Once upon an overflowing inbox, I could wrangle calendars, unearth missing files, and coax a spreadsheet into singing harmony.

All before lunch time. I knew how to make systems hum, even when they were stitched together with duct tape, diplomacy, and a dash of passive-aggressive formatting.

After years of working behind the scenes, I realised the real story was waiting in front of me. The skills I used to keep everything running — clarity, structure, anticipation — turned out to be exactly what AI responds to best.

So, I made the leap. Not with blind optimism, but with curiosity, grit, and a healthy dose of “surely there’s a better way.” Now I help administrators and office pros turn their quiet brilliance into tech-powered confidence.

Daring Next is where that journey lives. A space for the quietly bold, the digitally curious, and the spreadsheet whisperers ready to reimagine what work can be. It’s not about chasing every shiny new tool, it’s about cutting through the overwhelm, working smarter, claiming back your time, and shaping a career that actually fits.

This isn’t just a blog: it’s a starting point, a toolkit, and a cheer squad for your own reinvention. You don’t have to become a tech expert overnight. You just need to be willing to try, tweak, and trust that your instincts still matter, maybe more than ever.

So, pull up a chair. Let’s decode the mysteries, one experiment (and one laugh) at a time. The future of work isn’t something to fear, it’s something we get to shape.

Let’s create tomorrow, together.
