I'm Sarah Najjuma, the founder of Virtual Assistant Diary, a Virtual Assistant and Project Management Consultancy based in London, with a global team based in London and East Africa, supporting clients in the UK, US and Africa.Growing up in Tottenham, London - in a family of 8 children - I was always determined to defy the odds and achieve something great. My parents fled Uganda as asylum seekers, so I grew up with a strong sense of social responsibility. My business and other projects have allowed me to get involved with causes where I can add value to people, projects and organisations, while helping others see their value and go beyond their limits, just like my parents did for me just like my parents created true value for me.Virtual Assistant Diary launched after I saw the gap in the industry experienced virtual assistance. My background as an Executive Assistant, operations manager and project manager gave me the confidence to know that I could be an asset to companies. In addition to running my own business, I am also a facilitator for youth workshops. These workshops are focused on personal and professional development, and they aim to give young leaders the tools they need to thrive in their journeys. I enjoy inspiring others to reach their potential and achieve their goals, and I believe that these workshops are an important step in helping young people reach their full potential. In the workshops, we cover topics such as goal setting, time management, and effective communication. We also discuss the importance of networking and building professional relationships. I believe that these workshops are essential in helping young people develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
