; I'll definitely be booking another in the future." Ellie B

"I attended the Marketing Made Easy session and found it so helpful. A really friendly, informal, yet productive hour and a half with fellow business owners. I've already started a checklist of what to do and feel like I have focus and purpose to my plan now instead of going in blindly with my marketing. Thanks so much. Would highly recommend attending the next one if you are struggling with your marketing." Gillian L

"I signed up for the ChatGPT content planning webinar with Jo and it was well worth the money. I have not really looked at AI before and what Jo showed us in the session was so informative, would highly recommend anyone sign up for future sessions she does." Suzanne B

"Wow! I've just had a BRILLIANT group coaching session with Jo. I can't believe that myself and a few other VAs had her undivided attention for an hour. She answered questions, gave advice, and shared knowledge. Priceless!" Zoë L

"Jo, you were right, my mind is blown! What a great session the ChatGPT session was and such great value, I highly recommend it to anyone who is slightly on the fence about AI and social media as I was it's a real eye opener" Claire B

"Thanks for a great ChatGPT session. Very informative and making it fun made it easier to learn! Had a great time today creating content for our social media pages at work and even did one as a pirate ☠️ (obviously didn't post that one 😉). If anyone is thinking about these workshops, do it! The whole course has given me confidence in using AI which we as VAs need to embrace." Lesley J

"I enjoyed the ChatGPT With Me session so much - and upgraded to the latest version straight away - I didn't realise just what it was capable of. It was also lovely getting to know other members of this group and hearing how AI helps them and their clients. The only problem I can see is I now have another procrastination tool to lose hours with! 🙂" Kerry C

"ChatGPT Session OMG. How much fun was that?? I learned sooooo much and then wasted far too much time this afternoon cartoonifying myself. I have ended up buying the pro version because I now know just how much it can do. My clients are going to love what I can produce for them." Fiona D

"The ChatGPT session was a great insight! I had no clue before about how you can break down the content to suit your specific needs. Would highly recommend it - just slightly obsessed with counting fingers on the animations now though! 🤣" Dawn M

"This week I had an amazing coaching session with the lovely Joanne Munro! We brainstormed ideas for moving my VA business forward and I can't thank her enough for the inspiration and insightful advice. She even encouraged me to take some much-needed time off. Feeling motivated and grateful for her guidance!" Jill H

"Had a great group coaching call with Joanne this morning. I learned a lot, got some insight on where to stop wasting my efforts and which direction to head, and even made a new LinkedIn connection. Fortunately, I'm able to download a recording of the call because I‘m on the US East Coast, and my brain was mush that early. 😅" Marie D

"I had a fabulous business group coaching session with Jo! It was fantastic and has given me the much needed kick up the butt to push even harder and ditch the terrifying imposter syndrome whilst working on my own business! I can’t recommend these intimate, small and very personal sessions enough, to get things going in the right direction!" Lisa N

"I joined the group coaching session last week which was amazing there were only 2 of us so we really got some good personalised feedback on our issues and I have some good idea to explore about how to maximize my revenue from my existing clients. Thanks again." Rachel R

"I am LOVING ChatGPT since coming along to one of your courses. I no longer feel threatened by AI in by business, just excited by it!" Kerry C

"The monthly business review is absolutely incredible - in one month I've met my goals and it really shows. I went through and answered all these questions last week as I've decided to dedicate Fridays to my business. Not gonna lie, I'm rocking it!" Denise R

"Huge thanks for such an insightful ChatGPT With Me session yesterday. I joined the session because I was curious. I have never used AI tools before because I didn’t think I had a use for them - how wrong I was! It can be used for anything and everything! It was a great session and highly recommended. 😊" Sandra W

"If you haven’t booked a coaching call with Joanne yet, do yourself a favor and schedule one now! Her insights were nothing short of transformative. Jo took the time to review my LinkedIn profile in detail and provided invaluable feedback. Our discussion illuminated areas where I wasn’t fully leveraging my potential, and I’m excited to implement the changes we discussed this week. Her guidance on expanding my services has been a game-changer." Swasi B

"I'm just starting out and attended the group coaching session. For anyone undecided about investing in your business and your future self, it's money sooo well spent. 🌟 I've connected with some great women and the events are full of actionable advice. Loving them. 🥳" Rubyna S

"Great session on ChatGPT today! Really helpful tips and some different perspectives on how to use it as a deep-diving tool. My favourite bit and actually what I'm working on now, was the ability to write alternative-styled niche content (as well as bread and butter blogs and content). Working on a poem as we speak! 😀" Elly C

"I recently participated in one of Jo's ChatGPT sessions - so worth it! So much to learn and get your head around. It was an eye opener into all the possibilities and how to customise AI to learn how to respond in your own style/tone, or that of your clients. Highly recommend booking one of these sessions to explore the myriad of possibilities, as it's definitely something we VAs need to embrace to help future-proof our businesses." Alison M

"I've been reflecting a lot on my business lately and felt a bit stuck, so decided to book a group coaching session. Jo provided incredibly insightful advice, gave me great business ideas using my skillset, and suggested some excellent resources to look into. I highly recommend her for any business questions you may have." Iwona S

"Attended a ChatGPT With Me’ session yesterday. As a bit of a newbie to the VA world I’ve played around a bit with ChatGPT but I hadn't quite grasped how much you could do on it! Thanks for the super informative training session full of practical, tangible content, delivered in a witty and no-nonsense approach - which I love!" Nicola T

"I had a great coaching session with Jo last week. I was so lucky as I was the only one booked on that session, so it was more like a 1:1 with Jo. It was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend a coaching session with Jo, especially if you have come to a bit of a standstill or just starting. I will definitely be booking another one in due course." Zoe T

"I attended one of Jo’s group coaching sessions and I found it very useful. There are only a small number of people in the group, so you get full attention. It’s great to be able to hear other peoples’ desires and issues, along with the good advice that follows. In fact, this meant that some of my worries had already been addressed before it was my turn. Jo provided me with lots of insights and avenues to pursue. If you have been ‘umm-ing and ahh-ing’ about whether they are worthwhile, I assure you they absolutely are.
Thank you, I have come away with renewed enthusiasm. 😄" Jane S

"I have just been on the ChatGP workshop. I had some knowledge and have been using the free ChatGP for a few months now. I was so resistant in the beginning but I can honestly say it has changed my life. The session was brilliant. Jo is just the best teacher and opened my eyes to things I didn't know. I can highly recommend this event and think it is invaluable to us VAs. Thank you!" Debbie C

"I had a great coaching call today. I have done some big thinking on my business recently and felt a bit stuck so needed some advice/clarity/accountability/direction. Jo helped me think about things from a new perspective and helped me reflect on what I really want going forward. She pointed me towards useful resources, too. I still have more thinking to do, but I found it really useful to have the time away from client work to reflect on my business. Highly recommend a coaching session with Jo. 🙂 Martha K

Had a great coaching session with Joanne Munro the other day, it really helped me fine tune where I was focusing my energy in my marketing strategy. I keep getting side tracked by all the different ways I could be reaching people, which is overwhelming! Would recommend booking one of her sessions if you've been struggling to move forward with something 🥰🥰." Hannah C.

"Have to say a huge thanks to Joanne Munro for our ChatGPT with Me session today. I've used it before for little things like name suggestions, but I never realised ALL the things that it can help with, it's just 🤯. Highly recommend this session for anyone who's not sure about AI. It is such a versatile tool, I'm very excited to put it to work!" Emma S

"I signed up for one of Jo's coaching sessions, and it was awesome! A small group of 4 of us - everyone so different and all needing various new ideas and help with things. It was so helpful to hear Jo's objective take on our sticking points, and there were so many practical things I left with to ponder on and implement. If you've been wondering whether you should give it a go...wonder no longer and get signed up!" Ellie W

"Yesterday, I joined Jo's group coaching session, and it was absolutely terrific. Did exactly what it says on the tin. Jo gave me the clarity I needed and answered my questions allowing me to go forward with my business. I recommend anyone who has any questions or needs a bit of clarity around their business to book. 🩵👍" Karen H

"Thank you for today's ChatGPT With Me session! Solid overview, handy tips and tricks and useful prompts and language to use. Informative session!" Silja E

"Woo hoo 🙌🏻 I feel I’m on a roll now! I have just attended the ChatGPT session with Jo and it was amazing. 🤩 Don’t hesitate to sign up for one if you’re sitting on the fence…. it’s so insightful and fun. I cannot wait to try out what I’ve learned 💖." Kim W

"If you’ve thought about joining one of Jo’s group coaching sessions but never got around to it - do it!
I attended one last week because I needed some tips on the new direction I want my VA business to go in. Jo’s session gave me so many ideas that I otherwise wouldn’t have considered. Highly recommend!" Sally H

I had a coaching session last week, and it was fantastic. The session was recorded so I can look back. Prior to the session, I was feeling a bit deflated, but I now have my head back in the game. If you were thinking about this, just book it; you won't be disappointed." Aimee F
