Systems Studio

Build systems you can rely on - without holding it all together in your head

Systems Studio is a practical membership for admin professionals who want their work to feel clear, steady, and sustainable - built on complete systems that hold up in real life, not workarounds, memory, or last-minute fixes.

If your work technically "functions", but still feels heavier than it should, this is where that changes.

Not a course to complete. Not a library to binge.
A working studio you come back to when something needs building - or fixing.


You don't need more tools.

You need your work to stop feeling fragile.

Maybe this sounds familiar:

  • You're responsible for how work gets done - but the systems aren't holding up

  • Things live in too many places, and you're the one who knows where

  • Every new client, project, or team change creates more mess to manage

  • You spend time fixing, chasing, and compensating for systems that almost work

  • You're holding the logic in your head - not in a system anyone else can follow

Nothing is on fire.
But nothing feels settled either.

Systems Studio exists for that middle space - where things aren't failing, but they're quietly costing you time, energy, and confidence.

Inside Systems Studio, the goal isn't to "use more tools".

It's to help your work feel:

  • Easier to navigate - you know where things live and why

  • More reliable - systems hold even when things change

  • Less mentally noisy - fewer decisions, less second-guessing

  • More professional - your setup reflects the way you actually work

You stop relying on memory, workarounds, and personal heroics - and start trusting your systems to support you properly.

This isn't about doing more. It's about carrying less.


The Systems Library

Every system is a complete, standalone build - pick what you need, when you need it.

Inside Systems Studio you'll find a growing library of complete system builds - each one designed to solve one operational problem, with everything you need to actually build it. Not just understand it.

Each system includes a walkthrough, templates, swipe files, and a clear implementation checklist. Build it once. Come back to it whenever work changes.

Current systems available:

  • SOPs - Build a clear, reliable record of how your work gets done
  • New Enquiry - Create a consistent, professional process for every new enquiry
  • Client Onboarding - Deliver a calm, confident start to every client relationship
  • Workload Tracking - Get clear visibility over what's on your plate and what's next
  • Board Meetings - Run board meetings that are organised, documented, and repeatable

With more added regularly.

Hi, I'm Marianne (Maz)

I built Systems Studio after years of watching capable people do incredible work... while quietly carrying systems that made everything harder than it should be.

Most of the time, the problem wasn't skill.
It was that the system relied on them to hold it together.

Systems Studio is where I help you step out of that role - and into work that feels clearer, calmer, and more sustainable.

Not perfect.
Just designed to really hold.

Maz's knowledge is next level - she's my go-to when I need help. 

The content and delivery make it so easy to take in when you're juggling all the things. It's great knowing she's there when I need her.

Debbie, Can Do Admin Services

I love the content and the shared conversations. Even the questions other members ask turn into powerful learning moments.

Rachel, Connect & Flow WA

I see myself as very efficient in Microsoft apps, so it's great knowing I have someone in my corner when I need help.

I love how supported this community makes me feel. There's no such thing as a silly question - and I learn from everyone.

Helen, Flexible Admin

Is Systems Studio right for you?

✅ You'll get the most out of Systems Studio if:

  • You're an EA, PA, VA, OBM, or team admin - and you want systems that actually hold up under real work

  • You're the one responsible for how things run - and tired of being the only thing holding it together

  • You want complete, buildable systems - not tips, tutorials, or endless content to consume

  • You prefer plain English over tech jargon - practical over theoretical, always

  • You're ready to stop patching and start building properly

❌ It's probably not the right fit if:

  • You’re looking for Microsoft certifications or deep-dive IT theory

  • You're not using Microsoft 365 and don't plan to

  • You want someone to build your systems for you rather than learning to build them yourself

  • You prefer to DIY everything without support or structure


Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do I need each week?


There's no required weekly time commitment. Some weeks you might attend a live session and work on a system. Other weeks you might do nothing at all - and that's fine. Systems Studio is designed to support you when you need it, not demand your attention constantly.


Do I have to attend the live sessions?


No. Both the Systems Lab and Hot Seat sessions are optional and always recorded. Attend live when it suits you, or catch the replay later. Many members will dip in and out depending on what their work looks like that month.


What if I fall behind, or miss things?


You can't fall behind. Systems Studio isn't sequential or deadline-based. There's no keeping up and nothing to catch up on. You start where you are, build what's relevant, and come back when things shift.


What's the difference between Systems Studio and Systems Studio VIP?


Systems Studio gives you full access to the library, live sessions, and community, plus a discounted rate on monthly Systems Sprints ($49 instead of $149).

VIP includes everything in Studio plus automatic access to every monthly Sprint - live and recorded - for as long as you're a VIP member. No re-registering, no missing out.


Can I cancel my membership?


Yes. Monthly memberships can be cancelled at any time.

Annual memberships run for the full year. There's no lock-in beyond the plan you choose.


Is this just another course library?


No. Systems Studio is designed as a working studio, not a collection of courses to complete.

Each system is a complete, standalone build - you come in, build what you need, and come back when something else needs sorting.

The focus is on systems that hold up in real work, not content to consume.
