The success, vision, decorum, and qualities of a future-focused assistant can be obtained through a powerful combination of attitude, skill, teamwork, and strategy – The Star Achievement Series®.
This elite training program for executive assistants and administrative professionals consists of Two Levels of learning with four Modules in each Level.
Two levels – 8 Modules

A person’s attitude is fragile and delicate. It can be easily broken by poor self-image, or it can become hard and cold. Attitudes are also susceptible to outside forces, such as family, co-workers and society. Yet attitudes are the foundation upon which our work performance, productivity, relationships and health are built. When people feel hurt, angry or put down, they cannot perform their jobs well. Therefore, it’s important to help them guard and protect positive attitudes – among their most important assets to success in the workplace.

The administrative professional’s role has become complex and increasingly demanding, as the emphasis has shifted to multifunctional, generalized performance. The administrative staff is being asked to do more work, fulfill broader organizational roles, support multiple managers, and still maintain high levels of quality. As a result, interpersonal skills and the ability to manage one’s thoughts and behaviors are imperative.

You present yourself to others constantly. You make connections by telephone, e-mail and via social media. You send visual messages to individuals you approach. Every day you come in contact with many people: co-workers, customers, vendors and other professionals. Your personal presentation style and speaking ability will either enhance or detract from your message. Equally important is the ability to communicate your needs assertively, but not aggressively. Your ability to communicate clearly with others can be one of your best business assets.

Collaboration brings holistic energy. Instead of working in silos, which seems to be the case for many assistants, seek to work with your administrative peers. Doing so will make you well-rounded, full, universal, complete, all-inclusive, and whole. Instead of you trying to figure everything out on your own, wasting precious time and energy, you could be increasing your productivity and experiencing better outcomes. That should motivate you to increase your “hope quotient” by respecting the diversity of your team mates and leveraging the power of teaming together.
