The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on... April 25=2C 2024=2C Issue #205 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor Last Thursday morning began with a nasty text message. It came from our ne= w cell phone service provider=E2=80=99s store manager=2C Jim=2C in respons= e to a message I sent him. (I won=E2=80=99t name names=2C but the new carr= ier's name rhymes with Horizon.) When my husband=2C Greg=2C and I relocated to Virginia=2C we discovered th= at AT&T didn=E2=80=99t have the coverage we needed to use our phones at ho= me=2C so we decided to make the switch. Our migration to the new carrier wasn=E2=80=99t a good experience. We had= many conversations with Jim over the course of the week it took to get ev= erything set up and working. I received an email that morning indicating that Greg=E2=80=99s account wa= sn=E2=80=99t set up correctly. I texted Jim a screenshot of the email and asked=2C =E2=80=9CCan you fix t= his=2C please?=E2=80=9D Based on his response=2C I=E2=80=99m pretty sure he didn=E2=80=99t read it= as I had intended=2C which was in a pleasant voice. His reply was sharp=2C but I sent another message=2C asking further about= the email I received=2C not responding to his rudeness. We exchanged texts for a few minutes=2C and I could tell Jim=E2=80=99s fee= lings were escalating. In his final text=2C he told me that he didn=E2=80= =99t appreciate how I spoke to him. But here=E2=80=99s the deal. I wasn=E2=80=99t actually speaking to him. He= was reading my words=2C choosing my voice's tone=2C and interpreting my w= ords. Think about how many ways you could hear: =E2=80=9CCan you fix this=2C ple= ase?=E2=80=9D About a million: Nice=2C snarky=2C demanding=2C condescendin= g=2C sarcastic=2C sincere=2C enthusiastic=2C friendly=E2=80=A6 Jim was the one who decided the tone=2C not me. And the rest of his day li= kely didn=E2=80=99t go well. I=E2=80=99m sure the conversation in his head= didn=E2=80=99t stop when our last message was sent. We were probably spea= king all day long. How do I know this? Because this used to be me until I decided to take cha= rge of the voice in my head. One day=2C I got tired of the scolding=2C sec= ond-guessing=2C put-downs=2C and negative conversations with people who we= ren=E2=80=99t even in the room. As a Virtual Assistant who=E2=80=99s worked with hundreds of clients and i= nteracted with thousands of people=2C I have learned that the best strateg= y for reading texts and emails is to read them in my nicest=2C most pleasa= nt voice. When people forget the please and thank yous=2C I add them in myself. Then= I tell myself they must be really busy or stressed=2C and they were just= so grateful to have me helping them that they forgot. It makes me feel good to do this=2C and I get to skip the alternative=2C w= hich is to ruminate on the conversation=2C feeling put down and unhappy=2C= which leads to time-wasting and an unproductive day. That morning=2C I decided that Jim was not going to run my day. I had plan= s that I was looking forward to and things I wanted to do that mattered to= me. I let go of the conversation and moved on. You can do this=2C too=E2=80=94one conversation at a time.

The VA School is a solid program that set me up for business=2C helping me= to put into place the systems that I needed to be successful.
