NEW EPISODE DROP🎙️

You can keep everyone else moving, but what happens when you’re the one who feels stuck?

Admin professionals are brilliant at managing competing priorities, solving problems and creating momentum for others. Yet when it comes to our own goals, difficult conversations or important tasks, overwhelm and overthinking can stop us from beginning.

In this episode of The Admin Avenues Podcast, Lizzie Williamson shares how her Two Minute Method™ can help you:
• Start the task you’ve been avoiding
• Stop mistaking overthinking for progress
• Take action without waiting to feel motivated or confident
• Prepare for difficult conversations, boundaries or salary discussions
• Build momentum without trying to change everything at once

If you regularly finish the day feeling busy and exhausted but still wonder what you actually achieved, this conversation is for you.

You can see Lizzie deliver her energising closing keynote live at the 2026 Admin Avenues Sydney Conference on Monday, 12 October.

“I have Microsoft Copilot. Now what?”

This is what I keep hearing from admins.

Their organisation has given them access to Copilot and told them it will save them time, but no one has shown them how to use it for the realities of supporting an executive.

So it sits there as a chat box. Handy for the occasional draft, but nowhere near the work that actually eats the day.

Sound familiar?

That’s why I wanted the Copilot session at the Admin Avenues Conferences to be grounded in what Admins actually do every day.

Andrew O’Young, Microsoft MVP from Informotion, will present a session that cuts through the noise.

He’ll show you what happens when you stop treating Copilot as a chat box and start using it around the realities of the admin role.

The board pack rebuilt on a Friday night. The actions nobody else chases. The same five questions you answer every single day. The knowledge you carry in your head that makes taking leave feel almost impossible.

You’ll see what today’s Microsoft 365 Copilot can genuinely take off your plate and, just as importantly, where it stops. What it will and won’t do on your behalf, and how you stay in control of the work that carries your name.

It will be practical, honest and grounded in the work you’re already doing.

You’ll leave knowing where Copilot can genuinely save you time, where it can’t yet, and where to start on Monday.

The goal isn’t to use AI for the sake of it. It’s to reduce repetitive work, create more capacity and give you more time to focus on the work that makes you truly valuable to your executive and organisation.

If your organisation has given you Copilot but you’re still wondering what to do with it, this session is for you.

Adelaide | 28 September
Sydney | 12 October
Brisbane | 26 October

Come and learn what Copilot can actually do for admins and how it can change the way you work.

I’m going to answer the question people are really asking when they consider attending a conference:

What will actually be different afterwards?

You don’t need another day of being told that AI is changing work, networking is important or you should invest in yourself.

You need help making sense of what all of it means for you.

You may be excellent at your job and still feel unsure about:
• Which parts of your contribution will carry greater weight in the years ahead
• What executives now expect from high-level EA support
• Which AI tools are genuinely useful in your work
• How to keep performing without operating in a constant state of pressure
• Where your next career opportunity or development priority might sit
• How to turn what you learn into something you will actually use

The 2026 Admin Avenues Conference programme has been built around those questions.

Across the day, you will learn how to manage pressure more sustainably, understand where EA value is shifting, use AI and Copilot in practical ways, build a professional network that creates real opportunity and develop habits that survive the reality of a busy role.

You will also hear directly from EAs using AI in their work, including what has worked, what has not and what they wish they had known earlier.

You may arrive feeling busy, stretched and uncertain about where to focus.

Our aim is for you to leave with clearer priorities, useful tools, stronger connections and a much better view of what comes next.

For those ready to go further, Rachael Bonetti’s - The New Value Equation masterclass takes place the following day in each city.

These conferences help you understand the wider changes shaping the profession. The masterclass gives you dedicated time to apply them to your own role, complete a personal value audit and build a practical career action plan.

Two distinct experiences. One much clearer way forward.

📍 Adelaide | 28–29 September
📍 Sydney | 12–13 October
📍 Brisbane | 26–27 October

Attend the conference, the masterclass or BOTH!

There has never been a more important time for admin professionals to invest in their professional development.

AI is reshaping how we work. Expectations are increasing. Roles are becoming broader, and the value within our profession is shifting. Standing still is no longer the safe option.

Yet, as admins, we’re often so busy organising everyone else’s training, conferences and development that our own careers somehow end up at the bottom of the list.

There will never be a perfect time to step away from your inbox, but your career cannot always come last.

Our latest blog explores why professional development, meaningful connections and putting yourself in the right rooms matter more than ever, and how taking the time to invest in yourself now can shape where your career takes you next. And if you’re ready to put that into action, we’d love to have you in the room with us.

The 2026 Admin Avenues Conferences, followed by Rachael Bonetti’s exclusive masterclasses, are coming to:

📍 Adelaide | 28–29 September
📍 Sydney | 12–13 October
📍 Brisbane | 26–27 October

Come for the conversations, the learning, the connections and the opportunity to spend two days investing in you.

NEW EPISODE DROP🎙️

Ever been asked to organise a team day with no direction beyond: “Just find something fun”?

In this episode of The Admin Avenues Podcast, I’m joined by Will Mason from Beyond the Boardroom, Pinnacle Team Events and Corporate Volunteering Australia to unpack what actually makes a team experience work.

We talk about:
• How to avoid forced fun and awkward activities
• The questions to ask before you start planning
• How to choose the right experience for different personalities and abilities
• The common mistakes organisations make when comparing providers
• Why great teamwork is never accidental

Will and his team are also National Sponsors of the 2026 Admin Avenues Conference Series and will be kicking off Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane with a high-impact icebreaker.

If planning team days, conferences or workplace events forms part of your role, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you do it well.

Ever left a conference feeling inspired... only to fall back into the same routine by Monday? You’re not alone.

The hardest part isn’t knowing what to do. It’s actually following through. That’s why we’re delighted to welcome Claire Jackson to the Adelaide Admin Avenues Conference with her closing keynote: ‘Tiny Habits® for Busy Humans: From Good Intentions to Easier Daily Action

Admin professionals spend their days helping everyone else stay organised, productive and on track. But when it comes to our own goals, wellbeing and professional growth? They often end up at the bottom of the list.

Drawing on behavioural science, the internationally recognised Tiny Habits® Method, and her own lived experience of recovering from burnout, Claire will show you why lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder.

It comes from making change easier.

You’ll discover:
✨ Why behaviour design is far more effective than motivation or willpower
🧠 How to build habits that actually fit your busy life
⚡ Practical ways to improve the way you work - without adding more to your workload
🌱 How to create lasting change, even when your days are unpredictable
✅ A simple framework you can use whenever you want to build a new habit or break an old one
After a full day of learning, this is the perfect way to finish.

You’ll leave not just inspired, but with practical tools to help you turn ideas into action and one tiny habit you can start before Monday even arrives.
