Excel Foundations Lab
In just four weeks,
Excel can finally feel easy.
I''ve felt the exact same way!
I remember hearing someone mention a VLOOKUP during a meeting and thinking, “I’ve tried to learn that ten times, and I still don’t get it.” I’d spend hours watching tutorials, asking for help and hoping this time it would finally click, but it never did.
If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone. Most women in operations were never formally trained in Excel, we were just expected to know how to use it. It’s not your fault that it’s felt confusing or frustrating for this long.
But let me tell you, once I finally learned Excel in a way that made sense, everything changed for me and my career. I went from dreading it to actually enjoying it. I worked faster. I felt confident sharing data. I even got promoted! I stopped letting Excel be the thing that made me feel “less than" and constantly holding me back from better opportunities.
You can absolutely have that same transformation. You just need Excel finally taught in a way that feels real, simple, and built for you.
When you hear the word VLOOKUP, you instantly panic and rethink your entire career path.
When asked to share your screen, you immediately try to get out of it because you don’t want anyone to see you fumbling through Excel. Incoming bad wifi excuse.
Do you ever say “sure, I know Excel” or maybe you've put "proficient in Excel" on your resume and pray no one asks you to prove it?
listen, I've totally been there!
You just want to finally learn the basics that actually matter for your role. The ones that make your day feel lighter, save you hours of work a week, and help you finally move past the stress and overwhelm you’ve been carrying.
You’ve tried random online tutorials and pre-recorded courses but it never sticks, and you’re too embarrassed to ask your coworkers for help again.
Do you carry that low key stress that today’s the day someone figures out you don’t fully know what you’re doing in Excel and you'll be replaced?
Do you find yourself avoiding projects that involve spreadsheets or data because it feels overwhelming and you’re tired of feeling behind?
You finally understand the Excel basics that make your job so much easier, the ones you use every day and for once it finally clicks.
When someone says “VLOOKUP,” you don’t freeze, you know exactly what it means and how to use it. And it turns out when you're taught how to do it the right way, it really isn't that hard!
The things you used to avoid like sorting, filtering, formatting, and basic formulas now feel really simple and easy to do.
You can share your screen in a meeting and walk through your sheet with confidence (no heart-racing, no awkward silence).
You can finally put "Proficient In Excel" on your résumé and actually mean it. No more crossing your fingers in interviews or panicking when you get hired.
You’re ready for that raise, that promotion, or that dream job you’ve been holding back from because you finally have the Excel confidence to match your skills.
You just want to finally learn the basics that actually matter for your role. The ones that make your day feel lighter, save you hours of work a week, and help you finally move past the stress and overwhelm you’ve been carrying.

Sneak Peak
Hi, I'm Amanda!
When I was starting out, I actually hired someone on Fiverr to help me through an interview assessment because I couldn’t handle the Excel portion on my own.
I dreaded presenting data, knowing I’d probably fumble through the file and feel embarrassed, even though I could interpret the insights better than anyone in the room.
I leaned on analysts to fill in the gaps and constantly worried someone would notice, that I’d be found out, that my boss would think I couldn’t pull my weight.
When I finally went looking for help, everything felt wrong. I found outdated trainings, irrelevant examples and nothing that spoke to what we actually do in Sales Ops.
I wanted someone to explain Excel like a human, in real time, in a space that felt supportive and even a little fun.
So I created the Excel Foundations Lab! The program I needed years ago, built for women who are ready to finally feel confident in Excel.
I'm so glad you're here and can't wait for you to finally put the Excel stress behind you too!
