Monday inspiration with Hana Gray
Who are you?
I’m Hana Gray – most people who know me well just call me H. I’m the Founder of The Office Management Group, a powerhouse community for Office & Workplace Managers to grow, learn and connect.
An original anecdote about you?
I once featured on the phone to Nickelodeon to do an impression of a cartoon character… and accidentally overshared about a boy I fancied. Mortifying then, hilarious now.
What’s the project you’re most proud of and why?
Probably one of my earliest projects at J.P. Morgan – a full office move and fit-out in a live environment. I was thrown in the deep end with barely any notice, but it was the moment I found my love for office management. So many moving parts, so much responsibility, and somehow… I nailed it.
What do you enjoy most in your daily life?
Time with my five-year-old son, long walks with my dog, ticking off my to-do list (don’t knock it, it’s a thrill), and honestly? I love my work. A good massage also never hurts – it's the one thing that makes me fully switch off.
One piece of professional advice you give yourself that actually works?
There's no proof that you cannot do it; there's zero evidence that you can't make it happen. So go and do it.
How do you recharge after an intense week?
Massage, fresh air, a proper catch-up with my mum, and a good dog walk. That combo resets everything.
How do you stay up to date?
I scan newsletters, picking out what’s relevant, and my network is gold for keeping me in the loop. LinkedIn’s also a great scroll a few times a week.
What are your 3 most-used emojis?
🙌 🖤 😂 Which probably sums me up pretty well.
