VP Article: 8 Tips On How To Avoid Taking Things Personally At Work

INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

Use Loom to record yourself while reading the article aloud. You may split the reading part into as many recordings as necessary. Afterward, reflect on your past experience while you were still a beginner at Virtual Professionals. Write down at least three experiences where you felt like giving up, and include the name of the person/s who supported you during those difficult times. Please share how that person’s guidance or actions supported you during those challenging moments. That person can be a family, friends, loved ones, or workmates. Use your own words and be as honest as possible. Write your output in your Virtual Professionals notebook with at least a minimum of 200 words.

Do not use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your output. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.

Important Note: As much as possible, do this activity when you are calm, not rushed, and when your mind is clear and relaxed. Avoid doing it during busy or stressful moments to fully benefit from the experience.

How To Send: 

Using your VP Gmail, add the SUBJECT line: Activity 6: Meet My Friends | VP Screen Name, and take a photo/s of your output and change the photo’s file name according to the sequence of the pages in your Virtual Professionals notebook. For example: Activity 6 (1), Activity 6 (2). Send it to info.virtualprofessionals@gmail.com and CC michelle.virtualprofessionals@gmail.com along with the Loom recording link/s. 

Before sending the Loom recording, make sure to update the title of your recording. The file name should match the subject line of your email. If you have multiple recordings, include a number to indicate the sequence.

Example:

• Activity 6: Meet My Friends | VP Screen Name (1)
• Activity 6: Meet My Friends | VP Screen Name (2)

Goal: Remembering those challenging times as a beginning virtual assistant and the people who helped us through them reminds us that we can always be a source of support for others.
