Managing Your Own Microsoft 365? Admin Settings Every Solo Business Owner Must Know

| February 17, 2026

Hi folks! I have so many clients that manage their own Microsoft 365 accounts that I thought I would offer 3-mini workshops for you all. These will be 20 min in length and I will cover 5 topics per session. I will leave 10 min for Q&A at the end. I’m going to run these in March and if they go well, I’ll do them in April. I will not be recording these, so if you want to learn, I recommend you attending. If you have any questions please email lisa@callthatgirl.biz
