Are you sick and tired of:

  • Always playing catch-up.

  • Wasting time searching for files or tracking down updates.

Master a repeatable process to tackle these challenges with confidence!

Hi, I'm Rachel Flood!

I've been in the business of designing and re-designing businesses, agencies, and organisations for over 20 years, and I want to help YOU to finally get ahead on your never ending to do list! 

I created this program to help operations and admin professionals, business owners, arts administrators, and other folks who love getting sh!t done, to get it done faster and easier!

Unlock the tools and strategies I have used for years to create a more seamless & effective way of working!

This comprehensive program teaches the Stop Using Spreadsheets Method, a repeatable, step-by-step process to help:

  1. Shift from reactive to proactive operations.

  2. Solve any operations challenge and lead successful implementations.

  3. Embed best practices that save time—and your sanity!

Clear away the confusion and take charge of your organization’s digital transformation journey!

This program is for you if:

  • You’re an operations or admin professional ready to elevate your impact.

  • You want to implement business systems that are clear, efficient, and scalable.

  • You’re done with spending endless hours creating reports and managing chaos.

  • You need a unified system to keep your organization organized and on track.

This method works, even if:

  • You’re just starting out with business systems.

  • You’re a veteran operations expert.

  • You’re feeling too overwhelmed to take on more.

  • You’re worried about not being tech-savvy.
