THE OBM LAB™ | MOnthly skill based workshops
Learn how to actually do the work of an OBM — one skill at a time.
The OBM Lab is a monthly, skill-based workshop experience for OBMs and operations professionals who want to sharpen their execution, strengthen their delivery, receive hands-on implementation so they can get better at their OBM work.
Each month, you’ll focus on one real-world operational skill (the kind clients actually pay for) with step-by-step guidance and practical tools you can use immediately.
"...You can feel that she actually cares about your growth
and not just your payment..."
"If you’re on the fence: just join. You won’t regret it. The support, the templates, the structure, the strategy, this course gives you all of it. And it gives you confidence in your skillset. I didn’t expect to find my calling through a course. But I did. And I finally feel like I know who I am professionally, and how to move forward."
NEXT WORKSHOP STARTS:
If you've ever said "I just want someone to actually teach me "how" to do the OBM work." Welcome.
Let’s be honest — you’ve probably downloaded more courses than you can count.
You’ve watched the videos.
You understand the concepts.
But when it’s time to actually do the work inside a client’s business, that confidence can disappear fast.
That’s exactly why The OBM Lab™ exists.
The OBM Lab™ is the get-it-done version of professional development.
We don’t teach theory.
We teach focused, skill-based workshops designed to help you confidently implement real operational work — the same way it’s done inside real businesses.
Each month, you’ll focus on one core OBM skill so you can build clarity, confidence, and repeatable systems without feeling overwhelmed or behind.

"She simply gets it.."
..."Qwantel just gets it. That's what does it for me. She just gets it, she understands, she knows the OBM life through and through. There is nothing that goes un missed, and if it does, for whatever reason, she has the brains to give an answer, curate a template, give us the framework, and all the things. So I'm truly, truly grateful..."
"..just know you'll get the exact skills you need.."
"...The templates and information shared are incredibly thorough, saving me a significant amount of time and providing a solid foundation to build upon... I finally feel like I have the structure, tools, and community I need to step fully into my role as an OBM and grow my business sustainably..."

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this for, really?
The OBM Lab is for OBMs, operations managers, and systems-minded professionals who want to actually know how to do the work — not just understand it conceptually.
It’s ideal if you:
Are newer to the OBM role and want confidence in execution
Are transitioning from VA → OBM
Already have clients but want cleaner systems and stronger delivery
Want to sharpen your operational skills without joining another long program
If you’re looking for mindset coaching or general business advice, this probably isn’t for you. In that case view my OBM Strategy Sessions HERE.
Is this a course?
No — and that’s intentional.
This is a monthly, live, skill-based workshop focused on one operational skill at a time.
You’re not going through a long curriculum. You’re learning how to do something specific, the same way you would inside a real client business.
Think: implementation over information.
What happens each month?
Each month includes:
One live workshop focused on a real OBM skill
A step-by-step walkthrough of the process
A practical workshop kit (templates, frameworks, or tools)
Replay access so you can revisit it later
Access inside The OBM Lab workspace
You can attend live or catch the replay — either way, you’ll walk away with something usable.
How quickly will I see results?
Immediately — if you apply what’s taught.
These workshops are designed so you can:
Use the framework with a client the same week
Apply it to your own business systems
Build confidence through repetition, not theory
You’re not waiting months to “get to the good part.”
What tools does this use?
We focus on tools OBMs actually use in real client work — things like:
Project Management Tools
CRM Tools
Data Tracking Tools
Operations Tools
+ more!
You don’t need special software to participate, and nothing is platform-locked.
What if I already have systems in place?
That’s perfect.
This isn’t about starting from scratch — it’s about tightening, refining, and improving how you work.
Many members use the workshops to clean up existing systems, spot gaps, or improve how they deliver for clients.
Can I join if I’m still working a 9–5?
Absolutely.
Many OBMs inside The Lab are:
+ Still in corporate
+ Building on the side
+ Transitioning into client work
The workshops are designed to be practical and flexible, not time-intensive.
Will this overwhelm me?
No — and that’s the point.
You’re only focused on one skill per month, with clear guidance and tools.
No information overload. No pressure to “keep up.”
Just steady, confident progress.
Is this coaching?
No.
This is not a coaching program or a group accountability space.
The OBM Lab is a skill-building lab — focused on execution, clarity, and real operational work.
If you want 1:1 strategy or deeper support, I offer that separately HERE.
Can I cancel anytime?
The first three months are required after that it rolls over to be month to month.
After that, stay as long as it's useful for you.
Ready to stop overthinking and start executing?
If you want to sharpen your skills, work smarter with clients, and build real operational confidence — this is for you.
One focused workshop per month. Real skills. Real confidence.
