  • Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. In a time where political divides are growing and trans people are being targeted more than ever, visibility isn't just symbolic — it's essential. At Virtual Gurus, we were founded to uplift underrepresented communities. That means showing up — especially when the conversation is hard. We believe in creating space where all people are seen, respected, and valued for who they are. Not just today, but every day. To our trans team members, clients, and community: We see you. We stand with you. #TransDayOfVisibility #InclusionMatters #VirtualGurus #LGBTQ #EquityInAction #WorkplaceInclusion

  • Every week, there's another AI upgrade. ChatGPT is now your editor, planner, coder, and assistant — all in one tab. And that's only one platform. But here’s what no one wants to say: AI is only as useful as the system you build around it. At Virtual Gurus, we combine: 👉 AI that responds to your clients 24/7 👉 Real people who keep your operations human 👉 A platform that matches you with the support you actually need Smart leaders don’t try to do it all. They design better support. Delegation isn’t disappearing — it’s evolving. And the businesses that win in this next chapter? They’ll know how to use AI and ask for help. 💥 Let us help you stay ahead of the curve. #AIforBusiness #FutureOfWork #ChatGPT #SmallBusinessSupport #VirtualAssistant #VAs #TechThatWorks #AIandHumans

Bobbie Racette's journey with Virtual Gurus is nothing short of remarkable. In the latest episode of The Moment, Bobbie shares with Fatima Zaidi and Jason Maghanoy how she turned rejection into resilience, why she once walked out of a pitch competition, and the leadership lessons she learned along the way. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gjDzKMtq #canadianentrepreneur #canadianfounder #businesspodcast

  • Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending an incredible event hosted by QueerTech. If you’re not familiar with QueerTech, they’re an amazing organization led by Naoufel Testaouni, dedicated to empowering 2SLGBTQ+ folks in tech. (Fun fact: VG’s very own Bobbie Racette is Chair of the Board!) Events like these are a reminder of why showing up matters—you never know who you’ll meet, what connections you’ll make or the conversations that will spark new ideas. A huge thank you to QueerTech for fostering such a welcoming and dynamic space for the community. #QueerTech #2SLGBTQinTech #Community #Networking #RepresentationMatters

    Gender equality isn’t just a conversation—it’s a commitment. This #IWD, as we celebrate, we also know that women are still doing more unpaid labour, still being asked to organize, mentor, and lead without pay, and still facing barriers that keep them from opportunities. The work isn’t done. And let's be real, it feels like in ways, we are taking steps backwards. 🚧 Globally, women perform up to 2.5 times more unpaid household work than men—without recognition or compensation. 🚧 Beyond the workplace, true equity means access to education, informed health decisions, opportunities in sports, sustainable agriculture, and creative freedom. At Virtual Gurus, action speaks louder than words: ✔️ 80% of our leadership team are women. ✔️ 80% of our team members come from underserved communities. Our CEO, Bobbie Racette, is continuing the work to shape the way forward and leading a team whose commitment to equity, inclusion, and innovation is driving. Now, more than ever, it’s time to stand firm. DEI is being challenged. Inclusion isn’t a trend. The fight for equity isn’t over. The best way to celebrate women? Invest in them. Pay them. Open doors for them. To all the women leading, building, creating, and pushing forward—whether with us, in your own businesses, or in your communities, and to our brilliant team—we see you, we support you, and we thank you. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #DiversityAndInclusion #VirtualGurus
