    We aren’t just a community. We are a movement redefining the admin profession for the future of work. Read below ????

    Everyone Says "A Community That Gets It." But What Is "It," Exactly? Lately, I’ve seen a lot of spaces claiming to be “a community that gets it.” And every time, I think: Gets what? Because no one actually says. So let's be clear. Here’s what The Future Focused Admin "gets": That administrative professionals are not just support staff. We’re strategists, problem-solvers, and the glue that holds teams together. That career stability in 2025 isn’t about loyalty to a company; it’s about having options; whether that means upskilling, pivoting, or going solo. That burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s the natural result of an industry that expects more for less. And we’re done pretending it’s sustainable. That AI isn’t here to replace us but we need to know how to use it before someone decides they don’t need to keep us. The Future Focused Admin isn’t just a place to vent (though we do that, too). It’s a space for action. For finding new paths, learning real skills, and reclaiming our careers on our own terms. So if you’re tired of vague promises and empty buzzwords, you’re in the right place. We get it. And we’re building something better. What do you need most in your career right now? Let’s talk. #FutureOfWork #TheFutureFocusedAdmin

  • From our Co-Founder Jessica McBride on her personal experience with IWD ????

    I am loud because they fought to be heard. I take up space because they refused to be erased. I speak without fear because they risked everything to make sure I could. International Women’s Day isn’t just about celebrating where we are. It’s about recognizing the ones who got us here. The ones who were told to be quiet and spoke anyway. The ones who were punished for being “too ambitious” and kept going. The ones who didn’t live to see the change they fought for, but pushed forward anyway. I get to be vocal, bold, and unapologetic because of them. So today, I don’t just celebrate women. I honor the work, the sacrifice, and the sheer force of will that made my voice possible. We aren’t done yet, but because of them, we are louder than ever. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #WomenWhoLead #TheFutureFocusedAdmin

  • International Women’s Day isn’t just about inspiration - it’s about action! As we embrace UN Women’s theme ‘March Forward, for ALL Women and Girls’, we acknowledge the progress made while recognizing the work still ahead. Advocacy isn’t a one-day event, it happens in our workplaces, boardrooms, and policies every single day. For the 98% of the admin profession who are women, the gaps in recognition, pay, and career progression remain real. We are more than “support”, we are leaders, strategists, and change-makers. ?? Today, and every day, let’s: ?? Advocate for fair pay, career growth & respect ?? Lift each other up with real opportunities, not just words ?? Celebrate every win, because progress is collective At The Future Focused Admin, we move forward together—because when women rise, we all do. ?? Here’s to women who challenge the status quo ?? Here’s to those who lead with courage ?? Here’s to the allies who drive real change Thank you to ALL the women who have supported us in launching The Future Focused Admin Community. We’re committed to advocating for you - and making you proud ???? #IWD2025 #MarchForward #GenderEquality #TheFutureFocusedAdmin #TheFutureFocusedAdminPodcast #AdminProfessionals #WomenWhoLead Candice Burningham Jessica McBride

    One of the things that first stood out to Jessica McBride (Co-Founder of The Future Focused Admin) when she started getting involved in the admin community, was how often we seem to reinvent the wheel. The lack of formal education and structured training in our roles means that many of us just “figure it out”. So what’s the solution? Workflows! Through this new community, we are committed to refining processes for admins. And we aim to arm you, our members with easy, simple to follow work flows to have your life easier. Check out our ‘Guide to Workflows’ below in Jessica’s post. We want to know, what workflows have you implemented that have made a real impact? Has AI helped you streamline your processes? Drop your thoughts below???? #TheFutureFocusedAdmin #ExecutiveAssistant #AdministrativeProfessional #Workflows #AIForAdmins #TechSavvyAssistant #AdminEducation #AdminAdvocates

    One of the things that first stood out to me when I started getting involved in the admin community was the amount of reinviting the wheel we tend to do. The lack of formal education and training on our role often means people just "figure it out" or in the words of Dr. Ian Malcolm, "Life, uh, finds a way." So what is the solve? Workflows! And don't ask me if I follow them. Do as I say, not as I do. I'm working on my processes this year. What is a workflow you've implemented? Has AI helped you implement better processes? #TheFutureFocusedAdmin #ExecutiveAssistant #AdmininstrativeProfessional
