WHO I AM
My name is Karen Porter. I'm The Administrative Professional Job
Performance and Career Success Coach and founder and president of The Effective
Admin since 2004. I'm also a former administrative professional
who has held positions at lateral and higher levels in companies and
organizations too.
Through The Effective Admin,
I've helped thousands of administrative professionals by providing
practical tips to manage their careers and better perform their current
job duties. These administrative professionals include administrative
assistants, executive assistants, and all titles and levels of admins.
Through The Effective Admin I offer downloadable
informational products on specialized topics for administrative professionals
like you to help you in
your job and career.
The Basic Guide to Goal
Setting for Administrative Professionals is one of
the
products. I include it in my all inclusive self-study training and
development resource package for administrative professionals.
As a former admin myself, I know the confusion and difficulty you
encounter trying to set administrative professional goals. I was once in
your shoes -- and only wish that back then I had a resource, or mentor, to
make this goal-setting task easier.
I didn't!
But now you do; I've created this guide to help you set your goals as an
administrative professional. It's a resource you can use immediately
because it's instantly downloadable.
So if your goals are due to your boss tomorrow, relax -- you can start
working on them in the next five minutes.
Even if you're writing admin job and career goals for yourself and not
your boss, you'll find this goal setting guide for administrative
professionals useful.

WHAT YOUR ADMIN PEERS SAY
ABOUT THE GOAL-SETTING GUIDE
But you don't have to take my word for
it...instead read the
real and
unedited comments from administrative assistants and executive assistants
I've printed below. They've all used this guide for assistance with
setting their goals. And note that they don't JUST talk about how they
liked the goal setting guide but that they also talk about how it helped
them produce RESULTS: their written goals. Here are their comments:

"Your goals
setting publication allowed me to think of my goals from a completely
different perspective and [this] was the first time in 20 years that I
have not stressed over my annual review. I was prepared for it and in
fact, looked forward to it."
Judy Santiago
Executive Assistant
San Antonio, Texas

"Great tool! I purchased the workbook due to
the fact I am with a new company and was asked to write goals for 2009. I
haven't written professional goals in a while and wanted to be sure I was
writing w/some guidance."
Nancy
Executive Assistant

"I purchased Goal Setting for Administrative Professionals because I can use
some help in setting my professional goals. I’ve been an assistant for over
25 years, but I don’t want to feel like I’m too set in my ways. A little
assistance in looking at things from another perspective never hurts.
[The sections about] The Questions that Inspire Goal-Setting and the
Specific Professional Goals were very helpful in providing a new viewpoint
to approaching goal-setting.
I think you’ve done a great job of providing a variety of information needed
by today’s administrative professionals."
Cathey Kuhn
Sr. Administrative Assistant
Marietta, GA |
"I purchased the Admin Goal setting to better improve my own
personal/professional goals. It is helping me think outside the box and
giving me more ideas.
[The section about] Specific Administrative Professional Goals is helping me
add more responsibilities to my current duties, by way of goal setting."
Stephanie Cole
Administrative Assistant
Coppell, TX |

"I
purchased this product because I was preparing for my yearly
evaluation at work, and I was having difficulty determining new goals
and objectives. The information I received was very helpful and I was
able to identify the objectives and goals that I want in my current
position.
I thought it
was very well written and very easy to understand and comprehend.
It
gave me insight into things that I hadn't considered before,
[especially the section about] 7 Things You Need to Know in Order to
Set Professional Goals at Work"
Jackie
Brantley
Administrative Assistant

"The Basic Guide To Goal Setting For Administrative Professionals was
a lifesaver. It helped me set realistic and clearly defined goals.
...My manager asked me to set goals and objectives for the year. The tips
helped me to give careful consideration of setting a goal and trying to
reach a measure that is reasonable yet challenging. I was able to include
the training or developmental initiatives that I felt would assist in my
personal development.
I was so proud of how I lined the goals up with the corporate and division
goals/vision."
Audrey G. Nesbit
Administrative Assistant
Columbia, South Carolina |
"I bought [The Basic Guide to
Goal Setting] because I was doing my annual review and
needed some wording on my goals! The product was
great - exactly what I needed."
Debbie Heckler
Sales Office Manager
Austin, TX |
"I purchased your information
on goals for executive assistants and found it to be very helpful.
My boss asked me to brainstorm goals for myself to be discussed at
my annual performance appraisal. It is difficult to develop goals as
a person in a supportive role with no 'portfolio' of my own.
I found the product to be very useful - the
information helped me to create some meaningful goals that I think
will allow me to contribute to the overall success of my
organization."
Tracy Bond

"I thought the information on goal setting and performance review was
fantastic. It was of great help to me. The tips were usable in my
workplace."
Cheryl Himburg
Administrative Assistant

"I loved this! I found it to be very helpful. Especially the 7 Things
You need to know in order to set professional goals at work. That helped me
begin thinking on the right track."
Jaclyn Mattson
Administrative Support Assistant III
Chico, CA
"The goal setting article was fantastic. I was able to set some
personal goals with my boss for the upcoming year. The goals were ones that
I was able to think about and come up with, then present them to my boss.
They are inline with our company vision and what my boss has set for her own
goals."
Adera
Administrative Secretary
San Diego, CA
"I purchased the Goal Setting materials to help me with writing my individual
development plan for work.
In the Basic Guide to Goal Setting, the section on types of goals was very
helpful. It stimulated my thinking about what I could
consider as goals.
The Results vs. Activities section was informative. I really thought
the whole document was very well put together. It was just the right amount
of information."
