✨ The Uplevel for Virtual Assistants

You’re already capable. The world just hasn’t seen it yet.

The Uplevel is a 4-week, 1:1 program for working VAs who feel like they have more to give. We close the gap on communication, prioritization, and problem solving. We add AI literacy as a daily multiplier. By week four, you’re already operating at the level you’ve been waiting to grow into.

“I struggled with the confidence and knowing that I could do it. The imposter syndrome. And then afterwards I was like: oh wait, I can really do this.”
Meghan M., VA trained by The Uplevel method
The Real Issue

If any of these sound like you, keep reading.

“I know I can do more than what they’re asking me to do, but I don’t know how to show it.”

The Capability Gap

You have more in you than your current role is using. Nobody’s ever shown you how to step into the next level without overstepping or undervaluing yourself.

“I’m guessing at what good looks like. I just hope I’m getting it right.”

The Quiet Imposter

Nobody trained you on what excellent VA work actually looks like. So you copy what you see, fill in the gaps, and quietly wonder if you’re measuring up.

“Everyone is talking about AI. I don’t want to get left behind, but I have no idea where to start.”

The AI Question

The VA market is splitting. Some are becoming AI-fluent partners. Others are getting replaced. The ones who win are the ones who learn the methodology, not the prompts.

You don’t need a new niche. You don’t need to start over. You need someone to show you what next-level looks like. Then walk you through how to get there, in your actual work, with your actual client.

Ready to step up?

Stop guessing. Start operating.

4 weeks. 1:1 coaching with someone who’s been in the seat. The skills, the systems, and the AI literacy that separate a $20/hr VA from a $50/hr partner.

Who This Is For

Built for one type of VA. Is that you?

This IS for you

  • You have at least one client and you’re showing up consistently
  • You feel like you’re capable of more than your role is asking for
  • You want to be a strategic partner, not just a task-doer
  • You’re ready to learn AI as a real skill, not a buzzword
  • You’re willing to do the work in real time, in your real client work
  • You want to charge what your work is actually worth

This is NOT for you

  • You’re brand new to VA work and don’t have a client yet
  • You want a passive course you can listen to in the background
  • You’re looking for software training or task workflows
  • You’re not ready to be honest about where you’re struggling
  • You want to outsource the growth and skip the doing

Your Facilitator

I’ve been exactly where you are.

I started in the administrative seat over 10 years ago. I know what it feels like to do everything “right” and still feel like you’re winging it. To want to be a strategic partner but not have anyone show you how. To watch your client get pulled away by things you could probably handle if you’d just been trained for them.

That’s why The Uplevel exists. It’s the program I wish someone had built for me when I was where you are. The program I now put my own VAs through, because the difference between a good VA and an exceptional one is almost never about tools. It’s about the foundational skills no one ever stopped to build.

I’m not coaching from theory. I’m coaching from a decade of real client patterns and the specific moves I’ve watched separate strong VAs from forgettable ones, over and over, across different industries.

The AI integration in The Uplevel is taught using the Company Brain methodology from Callan Faulkner’s A2A program (The Uncommon Business), which I’m currently certified in. Demonstrated in Claude. Applicable in ChatGPT.
The 4-Week Curriculum

Every week builds on the last. Every session is yours.

This is not a course. It’s a personalized, skill-by-skill build, matched to how your brain actually works and the real client you’re working with right now. AI literacy runs through every week, culminating in a working tool you leave with.
01Wk 1
Foundation

See Yourself Clearly

Before we build anything, we get honest about where you actually are. Not where you assume. Not where you hope. We map your three-pillar skills, identify the 2 to 3 gaps having the biggest real-world impact, and figure out how your brain processes work so the systems we build actually fit you.

  • Pre-program intake (your perspective and your client’s)
  • Three-pillar skills audit, no judgment
  • Thought processing style mapping
  • Honest Snapshot assignment
  • AI thread: AI as a mirror for articulating how you think
02Wk 2
Core Skill 1

Communicate Like a Partner

We rebuild how you communicate, not with scripts but with frameworks you can use in any situation. Status updates that land. Asking for what you need without it feeling like dropping the ball. Hard conversations handled like a pro. You leave with three rewritten messages already sent in real life.

  • The partnership mindset shift
  • Three communication scenarios, live practice
  • Managing up: guiding without overstepping
  • Real-world rewrite assignment
  • AI thread: AI as a drafting partner, without losing your voice
03Wk 3
Core Skill 2

Prioritize Without the Panic

We co-build your personal triage system. Morning setup, task intake, the stuck-decision rule, end-of-day wrap. Matched to how you actually think, not a generic template. By Friday you’re communicating capacity to your client proactively, before things go sideways.

  • Clarity vs. time management reframe
  • Four-quadrant framework, applied to your real tasks
  • Custom triage system, co-created live
  • Communicating capacity before it’s too late
  • AI thread: AI as a triage assistant for sorting, deciding, unsticking
04Wk 4
Capstone + Company Brain Build

Think Like a Problem Solver, Build Your Company Brain

The capstone. You stop bringing your client every obstacle and start handling them. You learn the 4-question decision framework and the 5-part follow-through standard. Then you build your Company Brain. The AI tool you’ll use every day. You walk away with a real, working artifact, not a list of prompts.

  • The problem-to-solution shift
  • 4-question decision framework, live practice
  • The 5-part follow-through standard
  • Honest Snapshot revisited: Week 1 vs. now
  • Capstone: Company Brain built live in Claude or ChatGPT
What You Walk Away With

Real tools. Not a folder of notes you’ll never open.

Every deliverable is built during the program. Personalized, practical, and designed to outlast the 4 weeks.

My Honest Results Commitment

If you show up honestly, do the between-session work, and engage fully, you will leave this program different than you came in. That’s not a promise made to be polite. It’s what I’ve seen consistently. If you feel I didn’t deliver, reach out directly. I stand behind this work.

Only 4 spots open each month. Every spot is 1:1 with Lorin, never a group. When September fills, the next opening is October.

FAQ

A few things VAs ask before joining.

Will my client or boss find out I’m doing this?
Only if you tell them. Many VAs do The Uplevel privately and let the work speak for itself in the weeks that follow. Others tell their client up front and have them sponsor the investment. Both paths work.
I can’t afford $1,497 right now. What are my options?
Three honest paths. One: ask your client to sponsor it as professional development. Many do once they understand the ROI. Two: wait until payment plans return after the opening months. Three: position yourself for a rate increase first, then reinvest a portion of that into The Uplevel. I can help with all three on an inquiry call.
What does the AI literacy training actually cover?
By the end of week four, you have a working Company Brain in Claude or ChatGPT. It captures your client’s business context, your role, your common workflows, and the prompts you use day to day. You walk out with a real, functioning AI tool, not a list of prompts to copy.
How is The Uplevel different from other VA training programs?
Most VA training is task-based: software, workflows, SOPs. The Uplevel is skill-based: communication, prioritization, problem solving. The systems we build together are personalized to how your brain works. And the AI integration teaches you a methodology backed by a $9K framework, not a list of party tricks.
How much time does The Uplevel take per week?
One 60 to 90 minute 1:1 session per week. Plus 30 to 60 minutes of implementation in your actual client work. The implementation happens inside the work you’re already doing, not in extra hours of homework.
What if I’m brand new to VA work?
The Uplevel assumes you already have a client. If you’re exploring VA work or just landed your first role, start with VA Career Explorer instead. It’s the foundation. The Uplevel is the next step after.
Why does The Uplevel only open in September 2026?
I’m currently completing Callan Faulkner’s A2A program from May through August 2026 so the AI integration is taught at the depth this work deserves. September is when The Uplevel next starts. Each month after is limited to 4 1:1 spots. Enrolling now secures your spot at opening pricing.
Do I get a certificate or credential?
You leave with five working frameworks, a custom triage system, a built Company Brain, and a personal Notion portal. The artifacts are the credential. They show up in your work, your client communication, and how you operate. That’s the credential clients actually care about.
The Bottom Line

The version of you who shows up to Week 4 is not who showed up to Week 1.

Four weeks. Real work. A different standard, the personalized systems to hold it, and a working AI tool you leave with. You’re already capable. Now make it visible.
