Over the Shoulder Training

Online Training

Upskill yourself and understand the tech you use on a day to day basis like a pro!

How Can It Help?

Finally confident

You'll be able to understand and use all of the tech you use in your business day to day - without feeling stuck and confused!

Bespoke

Together we'll go through the tech and I adapt my teaching style to work best with your learning methods.

1-2-1

I work with you 1-2-1 to help you learn to use and understand whatever tech problem is standing in your way. You'll be able to work the software like a pro.

Why Do I Need It?

We are extremely fortunate to be living and working in a world with so many tools on offer.

It doesn’t matter what we do in business, or how we do it, someone, somewhere will have created a fabulous piece of software, or an app, or a system that make it massively more efficient.

The challenge to us as small business owners is in knowing what the best choices for our own needs are, and then – how we use this new, magical piece of kit!

Do you often feel like you don’t have the skills to grow your business because tech just isn’t your forte?

It doesn’t have to be that way! You can feel confident in your use and understanding of tech, enabling you to do what you need to do to grow your business.

What you can learn:

Mailchimp
ActiveCampaign
Zoom
WordPress
Canva
Calendly
Trello
Asana

Payment providers
Google products
Microsoft products
Facebook Business Manager
Hootsuite
Buffer
Xero
Zipbooks

This is by no means an exhaustive list.

New software and systems are being introduced all the time and I make it my mission to keep on top of them so if you need training in something that is not on this list then please get in touch. It simply may not have been added to this page yet or, in rare circumstances, if the training you need is specialised in an area that in outside my extensive skill-set then I will be able to find another trainer to step in.

So if you need up-skilling then book yourself in for a call. We can discuss exactly what it is you need and I can tailor-make your training programme.

Seriously, I can have you whizzing through that website update or crafting your own mailshot in no time.

Little about myself »

Hi! I’m Ana

Hi. I’m Ana and I’m the bird behind Virtual Bird.

Clients have described me as "a business fairy", their "wingwoman", a "techie wizz" and a "business doula".

I genuinely care about helping you make your business a success and helping you have a less chaotic life.

My job is simple, I make your life easier. Whether that be through tech support, coaching, your online presence or implementing strategies and systems.

There's no airs and graces here, you'll get down to earth support and hopefully we'll have a laugh along the way!

What People Say

Irreplaceable member of my team

Ana is simply amazing. She built and now maintains our website and has become a critical and irreplaceable member of my team.

I instantly knew I needed an Ana in my life!

Organisational ninja, techie whizz, administrative genius and all-round supportive legend!

It was clear from the discovery call I had with Ana, that she was going to play a huge part in helping me getting my business shit together. I offloaded all the aspects of my business that were making me feel like a failure; she listened carefully and offered a list of things she could do to help. It was all followed up on email, and I instantly knew I needed an Ana in my life!

We had weekly accountability and business mentoring calls initially to help keep me focused and monitor my goals, and she built me a fantastic ecommerce website, and continues to maintain this. I have had support in so many areas … responding to customer messages during very busy times, creating product listings, designing banners and social media content, managing spreadsheets, setting up templates. You name it, Ana can do it!

Oh, and most importantly Ana is super funny, kind, supportive has the perfect no-bullshit approach to everything! So happy that Ana is on my team!

This woman is going to change my life

Had a phone call with Ana last night about a workshop I’m planning to host and can honestly say this woman is going to change my life. Made me realise the value that our businesses give to people and how much we undervalue our own skills!! Thank you so much!

I am keeping her on my team going forward because she is such a great asset

I have had the pleasure of working with Ana to re-build and re-invent my website.

Her level of skill and ability to take the idea from my head and implement it is actually exceptional. She is succinct, implements quickly and efficiently and communicates like a true professional.

I find tech a headache, it is not my area of genius, Ana, however, is truly in her zone of genius when delivering your tech needs.

I would have no hesitation recommending her to anybody I know, in fact, I am keeping her on my team going forward because she is such a great asset.

Ana has been a dream to work with and I look forward to a long professional relationship that I know will impact in a positive way on my business and my clients.

I honestly cannot recommend her enough. Legend.

Ana took over my website recently since it had been left to go stale with my previous designers/hosts.

She revamped it, brought it up to modern standards and within a week of it going live, I’m getting calls directly from my website and winning the work. I’m a tradesman, and have always had a website, but never gained work directly from it! it was previously just an online ‘presence’ rather than a business tool… which it now is!

She focuses on EXACTLY what is needed to position the business website above the rest, with info what potential customers want to see.

As a tradesman, I would say this is a rare skill considering each website is different, with different target customers. This is not just a cut and shut website. It’s easy to use, gives the info it needs, and helps the customers make an informed choice and click up the phone.

Everything is done with minimal downtime and disruption. She made sure it was perfect before making it live.

I honestly cannot recommend her enough.

Legend.
