About Star Achievement Series ®

AdminUniverse™ is proud to be an authorized user and training facilitator for the Star Achievement Series® created by Joan Burge, founder and CEO of Office Dynamics International. Since 1990, this groundbreaking program has been a training staple for world-class employers who value administrative effectiveness and workplace excellence.

The Star Achievement Series® is built upon Office Dynamics’ innovative workplace philosophy, star performance. More than a training concept, Star Achievement is a way to think, be, and perform. The program consists of 3 levels of learning. Each level consists of 4 full-day modules (workshops). The levels do not correlate to the number of years someone has been in the profession. The levels relate to the concepts and philosophies taught in the Star Achievement Series®, which is similar to a college course.

Innovative Curriculum, Now Virtual

Each level offers a high-energy curriculum, interactive learning techniques, and progressive reinforcement of key learning points that have a cumulative effect on performance over time. While some module topics listed may sound similar to other training programs, please keep in mind that these topics are combined in such a way as to be most effective when implemented cumulatively. The information presented in each module expands upon the previous module’s content, growing in complexity as the series progresses, enhancing the learning experience.

Star Achievement Philosophy

At its core, Star Achievement Series® represents a philosophy of excellence that says to each person, “You have the potential to be a star performer at work.” It just takes the right combination of:

  • Skill: Learning new skills and developing the business and people skills you already have.
  • Attitude: Achieving and maintaining a positive attitude about your employer, co-workers, clients, and yourself.
  • Teamwork: Being a part of, and contributing to, various team relationships inside and outside the organization.
  • Strategy: Setting goals and cultivating networks to actualize your professional self.

This unique combination of skill, attitude, teamwork, and strategy is the foundation of this curriculum. The program goes beyond traditional basic skill training to incorporate a broad selection of interpersonal and self-development courses, which give your administrative office professionals the behavioral foundation to continue growth well beyond the training period. This series focuses on innovative methods of teaching, including interactive role plays, presentations, exercises, timed activities, group discussions, and more. These exercises are energizing, challenging, and fun and have gotten rave reviews from thousands of administrative professionals across the country in a variety of industries and government agencies.
