Star Achievement Series® Level I
Fall 2023
The Star Achievement Series® Second Generation training course was created specifically for the post-pandemic workplace. This course is designed to help assistants excel in any work environment, whether it's full-time in the office, remote, virtual, or hybrid. Joan Burge, the creator of this Star Achievement program, recently received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Silicon Valley Admin Awards. Joan is recognized as the pioneer of administrative training, and I am proud to call her my mentor and friend.
Building on the incredible success of the original Star Achievement Series®, which had been updated 16 times over its 32-year history, the Second Generation is deeper, more intimate, and more robust than ever before. It offers expanded content with brand new chapters and cutting-edge material, individual and team assessments to help assistants pinpoint their strengths and areas for growth, and proven strategies to help assistants unlock their full potential. We understand that times have changed, and we want to ensure that assistants are equipped with the tools and strategies to succeed in the post-pandemic workplace.
