Family Traditions | A GoTeam Exceed Institute Session

 

What traditions do you cherish in your family? What activities or celebrations do you want to add to your family's traditions?

In one of our Exceed Institute sessions, GoTeam Founder Matt Kesby led this discussion as part of efforts to help team members build rich and connected family lives.  Exceed Institute is a series of fortnightly sessions where we talk about growth as a whole person (body, mind, heart, and spirit). And it's just one of many opportunities for discovery and growth that are available to the whole team.

GoTeam is an enhanced operations business that connects business leaders with highly skilled global team members in the Philippines. 

More than 600 of our GoTeam members support growth-stage businesses in accounting, architecture, construction, customer success, engineering, graphic design, marketing, project management, recruitment, sales, and software development.  

We are a Great Place to Work certified business.

Creating a Rich and Connected Family Life: An Exceed Institute Session

One of the benefits of working from home is the additional time we get to spend with our families. 

We've taken this to the next level in the Go Virtual Assistants (GO-VA) and Global Office tribe, where our Founder and CTO Matt Kesby led an exercise on creating family vision word clouds. GO-VA and Global Office now go by the name GoTeam.

It's all part of our Remarkable Life framework for our team members, which includes a rich and connected family life as one of its pillars. Any success in one's work life would be hollow, if it meant neglecting our most important relationships. 

Watch this video for a quick and simple exercise you can try with your families! 

GoTeam is an enhanced operations business that connects highly skilled, engaged, and coachable team members in the Philippines with businesses that are on the verge of scaling in Australia, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, among a growing list of other countries.

About GoTeam Philippines

GoTeam connects highly skilled team members with business leaders who are serious about growing their ventures.  

We combine frameworks that drive engagement and morale in people, with the technology they need to deliver exceptional results.  

We draw from a deep and diverse talent pool in the Philippines. From accountants and architects, to customer success specialists and construction estimators, to sales professionals and software developers. That's one of the reasons we’ve rebranded from Go Virtual Assistants (GO-VA) to GoTeam.  

 In 2021, we became a Great Place to Work certified business.  

Go for Go Team! - Founder Matt Kesby Explains the Big Change

 

Australian entrepreneur Matt Kesby, who founded Go Virtual Assistants (GO-VA) in 2014, talks about why GO-VA is rebranding to GO TEAM in 2022.

Our new name, GoTeam, really brings forward the definition of who we are.

GO Teams are the ones people choose first to solve problems and deliver results.

At the start, the business worked mainly with virtual assistants.

We have grown and gained depth range since then. We are accountants, software developers, admin gurus, operations ninjas, 3D drafters, engineers, leaders, parents, visionaries, executors, results winners.

We GO after exceptional results and lean on our values to deliver them.!

The core of what we do hasn’t changed.

We find the top talent in the field so that all business owners can have the opportunity to outsource tasks effectively—without the high costs of setting up a business abroad. Or the loss of control that full outsourcing triggers.

In 2021, we became a Great Place to Work certified organization on our first attempt!

Our team members and the clients whose businesses we help scale benefit from Fiona’s deep experience (more than 20 years) in recruitment and her obsession with getting the culture right.

Combine that with Matt’s experience as an execution practice leader for FranklinCovey, a global leader in effectiveness training and consulting in strategy and execution —plus his obsession with technology.

And what you’ve got is an engaged, highly skilled, and always-learning team that delivers exceptional results; that will GO above and beyond to get exceptional things done.

We believe in the power of People + Technology.

We believe in being champions for creating remarkable progress.

We are your GO Team!

The Concept Of Flow State - Matt Kesby

Finding Fulfillment Amid the Great Resignation: Our Discover You Events for October 2021

If you want to feel fulfilled at work, it helps if you choose a work tribe that goes out of their way to welcome you and never stops finding a way to understand one another better. A recognition program that stays consistent with the company’s purpose and culture—and matches your personal values—also makes a big difference.

The Global View:

• Virtual teams need to make the time to connect, which is what we did during our Discover You events for October 2021. We celebrated two milestones: (1) having more than 500 team members; and (2) becoming a Great Place to Work certified business!
• Madeline, an Accounts Receivable and Billing Specialist, won the CEO Award for October 2021. Her client Spring described how Madeline has shown every one of our 7 core values at work. And you should see what a fantastic example of feedback-giving this client gave us!
• We examined the idea of fulfillment in the self-discovery portion of this month’s events. What is one area of your life where you don’t feel as fulfilled as you’d like to be?
