🧩 Why Attend?

Every day, admin professionals solve dozens of problems—calendar conflicts, shifting priorities, tech hiccups, and more. But what if the best training ground for all of this wasn’t a productivity book… but a video or board game? ♟️

In this session, we’ll explore why gaming isn’t just play—it’s preparation. You’ll discover how playing certain types of games can actually train your brain to become quicker, more strategic, and more adaptable.

Message from Lauren:

“Daily Action Plans are an essential part of my day. They help make the invisible work visible, and ensure a smooth transition of work from day to day. It is a way of showing that my work is not only essential but complex and multifaceted, which is why I always share it with my principal at the end of the day. It’s time to stop downplaying the value you bring and start organizing your day in a way that highlights your true impact.“

— Lauren, Founder of The Officials
