Premier
Business Center
PBC is a
Multicultural Global Virtual Business Park where business owners meet, market,
network, collaborate, socialize, build groups, and have discussions, based on
business needs. The Premier Business
Center (PBC) has been quite busy the last quarter of 2022 and sprinted into the
first quarter of 2023 with vigor, purpose, and intent. Since its inception in 2013, PBC has hosted
many events on varying business and social levels and has the following and
support of other business ventures to show its imprint and impression in Second
Life (SL). There are many things to see,
do, build, design, and capture in SL.
Residents from all over the globe contribute to SL using their skills,
gifts, talents, and other resources to keep the grid relevant and
impactful.
For this reason, PBC exists,
to add to that body of contribution; ensuring to impact those who are drawn to
its vision, mission, and agenda. It took
a visionary with confidence and grit to embark on a monumental task of creating
a one-stop sim that meets the needs of business minded professionals,
associates, and friends. As a Twenty-First
Century virtual think tank, it is also a place where people convene to
strategize, problem solve, innovate, and develop new ways of meeting the needs
of the SL community. For those who have
experienced the PBC energy, they reverberate the impact it has had in their
personal and business space and growth.
Agreeably, this makes PBC one of " The best place in SL for
networking, marketing, exploring, and/or dancing the night away!
It is an
SL jewel located in the chiseled, mountainous, properly aligned skyline,
skirted with splashing river water, on the mainland. Formally, its infrastructure comprises, The
Convention Center, The PBC Talk Show, The PBC Night time Show, Theater,
Memorials, Condominiums, Hotels, Office Space, Apartments, Writer's Den,
Artist's Loft, PBC Waterfall Karaoke Bar, Diner, The Botanical Garden, PBC
Performance Hall, PBC Blue Lagoon, The
JardenAlexis Frozen Lake@ PBC, The Cultural Arts Center, The PBC House of
Prayer, and The PBC Mid City Concert Stage.
The sim is open to the public for tours twenty-four hours a day and are
scheduled through JardenAlexis.
Some
aspects of the constructs are available for partnership or use with mutual
agreement. It is a place and space where
ventures utilize in partnership to meet goals for real life causes. It touches every facet of business,
education, and social, which serve as conduits to build a bridge between both
worlds whereby it aids real life experiences and causes by creating direct
linkage for meeting non-profit and foundation financial goals to solve real
world social issues. Thus, PBC serves as a resourceful pipeline that connects
people with real organizations, such as One Billion Dollar Rising, Disaster
Relief Funds and many more to ensure financial resources are a two-way
experience between SL residents and real organizations. PBC practices the clean
hands method and only serve as knowledge base operation, connecting people with
direct access. Primarily, when
JardenAlexis (Jarden) birth PBC, she intended in an SL and real-life way to promote
growth and empowerment for people in both worlds.

Jarden
Alexis
Who is the
brainchild behind this virtual think tank?
Meeting the brainchild behind this SL virtual think tank and
conglomeration is certainly not like meeting a stranger. Her kind, warm,
inviting, open-minded, business-minded, forward-thinking, captivating, and
impressive demeanor draws people to her.
Jarden is the Owner and Founder of Virtual Executive Assistants (VEA)
and PBC. The VEA is a Global Virtual
Executive Administrative Service that provides administrative, marketing,
promoting, creative, and consultation services, to a global network of busy
business owners or individuals.
She finds
enjoyment in planning and creating inspirational, motivational, and educational
events. She meticulously plans events to educate, empower, and foster growth in
the SL world. She brings awareness and fosters social and professional
relationships in so many different arenas and that is very impressive. I believe most who know her, know what and
how much she does. Her time, commitment, and investments are commendable. There
is one thing she does that continues to do that captures my attention, and that
is she leans in, reaches over, extends a hand, and gives handshakes to others
who are doing great things as she and who are aspiring to do the same as
she.
She has worked in spaces such as
Second Life Birthday (SLB) and Burn2.
She is a judge for Color of Couture (COC), Miss Virtual World (MVW),
DOT-BE FASHION - MAN OF THE YEAR (MOTY) and Parallel Universe Productions, and
The Viral Voice Season. She is a widely
sought after partner in SL and enjoys every moment with each partnership. She is kept busy in SL, not just operating her
own business and partnerships, but also working with others and assisting as
they work toward their goals. She is not
considered a sim sitter, meaning sits and enjoys her own sim, but Jarden works
among other like-minded professional ins SL.
In her free time, you can find her building on her PBC Sim, supporting
others, shopping or exploring the SL Grid.
Also, nestled somewhere, on the same sim, though you might not be able
to find her, as it is a private nook, she is building a private haven-- a place
where she can sometimes retire to relax, relate, and release in quite
space. Jarden knows and understands that
one person is not an island and invites others, their ideas, talents, gifts,
and all they have to offer to PBC as well as what they bring with their own
think tank.
Living up
to its motto, "to motivate, educate and inspire, in the past, and
particularly in the last two quarters including the latter part of 2022 and
onset of 2023, PBC has been in full swing, as usual, hosting annual PBC events
as well as engaging in partnerships.
Annually, PBC supports the SL and RL community by offering events to
educate and motivate its supporters and business partners. During the last
quarter of 2022 and the first quarter in 2023, Jarden was kept busy meeting, planning,
and hosting multiple events. The PBC's
2022 fourth quarter exited the year having yielded four successful events from
fall through bitterly cold days in the winter; inspiring Jarden to plan from
Fright to Freezing activities for all to enjoy.
With a loud ring into a new year, PBC was joined by over 100 guests at
intervals, to welcome 2023! The energy continued with numerous events,
including a memorial. With March being Women's Month Jarden hosted her annual
Women's Luncheon. As we look back to
each quarter, we can't help but to delineate the great work Jarden does in the
SL community:

Two
quarters in review are just some of the planning of PBC. From 2013 to 2023, Ms.
Jarden Alexis has touched many sims, corners, and business in the existence of
PBC. And, from what we understand, she plans to continue working hard to do her
part as she approaches the PBC 10-Year Anniversary in the fall. It is left to be seen what she will reveal for
PBC moving forward. If you were to sit and have a chat with her, she would tell
you, "I couldn't do this alone." She always acknowledges those who
work alongside her.
She is always
appreciative of the Second Life Newser; Bixyl Shufan and Gemma Cleanslate for
their continued support. Other support includes
FRIENDS OF PBC (PBC Sponsors): Lovie
Benoir Dancerina Starlight, and Karinoelle Baptiste. Others who have supported PBC's efforts,
