The All-New Administrative Assistants Conference
You work hard every day. You deserve this amazing opportunity to learn, grow, and share with other great professionals just like you!
You can attend FREE with STAR12 membership - Get more info.
Program Description:
Come and join us for a
celebration of administrative
professionals EVERYWHERE!
You’re the number one support for other people – for your
coworkers, bosses, vendors, and clients. You spend your time and
your energy making sure everybody else has everything they need,
but are you doing everything you can for your own professional
growth?
It’s time you spent a couple of days focused on YOU – and
your own career!
Join us for The All-New Administrative Assistants Conference and
you’ll build success skills that will last a lifetime. We’ve absolutely
packed this conference with informative sessions taught by
nationally acclaimed speakers. You’ll attend an energizing opening
session, get to choose from eight fantastic breakout sessions, and
finish up with a closing session that will absolutely inspire you!
Imagine spending time with other administrative professionals in
positions just like yours – sharing stories and trading tips with
people who’ve been there, done that, and really understand how
demanding your job can be. Use this time out of the office to
reenergize and refocus and gain a fresh perspective on your
priorities, your goals, and your career. It’s an experience that you
absolutely don’t want to miss.
Treat yourself to a little fun and professional pampering. After all
your hard work, you deserve it!
Regards,
Sharon Yoder

The Microsoft Outlook Workshop for Administrative Professionals
If you’re like many administrative professionals, you probably learned Outlook on the fly. You might think you’re using it to the best of your ability, but the downside is that you may be unaware of a whole host of options that would make your life easier! For instance, do you ever feel like it’s taking too long to sort through your overflowing e-mail inbox … navigating your calendar should be easier … or that keeping your contact list current is too much work? If so, join us for this post-conference workshop.
Attend, and you’ll learn how to …
- Get dozens of time-saving tips and tricks
- Implement e-mail shortcuts that make a real difference in your workday
- Organize your e-mail so it’s easier to manage your overflowing inbox
- Better manage your calendar and your boss’s calendar
- Discover easy-to-use tips for setting up meetings and appointments
- Use the task list to better organize your schedule and set priorities
- Organize all your contacts – and your boss’s – and pull them up ASAP
Outlook may not be the most complicated of Office® programs, but for admins like you, it’s probably one of the most useful. Learn how some of its more underappreciated functions can save you hours of work each week!
Afternoon Workshop 1:15 to 4:00p.m.
Time-Saving Excel Tips, Techniques, and Strategies
Whenever we hold conferences like this one, we survey our participants about what topics they’d like more training for and without a doubt, Microsoft Excel shortcuts top the list! There probably aren’t many days in your job that you don’t use Excel, but that doesn’t mean you know how to maximize your effectiveness with it! Join us for this half-day workshop and learn how to use macros to save tons of time and reduce errors … create eye-catching charts and graphs that bring your numbers to life … make more professional-looking spreadsheets … and automate repetitive tasks!
Your agenda includes …
- The most common Excel shortcuts, tips, and tricks
- Using VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions
- How to create attention-grabbing charts and graphs
- Master essential techniques for creating eye-catching tables
- How to transform any list into a useful Excel database
- Cutting back on repetitive tasks with easy-to-use macros
Don’t waste another moment of your valuable time! Sign up for this workshop and you’ll learn how to use Excel and all its functions more effectively than you ever thought possible!
Covers all versions of Excel and Outlook for Windows and Mac

Opening Session: If Your Life’s a Circus, It’s Time to Become the Ringleader
Everybody else always demands your time and attention – it’s time to kick off
your day of training with some focus on the person who really matters: you!
You’ll discover why it’s so important to set boundaries, understand
communication – and take time out for yourself. You’ll become energized and
inspired to be the absolute best you can be!
TRACK ONE:
Stepping Up: You May Not Have Authority, But You’re
Still in Charge
You’re not the boss – but you’re responsible for organizing people
and projects and making sure that things get done. If you can’t get
others to turn things over to you on time … constantly have to
play catch-up or stay late … or feel you can’t ask others for help,
you need to learn the art of delegation without authority!
Communication Essentials: The Top 10 Email Dos
and Don’ts
If you’ve ever had something you’ve written in an email
misunderstood or misinterpreted, you know what a disaster it can
be! It’s essential that you’re sending the right message. Join us for
a session that’s as fun as it is informative, from hilarious bad
examples to the things you’d never think to look for … but can
really make a difference!
From Dollars to Donuts – The Keys to Dealing With
Vendors and Suppliers
Working with vendors and suppliers can be tricky. You have to have
strong negotiation skills … keep expert records on price, quality,
and service … and develop great relationships with the vendors and
suppliers you depend on most. Make sure you remain firm and
professional, whether handling negotiations or dealing with those
who overpromise and underdeliver!
How to Stop “Office Politics” in Its Tracks
Unless you’re in an office of two and never talk to anyone but your
boss, you’ve probably had a run-in with office politics. People want
to gossip, struggle for their own piece of turf, even backstab
coworkers. It’s not fun, it’s not healthy, and you need to be above
it all! Discover the tools you can use to disengage from negative
behaviors, and to build strong, positive, and professional
relationships across departmental lines.
TRACK TWO:
Image Management: Presenting Your Best Side to
the World
How you present yourself reflects on you, your boss – your entire
company. Make sure your image is strong and confident! We’ll help
you let your inner light shine through and show you how the right
attitude fosters an atmosphere of respect. When you look and feel
professional and poised, you gain an aura of confidence – and you
enhance your credibility!
Setting Boundaries: Calm, Confident, and Assertive
Communication
You want to be liked at work, helpful, a team player. But that
doesn’t give others license to take advantage of you! If you’re not
being taken seriously, get railroaded into tasks or projects that
aren’t your job but you can’t say “no,” or if people just don’t seem
to listen … this session is for you. Discover how to make others
see you as the strong, confident individual you are!
Creating the Perfect Admin/Boss Team
There are few things more satisfying than being a trusted and
valued partner with your boss – whether you work for one person
or a dozen. Learn how to understand your boss’s goals and
objectives … develop strengths that complement your supervisor’s
and enhance your working relationship … or even save a failing
relationship if you and your boss aren’t communicating clearly!
Emotional Intelligence – The Superhero Skill That
Lets You Work Well With Everyone
Sometimes the hardest thing about your job isn’t your task list –
it’s the people! Fortunately, there’s a way that you can make that
pain, stress, and frustration go away: emotional intelligence. Learn
how EI can help you build relationships, gain respect, project
confidence, enhance your credibility … and talk with everybody,
no matter what their positions or personalities!
Closing Session:
Living Your Life to the Fullest – and
Enjoying Every Minute
When life gets hectic, it’s easy to get
distracted and overwhelmed – and when
it’s not, it’s easy to get into a rut! It’s
time for some fresh, fun ideas on how to
maintain a healthy balance between your
job and everything else that matters in
your life. You’ll be able to use the things
you love to stay motivated and upbeat, no
matter what’s going on around you. Plus,
you’ll learn some amazing stress-relieving
techniques you can use to take a step
back, refocus, and reenergize … in a
matter of minutes!
