In this candid leadership meeting, Virtual Rockstar team navigates real-time crises, dealing with the aftermath of a major earthquake and super typhoon that caused power outages for team members, while simultaneously celebrating monumental company growth.

Listen in as they discuss the immediate need to pivot roles for a major upcoming virtual event, the inspiring perseverance of team members like Andre, and the incredible success of their recent event marketing, which has led to a record-breaking number of discovery calls.

The second half of the episode offers a powerful deep dive into the company's 90-Day Leadership Challenge, emphasizing the foundational role of trust in building a high-performing, committed team.

Key Discussion Points & Wins:

  • Pivoting Through Disaster: The immediate operational challenges caused by a recent magnitude 7 earthquake and power outages, and how the team quickly delegates key roles for the upcoming Virtual Rockstar Quarterly Town Hall.
  • Record-Breaking Growth: The team celebrates being on track to hit their "Super Bonus" goal, with a massive influx of discovery calls, 18 in just four days! following successful industry events.
  • The Power of Events: Will shares humbling stories from recent industry events (Mindshare and Therapy) where clients praised their VAs, validating their specialization in the PT/SLP space.
  • New Recruiting Strategy: Introducing a new "School Group" intended to become a massive thought-leader community, acting as an internal candidate pool to cherry-pick the best VAs for future hires.
  • Deep Dive: The Leadership Challenge: A discussion on the core themes of their leadership training:
    • Trust as the Foundation: Why Trust is the most important element of leadership, enabling healthy conflict and commitment.
    • Leading from Love and Authenticity: The realization that powerful leadership comes from being authentic and operating from a place of genuine care (like Hope's and Denise's shares).
  • "Good" When Things Go Wrong: A reminder of the military concept that bad things are "Good" because they present an opportunity to learn and grow.
  • Policy Change for Wales: The decision to change the hiring policy for their largest clients ("Wales") to accommodate temporary full-time contracts (2-6 months) to ensure they never lose a valuable relationship, confident they can repurpose skilled VAs quickly.
  • The Greater Purpose: Will explains that the true "why" of the leadership training is not just business success, but to empower each team member to be a more effective mother, sister, and leader in their own families.

This is a masterclass in demonstrating vulnerability, accountability, and the strength of a team built on trust, even when facing external crises.
