Elevating Administrative Excellence Globally

“It is my pleasure to recommend Joanne Linden and her firm, AdminUniverse, for their exceptional services in executive recruitment and administrative placement. If you are looking for a recruiter who specializes in the "gold standard" of administrative support, I cannot recommend Joanne Linden highly enough.“

 “I highly recommend Joanne Linden of AdminUniverse to any organization seeking a reliable and results-oriented recruiting partner. Her commitment to excellence and client satisfaction makes her service an outstanding choice for all recruiting needs.”

“I first met Joanne when she delivered an outstanding presentation to my Vistage group. Until that moment, I hadn’t fully realized how invaluable an executive assistant could be to me. Joanne's insights truly opened my eyes to the potential impact of having the right support. Thanks to Joanne’s expertise, I was able to find an assistant who not only met my needs but exceeded my expectations, leading to a successful and long-term relationship with my assistant.“

Joanne has a wonderful way of interacting and making everyone feel comfortable to participate. I felt a warm welcome in each class. I found Joanne’s positive upbeat style to be very helpful as we moved through each class and engaged in groups. I found the course to be very thought provoking with a lot of really good information applicable to my job and really life in general.

“Thank you, Joanne, for taking the time and providing the workshops. I’ve learned the importance of organization and communication with my manager is key to a successful business relationship. I have also learned that investing in myself is worth it and I will continue to set goals for success. I have learned that negative criticism does not have to be interpreted or accepted negatively, I represent my manager and being professional is important, and communication with my manager is key.”

“Joanne kept the class lively, fun and right on target with the needs of the group. She was well-prepared and a wonderful teacher. I highly recommend this class to all admins who want to improve themselves!”

“Joanne Linden is an incredible source of professional inspiration. Since attending her Star Achievement courses, I have gone from zero interest in career development to facilitating Administrative Professional trainings.”

“What started out as an end goal, turned into another way to look at the profession I have chosen for my livelihood.  The tools presented and valuable insight from those in my class have given me much food for thought, confirmed my conviction that I am doing the right thing and a different window to look through. While this series of classes is over, the connection with Joanne will remain; as she is a great instructor and valued mentor.”

“I had the opportunity to invite Joanne to deliver the Star Achievement training and certification to my Admin Team. We were a group of 14 who gathered around Joanne at the end of 2023. The group formed of Senior Admins and Junior Admins was a perfect fit for our Instructor, Joanne, who shared her knowledge and theoretical explorations of the admin’s role in the Era of AI. Joanne was great at providing the team with her experience and unique background; yet she was open to listening and enhancing the group to think “outside of the box” and thrive out of their comfort zone.
The group took the opportunity to open up to each other and create an exceptional bond that will last and help using the techniques of smart teamwork.“

 “WCA was a great investment into my growth and excellence as an executive professional. The course touches not only on tactile improvements but mindset and confidence tips to empower us to lean into our unique skills and styles.”

“In the WCA class, I learned how to become a strategic partner and avoid being just a partner. Be a gateway, not a gatekeeper; understand the needs, and get engaged in the scope of their business, just to name a few. I have already received very nice compliments about actions I have without them having to ask.“

“I was fortunate enough to attend an amazing class for my professional growth. The course was virtual and held by an OG in EA business - Joanne Linden. Her tenacity to educate lit the learning wick in all the participants, me included.

Coming in, I was not sure what exactly to expect, almost having a fear that I won’t hear anything I haven't heard before, I was wickedly wrong! I undeniably learned radically brilliant and seemingly simple tactics on how to achieve the goal: Become a Strategic EA to my CEO. For me, not only the actions themselves were the “lightbulb” moment, but also the whole fundamentally different approach of thinking about the work that I do.“

“My original goal was to add to my very new toolbox, and I do believe that with the material and knowledge shared I accomplished that goal. Thank you for your help.”

“Thank you, Joanne, for taking the time to bring many new ways of thinking and perspective to our admin roles. Really enjoyed the class.”

 “Loved everything about this course! Thank you so much, Joanne!”

“Group exercises help build teamwork and we got to learn more about each other. Sometimes when we don’t do team events, we become individuals and forget we are a team.”

“Thank you a million billion for your commitment to administration professionals and what we do matters. You planted a seed that sprouts and grows today because you cared. Thank you for your passion and desire to inspire others. I hope to see you in 2024.”

 “Thank you so much! Completing this course has inspired me to keep getting better in my role as an admin. My main takeaways are how to build a strategic partnership with my executive and to set myself up for the future.”
