Stop being the best-kept secret in someone else's business.
You're the one people turn to when everything's on fire. You're the one who sees the bigger picture when everyone else sees tasks. You flag problems three steps before they happen. You build systems out of thin air. You run entire operations on instinct, skill and sheer capability.
And yet, your title doesn't reflect it. Your income doesn't reflect it. And the credit? More often than not,
it goes somewhere else.

A Certified Online Business Manager® does everything you're already doing, as their own boss, for multiple clients, under their own brand, with a globally recognised certification. The difference between you now and you as a Certified OBM isn't skill. It's the title, the framework, the door, and of course the massive earning potential.
Thrive OBM Ignite is where you walk through it.ragraph Font

Let us help you decide
This is for you if…
You're doing operational, strategic work as a VA, but your job title and income say otherwise
You're a PA or EA who knows you're meant for more, and you're done waiting for someone else to give you permission
You're already running things behind the scenes and want to run them for yourself
You want a career with real credentials not just a niche and a Canva template
You've heard about AI changing the operations space and you want to be ahead of it, not scrambling to catch up
You want to hear it straight, no fluff, no hype.
This is NOT for you if…
❌ You're looking for a quick fix or a passive income shortcut
❌ You're happy to stay where you are, this event is for people ready to move
❌ You're not willing to invest in building a real, sustainable career
(If none of those apply your spot is waiting.)
Your Host
Amanda Hyde-Pierce
Founder: Thrive OBM Academy
CEO: International Association of Online Business Managers
"You don't need to start over. You need to step up."
Amanda Hyde-Pierce is the founder of Thrive OBM Academy and the CEO of the International Association of Online Business Managers (IAOBM) the global professional body that set the standards, defined the designation, and exclusively represents Certified OBMs worldwide.
When Amanda says this certification is respected by clients globally, she's not speaking from marketing copy. She's speaking from personal experience.
Just six years ago, Amanda was receiving food-bank support for her and her son. She had mounting debt and had to remortgage her home. Becoming a Certified OBM changed everything for her. Within 12 months Amanda had a global award winning agency. Less than 2 years after that, she was invited by the founder of the IAOBM, Tina Forsyth, to become the first UK-based trainer in the history of the programme and then in 2026 she received the greatest honour of all when Tina stepped back after nearly two decades and chose Amanda as the person who would take her place as owner and CEO of the very institution that made all that made all of that come true.
Read more on Amanda’s personal story here.
Thrive OBM Academy is very precious to Amanda. It was her starting point for training extraordinarily talented VAs, PAs and EAs who just like her were already operating at OBM level; they just hadn't been shown the door to the right room yet. Amanda is thrilled to be hosting Thrive Ignite Live on 18th and 19th June.

FAQ
Is this really for free?
Completely. No credit card. No catch.
Just two days of straight-talking, high-value information with someone who knows this industry inside out.
I'm not sure if OBM is right for me should I still come?
Especially then. These two sessions have been built with you in mind, to help you decide with real information, not a sales pitch. Come with your questions and leave with your answer.
Will there be replays?
Replays are available to registered attendees for 48 hours after each session. After that, they come down. Register now so you don't miss out.
How much time do I need?
Up to 90 minutes per day. Come live if you can.
I'm already a VA with clients, is this relevant to me?
Very. Some of our most successful graduates came from exactly where you're standing. The skills you've built aren't starting points, they're your foundation. This is about building the business on top of them.
What makes Thrive OBM different from other programmes?
Two things: AI Strategy is embedded into every certification pathway, not an add-on, not a future module. And Amanda isn't just a trainer, she's the CEO of the global industry body that represents Certified OBMs worldwide. You're not just getting a course. You're getting the standard-setter.
