Calling all team managers who are fed up of providing the same information over and over again, just to ensure each team member knows what's going on...
Ready to learn EXACTLY how you can use Microsoft 365 to manage your entire team's workload, all at once?
The go-to membership for teams who are ready to master Microsoft 365, stand out from the pack, and turbocharge productivity for both your team AND your workload.
With detailed and specific monthly video lessons. An action-focussed approach to learning. Expert guidance. And a welcoming and supportive community.
Everyone's been there at some point - even me! You know you need to find a way to balance both the skills and confidence of your team with finding a cost-effective and practical solution for everyone to manage their workload and communicate more efficiently.
Yet somehow?
😣 You're stretched thinner than ever trying to create a system to track things, stay on top of things while you make the system, and actually get things on your to-do list done ...
😣 Or you are sinking time and money into every shiny object that comes along, offering a 'one stop shop' solution that you can simply plug and play across the team, only to be let down over and over again when it isn't right for the majority of your varied skills and working styles (surprise!).
😣 You're cobbling together pieces of systems that you've found online, paid for, or already got working to a certain extent - only to be left with big gaps, systems that don't talk to each other, and a lot of double-handling to check that everything is actually getting done anyway.
😣 And even if you do get something that works, it's clunky and requires so much ongoing maintenance and upgrading of systems regularly, that everyone goes back to doing what they were doing before anyway, resulting in a complete waste of time and money to be no better off!
Maybe you've tried:
Endless Google searches for systems and connections that will do it all for you - only to spend more of your incredibly valuable (and scarce!) time figuring out how it works, which parts of your existing setup it will actually even connect with, and how many extra hoops you have to jump through to make that happen.
Up-ending everything you have, to shoe-horn it all into a snazzy new 'out of the box' system that will do everything for you - and discover that you have to rename and re-create everything you have, learn an entire new language to make it work, and still not quite have it up and running in any connected way.
Honestly?
It's exhausting.
And that would be okay (sort of), if all of your efforts actually resulted in something that helped you and your team to get the items on your to-do list done. You know, the way it promised it would.
But despite pouring blood, sweat and (often real) tears into this -
❌ You don't have anything that feels like a cohesive system.
❌ Most of the features you need are 'upgrades' with associated installations and costs.
❌ You still don't actually trust that it's doing what you want it to.
And the worst part?
❌ You've hit the end of the free trial or limit of the free version, so you either need to add something else to the mix to do more, or cough up MORE time to get it 'working' (oh, and cash!).
But before you bury your head in your hands and dream about taking a sledgehammer to your computer - you should know ...
You are on the right track, and it IS possible to create a system of connected programs and features that suits you, and how you want to work.
The only difference between where your team is right now, and making Microsoft 365 an integrated part of your entire business, is that you don't have the tools in place to see, understand and implement the right elements for your varied workloads and working styles!
Did you realise that in 2022, 48% of the productivity software market was Microsoft 365 (according to Statista)?
A tool you know and use already ... and it's continuing to increase its hold in the productivity software market.
Microsoft 365 is the most cost-effective way for you and your team to integrate and automate your productivity and communication - without taking on more than you can chew.
The reason your previous attempts haven't created a central system that works for everyone isn't because you aren't clever enough.
It's because ...
Most systems aren't designed with your specific needs in mind
Whether it's about the way you engage with clients, or the terminology you use for each stage of a project, the way you and your team work is exclusively yours.
Meaning that no 'plug and play' system is ever going to accommodate your (delightful) quirks and working styles.
A truly customised system is a commitment
... but you can absolutely start wherever you like, cherry-picking the most important elements to you, to start with.
Once you have confidence in the foundations, you can build in any direction, and to any level you like -
and that's the beauty of a truly customised system: it's uniquely yours, and aligns to your working style, language, and needs.
Bottom line?
A seamless and dedicated system doesn't have to consume your life...
OR
make you want to take a sledgehammer to your screen!
Imagine:
Making decisions about allocating workload with confidence, because you have a system that is reliable and up to date at all times.
Feeling in control of your time and energy, because you have a clear and concise system that aligns with your working style.
Never losing hours of your day down a Google rabbit-hole to find answers to your questions, because all the information is in a central and accessible portal.
Feeling confident to try new things and build systems based on your specific needs because you have a supportive community cheering you on every step of the way.
Always being one step ahead of what your team and business need because you've got the secret sauce to create, evolve and grow with confidence.
Imagine no more!
I'm about to show you a better way to streamline and rocket your systems and processes so you can STOP chasing rainbows and finally get the automated and integrated setup you and your amazing team deserve ... all in ONE fun, thriving place.

But who is Thrive Academy really for?
Great question! You're in the right place if:
HAVE A QUESTION?
HAVE A QUESTION?
I've got answers!
I've got answers!
Here are some common ones that people ask before joining Thrive Academy. If you still have more, 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 your team are already using Microsoft 365, and are comfortable with some of the basics, this is where you can give them the support and insight they need to truly take the initiative to grow and innovate around your existing business needs, without taking on additional software, training and time commitments. None of this takes them away from their core business function for you, but it helps them do it all so much better.
I love working with all of my corporate members to build confidence and knowledge, and make sure they have everything they need to create the exact resources and content that will make everyone's lives so much easier.
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 your team deserve to know how to use the tools they have, in ways that will benefit you. All without the investment of large training schedules, blocks of time away from core business, and a 'cookie cutter' approach that doesn't let them find the right solutions for them.
The Academy is a 12 month subscription, so you pay an annual fee based on the number of seats you want to have your team using. No catch, no hidden costs. HUGE value!
Thrive Academy's corporate membership is a 12 month subscription, with instant access on registration of your individual seats (via an email address confirmation). I do offer a 14 day money-back guarantee. If you decide the academy isn't right for your team within the first 14 days of purchase, simply email magic@thriveadmin.com and we will cancel your licences and refund your payment in full.
After the 14 days, if you decide it's not for you, you can choose not to renew the membership when it comes up in 12 months' time, so each seat's access will run out and you won't be charged again.
I like to keep things pretty simple, so it's a simple 4 step process to becoming a corporate academy member:
1: Fill out the form that all of the buttons on this page will take you to (or you can simply CLICK HERE) to tell me who you are, how many seats you want, and where to send your payment links to.
2: A unique link for payment of the exact number of seats you want, at the correct corporate rate is sent to you by email. A single payment per year for all of the seats you need.
3: Once payment is confirmed, a final email is sent out with the registration link for each individual in your team. If you purchase 5 seats, the link can be used 5 times by different individuals to register for Thrive Academy.
4: The individuals who register will get their own confirmation email and login details, and they then have instant access to the academy portal and member benefits.
This link is to be shared with each individual you want to have using a licence in the academy. They register themselves with their own corporate email address, and will receive a confirmation of their access and login details. Individuals can also engage with ALL of the Thrive Academy members via the private community for additional support and connection, if they like.
Oh, and for your custom workshops? I'll get in touch as part of the confirmation process and we can discuss when you'd like to set up your session(s), and the topic you want to cover. I'll then get to work on creating your customised workbooks and training, and you can sit back and feel incredibly pleased with how organised you are!
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.
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!
