Did you know you can record a voiceover inside PowerPoint?

Or that Teams will create a custom registration form for that webinar?

Not sure how to make your spreadsheet available to your client, so they can update the finances in real time from their own computer?

All of these things ARE possible ... 

  • without paying for more overcomplicated software solutions

AND

  • allowing you to claim back hours of your week spent scrolling 'solutions' on Google, just to end up at another dead-end.

And it can all be done with Microsoft 365!

The Thrive Academy is a membership that combines learning, community, and support. I've created classes based on the questions I'm asked by clients and my network all the time. I've also added in a heap more that I know people like you are genuinely struggling with. Best of all, I'm adding new classes every month!

LET'S DIVE DEEPER

Here's what's inside Thrive Academy ...

Thriving Library

THRIVING LIBRARY

A growing vault of online classes on all things Microsoft 365!

Over 150 classes already available, with more added every month.

Group Coaching

MONTHLY GROUP COACHING CALL

60 minute Microsoft Teams group coaching session each month, giving you direct access to a Microsoft 365 expert to answer your questions and solve your Microsoft dilemma!

I want to join the waitlist for Thrive Academy

That's OVER $7,700 in benefits ... available each year of membership!

PLUS the value of having a single place to go to for all of your Microsoft answers? PRICELESS. 

You get 12 months of unlimited access to every class in the academy, including the 2 new classes that are added every month. AND you can watch or listen to them (like a podcast!) in your own time, at your own pace.

 Thrive Academy has everything I wish I'd had access to when I was creating my own documents, systems, and processes - both as an admin superstar, and then running my own business, ALL IN ONE PLACE. If I had been able to get direct, on-the-support answers like this, it would have taken me a LOT less time to get my business systems and processes up and running, and reflective of me and my values and brand!

That's why I want you to know what I know, so you can do what I do!

Hi there - I'm Marianne

In case we haven't already connected, I am the owner and Magic Maker here at Thrive Admin Services. I'm a systems and processes Online Business Manager (OBM), with a special interest in Microsoft 365. I'm also certified in a few other systems and programs (because I'm all about whatever works best for you!). I worked in corporate administration roles for over 20 years, covering every stage of administration from reception to finance to C-Suite 1:1 EA work. 

These days? I'm a problem solver. Your very own 'make it happen' person when it comes to documents, spreadsheets, presentations and business systems. My experience has shown me that that it's possible to do some incredible things with the tools you already have access to. I know that with a little know-how, you can confidently manage your business and workflow using practical, common-sense tools that align with how you like to work, and what your clients need!

I'm ready - add me to the waitlist!

STILL HERE?

Awesome - because there's something I want to tell you.

This is not an online course ... it's an experience.

Join the savvy women already in this group, who are taking action to save time and money, and reclaim the mental bandwidth they need to be able to focus on what they love about their day to day!

HAVE A QUESTION?

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common queries that people have about Thrive Academy. If you have a question about the Academy or joining the waitlist that isn't answered here, go ahead and email magic@thriveadmin.com 

I'll be totally upfront and say that this is not the membership for someone who has never used Microsoft 365 before.

So if you are looking for entry level support for Microsoft 365, then this is not the right place for you. 

But, if you are already using Microsoft 365, and are comfortable with some of the basics, this is where you can take it to a whole new level in terms of integration, automation, and cohesion in your workflows.

Early bird members get an extra bonus offer that won't be made available to the general public, to really kickstart their use of the academy content and ensure they get the support and information they need to start getting more bang for their buck from both the academy and their Microsoft 365 subscription.

I love working with all of my members to build confidence and knowledge, and make sure you have everything you need to create a tailored and aligned business system that eases your workload.

The waitlist is a way of registering your interest in being a member of Thrive Academy. It is NOT a commitment to join.

It means you don't need to keep an eye out for when I announce the doors are opening again, because I'll email you directly to let you know all about it. AND there will be a special offer for you, just to say thanks for being interested.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO COMMITMENT from you to become a member, but it does get you ahead of everyone else when it comes time to consider it properly.

The value of the membership is based on the cost of purchasing this sort of time with me to help you out 1:1, or via some of my online courses. There is no catch. Thrive Academy is affordable, because I believe you deserve to know how to use the tools you have, in ways that will benefit you. The Academy is a 12 month subscription, so you pay an annual access fee and get everything in there. No catch, no hidden rules. HUGE value!

Almost immediately after adding your name to the list, you'll receive an email from me, confirming that you are on the list. After that, you won't hear from me again until just before the doors open next to the general public.

I'll have details of what's inside Thrive Academy, along with a special offer for you as a member of the waitlist, that won't be offered anywhere else. It will also have direct links so you can join the fun directly, without having to worry about adding more tabs to your web browser!

The portion of women working in online businesses and administration roles (freelance or in paid employment) is proportionally higher than men, but the support they receive is substantially less! I started Thrive Academy as a way to play my part in helping to bridge that gap in an affordable, and low-commitment way. I would like to support as many women and non-binary people in achieving calm and order from the chaos and overwhelm of their admin workload, as I can.

But, we're open for everyone! Men are absolutely welcome inside Thrive Academy.

One of the things I really want to focus on with Thrive Academy, is ensuring that the content in the online classes and support provided in our monthly coaching calls, are relevant and helpful to members. By only opening the doors up to new members several times a year, it means I can spend the time in between creating high-quality content for the Academy portal, and connecting with members to ensure that they are getting the most from their membership across the entire year.
