Experience

I WORK WITH A VARIETY OF CLIENTS - FROM NEW TO SEASONED PROFESSIONALS

I’ve helped administrative assistants master soft skills and leadership skills that lead to more satisfaction, influence and recognition at work.

I’ve also helped executives approach productivity strategically and realize the full potential of support staff. That’s my mission. I’m not one to toot my horn, so I’ll let them tell you what it was like to work with me.

Hi Debbie,

First let me say thank you – thank you for meeting with these amazing admins in our sales organization.

they approach their work and their managers/executives. So again, thank you so much.

Thanks so much for your guidance, I think your training is even beyond helpful, I have started to revalue

myself. :)   Now I know that in order to succeed in an interview, I have to be proud of myself first!

Thanks Debbie!

I will use your notes/questions as my study guide, and hopefully I can knock down at least one offer.

haha... Will keep you posted.

Later, she then connected me with an opportunity that turned into an amazing job offer! If you need to

jumpstart your career with someone who is genuine, very knowledgeable and just a wonderful human

"I had an awesome 'pick-your-brain' conversation with Debbie last week. Let me tell you she is a powerhouse of information/advice. I had a situation I needed an unbiased 3rd party point of view and she gave me her spin on things and my problem is solved. I strongly suggest other EA's, PA's and AA's swing by her website and check out her offerings. It's well worth it."

"…thank you for the excellent and useful information on strategies for mastering your executive’s calendar.  I have been an Executive Assistant to the President and CEO of our organization for 10 years… have found myself overwhelmed and defeated when I look back at the end of the day consumed by the calendar.  Thanks to your workshop I am encouraged to take measurable and realistic steps to gaining a better sense of control over my day and my executive’s calendar!"

Debbie shares her story of stepping out of her comfort zone as she weaves in critical tips on how she succeeded by being all in.

"I was floored by all that Debbie juggled and accomplished over her career. I had no idea how much CEOs rely on their executive assistants to make sure they can do an amazing job, and it was clear that she played a significant role in her CEO's success. Even more, I was blown away by her passion for developing other people in her field. The skills and tools she developed over the years aren't just valuable for other EAs. They're essential success skills for anyone who has a demanding corporate job or a business to run."

"Debbie has written a remarkably insightful book that reveals the secrets of becoming a true business partner to any leader who manages teams or companies. Her lessons shared throughout the book will help administrative professionals and their managers think more strategically. This book should be 101 in every company where a senior leader is looking to hire an EA who can think strategically and tactically, connect with people, think three steps ahead, and be caring."

"Just wanted to get in touch and thank you. You were truly wonderful and your ability to present important information and “life in the day of an Administrative Professional” type lessons in such an engaging manner were amazing!  What you had to say inspired and impacted each and every one of us in some very important and meaningful ways and I was fortunate to have been there to hear you speak!"

"The Office Rockstar Playbook is a page-turner. Debbie gives the reader an inside look at the world of CEO support, including the good, the bad, and the ugly of a stellar 26-year career. Debbie’s writing made me feel as if she was talking to me one-on-one. The book is a wealth of information that can be beneficial to executive assistants (EAs), whether new or experienced. Debbie condensed this information into sixteen chapters, yet it speaks volumes. This book would also be beneficial to CEOs in gaining a better understanding of the day-to-day duties of their EA."
