Heleen is passionate, enthusiastic, and proactive

I have known Heleen Olland for many years as the Virtual Assistant of CAOP (Center for Labor Relations for Government Personnel), both as chair of the Participation Committee and Deputy Chair of the Joint Participation Committee, within the Ministry of Defense.

Heleen is a highly driven person. In addition to her regular working hours, Heleen was always willing to provide consultation and advice when necessary and was able to bring forward any previously agreed-upon deadlines if we deemed it necessary.

To capture it all, she is passionate, enthusiastic, and proactive. Heleen is a wonderful person.

My softskills

  • Stress resistance: I stay calm and solution-oriented under time pressure
  • Digital curiosity: I’m able to learn new software or systems quickly
  • Flexibility and adaptability: I’m able to quickly switch between tasks and tools
  • Ability to anticipate: I’m used to proactively identifying problems before they arise
  • Discretion and reliability: I can deal perfectly with sensitive data and confidential conversations
  • Communicative sensitivity: I can adapt tone and style to the client or customers
  • Empathy: I sense the client needs, sometimes without having the client explicitly mentioning it

She understands our business strategy

Heleen Olland has been my Personal Assistant for 1.5 years, and her services to me were outstanding. She has a cheerful personality even under the most difficult circumstances.

Integrity and values and confidentiality are key competences that she holds in high regards. Office management, Calendar and email are tidy and up to date, important messages are screened immediately and brought to my attention.

The best quality however besides described here before is that she understands our business strategy and as such makes conscious choices on what is important and what not. One thing that is usually not described in job advertisement, but for me a great quality as well is the fact that she is my eyes and ears.

She picks up body language in meetings and conversations, and she knows what the generic feelings in the organization are. As such she brings them to my attention, for me to act on and be more effective. For me it would be a loss to see Heleen go, but I also understand quite well that she is ready for the next challenge and needs to move on.
