Build your ultimate command center and scale your role with confidence.

Future-ready admins don’t chase the day—they run it. Discover how a well-built dashboard can transform your workflow, focus, and impact at the executive level.

Ever wish you had a single place to see it all: your priorities, your tools, your exec’s world, your world? You can. In this month’s Tech Hack, I’ll take you behind the scenes of the custom admin dashboard I built to handle the demands of supporting senior leadership—while keeping myself one step ahead.

You won’t need to build anything (yet). This session is your chance to get inspired, explore what’s possible, and see firsthand how personalized dashboards (in Notion, Google, and Microsoft tools) can help you work smarter—not just harder. It’s a sneak peek into high-performance admin workflows that support scale, strategy, and sanity.

• Live walkthrough of how I use dashboards to manage priorities, tools, and info
• Tool comparisons: Notion vs. Google vs. Microsoft – What they have and what they lack
• Open Q&A so you can ask about tools, setup, and how to start small
• Ideas for any skill level
• Zero pressure, all inspiration with a more hands-on workshop to come

💻 Snag your seat, friend! 🎉
