Star Achievement Series®

 

Training_Program_For_Administrative_Assistants-Star-Banner

 

Star Achievement is an elite training program for administrative and executive assistants, secretaries and administrative support staff.  It has a proven track record since 1990, and has been continually revised and enhanced (16 times!) since its inception. It is a philosophy-based program that teaches a way of life, a way of being and thinking to elicit success.

Star Achievement is the unique combination of 4 components that make the program so powerful and, yes, life changing. These components cross the spectrum in creating well- rounded high-profile administrative professionals who crave success and partnerships, and who now have the tools and behaviors to deliver.

Star solidifies performance and teaches the how’s and why’s of a new way of processing work and life. The Star Achievement Series® turns potential talent into demonstrable competence, resulting in an administrative staff equipped to move beyond task work to higher-level functions within their job requirements.

Star Achievers synergize these four components into their everyday professional performance and, over time, fully develop as leaders who exhibit confidence at work, at home and in the community.

 

Attitude

Achieving and sustaining a positive attitude about the employer,
clients, co-workers, and self.

Skill

Developing new and enhancing current intangible skills
that are vital to workplace success.

Teamwork

Being a part of and contributing to various team relationships,
both internal and external to the organization.

Strategy

Setting goals and cultivating enriching relationships to
actualize one’s professional self.

More confident

By striving to be a Star Performer on the job, I am more confident, more creative, and more efficient. This is one training course where you don’t passively listen in a classroom, then go back to your desk and forget everything you learned. With all the group interaction, activities and workbook exercises, each person is actively involved. I find myself practicing Star principles every day. – Dixie

I am shining

I was given an opportunity to do a presentation for some upper management and impressed them all! I am shining here and, to my amazement, others in the company actually notice. I could not shine without having been in the Star Achievement program. – Tammy

More poised

I wanted to thank you for teaching me all those public-speaking tips, poise, confidence, organizational skills, preparedness, etc., in Star Achievement classes. I put them all to work and won our RCOPO election last night. – Frances

Putting Myself Out There

With a new manager I find that I'm busier than ever before and I credit Star Achievement for "putting myself out there" and volunteering to take on functions that were somewhat out of my area of expertise, but I took the risk and dove in. I'm learning new things, meeting and working with other people and also find myself mentoring a couple of young, new-to-the-workplace people who thank me all the time for helping them transition. I'm in my 28th year at my current job and intend to retire from the workplace from this job. Thank you again for your expertise, encouragement and excellent advice & training - you'll always be a special person to me.  - Veronica

Energizing class

I have sat through many evening classes while going to college that lasted up to 3 ½ hours each night. But the 8 hours in this class did not make me feel tired, since the activities and feedback provided me with information to apply. – Vannessa

Shining every day

I asked the managers to provide me with feedback at some point if they had seen changes in their admins. One stood up immediately and said, 'I don’t need to wait until later. I can tell you right now that Robbin came back a different person and has been continuing to shine every day since! She’s sharing what she’s learning with others and is definitely energized.'– Annette Brown, Star Achievement Facilitator

Better problem solver

I look at problem solving in a new way. I utilize techniques we learned when facing challenges. I have more self-confidence, especially when dealing with difficult situations or people. I offer my opinions and feelings more readily and in a tactful manner. I am less afraid to try new things. – Shari

Star is most important program

As I have told Learning and Development, the Star program is the most important course that I have seen that has hit Rockwell Collins in my 14 years with the company. The value of the program to the administrative staff here cannot be put into words. – Linda

I am reaching for the stars

I know I was becoming complacent in how I did things, and I felt I was extremely good at what I did. The Star Achievement program made me realize I am not as good as I think I am…. That is positive – gives me something to strive for and will help me long term! – Teresa
