Presented by Critical Agendas
Critical Agendas presents Proactive Workload Management for Busy Admin Staff/Teams, a full-day workshop on 15 June 2026 at the Shell Club Pecten Centre in Corio, Geelong (9:30 AM – 3:30 PM, registration from 9:00 AM). This practical, hands-on session is designed specifically for administrative staff in schools and other organisations who juggle fast-paced, high-pressure workloads with constant demands and shifting priorities. Led by Sally Learey — a renowned keynote speaker, author of seven books, and education consultant with qualifications in training, positive psychology, coaching, and counselling — this workshop equips front-office teams with practical skills, tools, and strategies to manage their workload proactively rather than reactively. Core topics include understanding the role of emotions in workplace interactions, the importance of job description clarity in reducing confusion and stress, practical time-management strategies for competing demands, techniques for working smarter rather than harder, self-management tools for staying organised and focused during busy periods, and effective coping strategies for workplace stress. Critical Agendas has built a strong reputation for delivering professional development that is both engaging and deeply practical, with consistently outstanding participant feedback. Sally Learey brings a unique combination of teaching experience, positive psychology expertise, and personal insight as a mother of a son with special needs including ASD. For school administration staff, office managers, and support teams seeking strategies to work with greater clarity, confidence, and efficiency, this workshop offers an empowering day of professional learning in a supportive environment.
