Maggie Olson | How to Level up as an Assistant

Maggie Olson, Founder of Nova Chief of Staff, will walk through numerous steps that our audience of assistants can implement right away to add more value in their role. Maggie will share practical ways that assistants can both personally grow and increase their impact with their leader. From executive project management, to ensuring your leader is prepared for every engagement, to negotiating what’s next for you… you won’t want to miss this hands-on, resource-filled session!

Nicole Zasowski | The Courage to Celebrate

We don’t often talk about the fact that joy is the most vulnerable feeling we feel. But the truth is, many of us find it safer not to hold joy than to hold something that might break. In this session, Nicole will combine her experience as a marriage and family therapist with biblical truth to help us find the courage to embrace joy and introduce practical steps we can take to begin practicing celebration today!

Jonathan Mussett | Heroes Make It Happen

In the workplace, administrative professionals are the heroes that make it happen. They turn the aspirations of the organization - and dreams of their leader - into a reality. In this session you will learn how maximizing servant leadership and the spiritual gift of administration increases the effectiveness of the leader you support, and the impact of the organization you serve. You will also learn how fully owning the mission and the key responsibilities of your role, honors God and inspires people. ”Remember even when no one sees what you do, God does, and He will reward you for your hard work. - Pastor Jon"

Nick Buda | I The Heart of Jesus as an Admin

The work of admins is often overlooked and unrecognized. This can be challenging and at times, depleting. In his session, Nick will remind us of the heart of Jesus and how it can transform the way we approach our role.

Ashley Weece | The Ambitious Admin

Our hands follow our ambitions. What we do is directly connected to what, or who is motivating us. God has made you for a vibrant life and ministry, but His invitation to take hold of this ambitious life requires letting go of what is holding you back. In this session, Ashley will dive into leading out of a biblical ambition that wins respect and pleases God.

Laura Avery | Church Hurt: Let’s Talk About It

There are as many ways to process church hurt as there are people in the church. Let’s spend time talking about it, review some best practices, and share ways to support each other.

Jesse Andersen | Serving Well Without Losing Yourself

Many of us are serving others with a genuine heart, but our habits are leaving us feeling depleted over time. How do we avoid over-functioning and over-extending ourselves so that we serve from a place of differentiation and rest? You will walk away from this session with skills and resources to help you serve in a healthier way.

Heather Burczynski | Create with Canva

Alina Wheeler, a branding marketing pioneer said, "Design is intelligence made visible,” and Heather firmly believes this is true even for work that admins do. From creating a meeting agenda, to a vibrant, thoughtful, and beautiful presentation, this breakout will help you learn the basics of Canva to turn you into a graphic designer expert! Materials needed: laptop, a Canva account (free-www.canva.com)

Lane Grimes | Influencing Your Workplace When You Don’t Have Authority

Every position in an organization brings an important perspective. You have critical information and ideas that can help inform decisions your leaders make. But it can be hard to make your voice heard when you don’t have authority on the org chart. Come learn some tips and tricks on earning credibility with your boss and within your organization so you can make a bigger difference than you already do!

Sara Whitbeck | AI-ing the Way: A Day in the Life of an Executive Assistant, Optimizing Efficiency with Powerful Tools

Join us as we discover how AI can revolutionize our workflow and transform the way administrative assistants manage their responsibilities, increase effectiveness, tap into your inner creativity and streamline efficiency. This session promises to be an eye-opening journey where you will leave with a suite of apps along with practical tips, tricks, and best practices to help you successfully engage new technology. Let’s walk through our day to discover how automation, AI-driven solutions, and intuitive interfaces can empower administrative professionals in their daily tasks.

Nathan Elder | Overcoming Performance Plateaus

In the course of our careers, there are instances where we feel stuck, anticipating the next move. This breakout session involves evaluating your current work performance, identifying key growth areas, and crafting a plan to prepare you for the next phase of your professional ministry journey. The goal is to enhance your ability to lead yourself efficiently and effectively, allowing you to embody your true potential.
