Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects":
In this episode, Gwendolyn Young is the featured guest. She is the founder of Your Virtual Admin Expert, a results-driven agency quite fittingly named, as it solves administrative problems for other businesses.
Throughout the episode, Gwendolyn shares her story and experiences. With over 15 years advising corporate executives and a distinguished reputation for significantly increasing profitability, she brings widespread expertise in business management, operations, and administration to the table.
Gwendolyn's journey was not without its challenges. In 2013, she was diagnosed with lupus, leading her to rekindle her administration role and take it online. This ultimately lead to the creation of Your Virtual Admin Expert, allowing her the freedom to replace her corporate income while also taking care of her health.
Your Virtual Admin Expert provides online business management, general administration, and operation support for professional service providers. Given her experience as both an admin professional and a CEO herself, Gwendolyn possesses unique insights into what a CEO needs.
Gwendolyn's "Secret Sauce" combines two decades of experience supporting high-level CEOs and her personal understanding of a CEO's needs.
Apart from discussing her successful business journey, she also shares several valuable recommendations. Her business hack is a community network and an accelerator for black women entrepreneurs, attributing her success to maintaining accountability. Gwendolyn also encourages investment in oneself and the business, recommending taking assistance and not isolating oneself.
Gwendolyn sees the role of a CEO as a servant-leader, who helps the team see the collective value they bring to the client with their diverse personalities, tasks, and gifts.
