Business Workshop: Behind the Scenes — Admin Without the Overwhelm

Running your own business shouldn’t mean drowning in spreadsheets and to-do lists. Whether you’re launching your first venture or scaling what you’ve built, this session is designed to help you streamline your back-end tasks without sacrificing your sanity — or your soul.

This workshop is part of a 5-part business skills series tailored specifically for trans, gender diverse, and non-binary folks aged 18+. Led by Sam Dengate (he/him), you’ll walk away with practical tools and systems that turn administrative chaos into calm productivity. Think templates, automation hacks, and boundary-setting strategies — all with a side of queer solidarity.

You’ll learn how to:

• Organise your paperwork and digital files without losing your mind
• Set up simple, effective routines for weekly admin
• Use free or low-cost tools that actually work for you — no tech jargon required
• Delegate or outsource tasks without feeling guilty
• Protect your energy and time — because burnout isn’t a badge of honour

No prior business experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a laptop or notebook. Light refreshments will be provided, and there’s plenty of space to ask questions (and laugh at the absurdity of it all).

Refunds available up to one day before the event. We’ve intentionally kept the pace relaxed, inclusive, and jargon-free — because your business should serve you, not the other way around.
