Joining me on The Debra Shepherd Podcast this week is Adrienne Donnelly. Adrienne Donnelly is a business owner, event manager and community builder based in Newcastle, Australia.
With a career spanning business support, event management and community leadership, Adrienne has built a reputation for being the person behind the scenes who brings people, projects and ideas together.
In 2024, Adrienne’s business journey took an unexpected turn when she purchased Seed Virtual Assistants, a business and community she had been part of for many years. Today, Adrienne supports Australian virtual assistants, online business managers and service providers through education, mentoring and community, while continuing to work across event management and other business projects.
Adrienne’s journey from community member to business owner has taught her plenty about backing yourself, embracing unexpected opportunities and learning to lead in a way that feels authentic to who you are.
