TESTIMONIALS

“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.”

“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.”

“The Office Rockstar Playbook is an incredibly well-written book for all levels of administrative professionals. This book is a Bible we all need to have at our desk. Debbie talks in detail about extending far and beyond being an administrative professional; she focuses on being a true business partner. She’s holding our hands on this journey which is so close to her heart! The book is hilarious, and the tricks and tips Debbie has openly shared are simply amazing. Besides the book, I highly recommend Debbie as a mentor. She is MAGICAL!”

“After reading The Office Rockstar Playbook, I sat down with my CEO and showed him the book. Not only did it validate my working style, it also validated my value as a leader on his executive team. Administrative professionals and executives alike will gain insights, knowledge, and a new perspective of the value of a true strategic partnership when both choose to rise to the occasion. Whether you’re an administrative veteran or have just landed your first support role, do yourself a favor and read this book. Run – don’t walk – your fingers to your keyboard and order your copy today!”

“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.”

“I could not put this book down. Debbie shares so many great strategies and stories that are relevant, inspiring, and showcase what a true leader should do. Every executive and administrative professional should read it, as it maps out how to perform at the highest level while being a true strategic partner to our leader. Her book will become a go-to manual for assistants around the world.”

“The Office Rockstar Playbook is a story of administrative excellence at its best!

“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!”

“…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!”
