What can I say? It was too exciting to be on tv, even if just for a short interview! Here’s the link to CTV Edmonton’s Twitter story from Monday, March 2nd, featuring yours truly. Interestingly (to me, probably not to anyone else!) the story was about using Twitter and discussed the angle of how I’ve networked on Twitter to the advantage of my virtual legal assistant business. Interesting because they actually found me only...

Addison of ProWAHM recently contacted me and asked if she could do a feature post about Halo Secretarial Services on her blog. The post is up today and I invite you to check it out! It’s nice to be noticed on a blog about being a work at home mom.

TIME You need to consider how much time you need your virtual assistant to spend helping you, and how exactly your...
Read MoreI just read this post by Jordan Furlong over at Law21. I know it doesn’t seem like it at first, but it is a post about hope and about change. And I was honoured that Jordan mentioned Halo Secretarial as being a legal secretarial service that is ready for the changes that are (hopefully) coming in the future to law firms. Being included with the likes of game changers like Solo Practice University, JD Supra, or Virtual Law Office is so...
