What our clients are saying
(Please review our Disclaimer before relying on any testimonial here.)
“Lyn is exceptional. Building my own consultancy, I was in need of someone who could help shoulder the load while representing my company positively. Lyn doesn’t only excel in those two areas but continually shows initiative and helps lead in areas of my business I just don’t have the time or knack for. I’d highly recommend Lyn to any business owner who needs someone to help organise their life and take that next step in their business journey.”
– Karl Brockman – Brockman Consulting – Sunshine Coast, Qld, Australia
“I’ve been in business for 28 years. I had full time paid administrators in my life for 23 of those years. Went it alone for two years and my life started to fall apart. I had no admin support. Then I met Lyn. Despite the fact that we have never laid eyes on each other in a physical form, we enjoy the most wonderful working relationship. I am amazed to find that someone from another state who’s never met me can care about my business and care about me and get things done quickly and time effectively using the wonders of modern technology. Old school values using modern technology is how I would describe Lyn. She’s been awesome for my business and I’ve recommended her to a number of my colleagues. I am a big fan.”
– Evan Bulmer – Evan Bulmer Consulting – Grange, SA, Australia
“Thank you for all your help and support … You have made my transition [to consulting] so much easier that I still find it difficult to imagine what it would have been like without you.

“Whenever you entrust anyone with work, tasks or initiatives that impact your reputation, you cannot be too choosy. Lyn Prowse-Bishop is a benchmark resource when you’re feeling that choosy. Her knowledge and application is truly exceptional. It comes from vast experience and uncompromising character. She is known internationally across a broad spectrum of the business community, so this testimonial is not news. How gratifying it is to her clients and partners, of whom I am one, to rest easy thanks to her reliability, efficiency, candour and consistent integrity.”

“Provocative and providential are descriptive words that energize Lyn Prowse-Bishop’s engaging character. Her professionalism is elite. And she will run your business the same way. I am profoundly fond of Lyn for many special reasons and I cannot emphasize enough her most highest character trait: Integrity wrapped with complete and consistent authenticity and transparency. Profoundly likeable and sublimely intuitive. She’s always on point and involves you in her process of bringing out the best you. When life gives you an important book to write it’s beneficial to have Lyn on your book.”
– Michael Pokocky – Author, Ste-Adele, Quebec, Canada
“I met Lyn online in 2004 and had a close working relationship that continues to this day. Lyn Prowse-Bishop is a woman of quality work, high standards and a joy to work with. Proficient, courteous, personable and prompt! I love it! I like her work and will continue to do business with her. After all, ‘business is personal’ as a good friend of mine says…’if I like you, I’ll do business with you.’ I like Lyn. A wonder woman when it comes to taking care of business, I love her energy and timeliness and when I get stuck on something, she jumps right in and takes care of it for me. I give thanks for Lyn and all that she does to make my life a lot easier. If you are looking for a Virtual Assistant, look no farther!”

She makes bookings for me and I trust her absolutely with my credit card details. She has helped me find suitable service providers for web and blog development and I also sought her advice as to which charity in which to make a small investment.

“I have been working with [Lyn] and Executive Stress Office Support since January 2002. This relationship has benefited my work life primarily by speeding up my ability to compose and send correspondence, but Lyn’s work has also included helping us with reports, monitoring for new contacts, and doing digital design work. The effectiveness of the relationship is almost entirely due to the excellent work that Lyn always does. … Lyn has always been there and, amazingly, always delivers – even when I’ve been out of touch for weeks. Lyn’s assistance has been and will continue to be an important part of our project in connecting US, Russia, China, Korea and Europe with high-speed advanced networks (for science and education). I’ve reached the point where I really consider (and speak of) Lyn as a member of our team. That’s as much a testament to Lyn – her abilities and her professionalism – as to the idea of remote virtual assistants – but in fact, our experience confirms both idea and implementation.”
