What is your book about?
Are you ready to get unburied? If you check work emails on your days off, answer calls after hours, waste time fighting fires or overcompensate for inefficiencies, the answer is “yes.” The solution is in your administrative team. As a business owner or manager, you know admin is necessary. And you might be leaving valuable talent and potential on the table. Buried in Business can help you reclaim your freedom by elevating your admin.
Somewhere along the way, administrative teams became an afterthought—dismissed to support roles.

The Adminnovate Model shows you how to clearly define administrative functions while empowering your team to feel inspired, bring new ideas to the table and make meaningful contributions that fulfill your vision.
Topics include:
- Dismantling the stigma around administrative support in traditional business models.
- Rethinking the way we manage admin.
- Restoring clarity and respectability to these roles.
