I get it, you’re good at what you do – but are you remarkable? Do you really stand out as “one of the best”? And if you’ve been doing your job for a while now, how do you know if you are that good anymore? Are you relying on your own self-taught skills to make you remarkable? Think about how much has changed in the last five years alone!
The reality is that we learn on the job. We learn as the tasks get sent our way. There isn’t a “manual” on what this job means anymore. Your role role isn’t what it used to be is it? It probably isn’t what it was when you started – and it certainly won’t look like this in 10 years either. Are you keeping up? Are you aware of the changing dynamics to do your job in this day and age?
We often don’t get a lot of opportunity to attend training, to keep our skills cutting edge, or even know how we compare in the marketplace. If you’ve been unfortunate enough to have to look for a job in our current economy, you probably realize that your skills are not enough sometimes. What is going to make you valuable to your current company, and what will make you stand out among a stack of resumes and interviews?
So to celebrate “you”, we are going to talk about the top 10 things you need to do to Make the Leap to Remarkable!

Frequently Asked Questions
Being a remarkable administrative professional today goes far beyond mastering the basics of scheduling, correspondence, and office management. The role has evolved dramatically—driven by technology, hybrid work models, and expanding organizational expectations—and what qualified as exceptional performance a decade ago may now be table stakes. A remarkable admin professional in today's environment combines technical proficiency with strategic thinking, proactive communication, emotional intelligence, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise. They are visible contributors to organizational outcomes, not just task executors. Speaker Rhonda Scharf's webinar Make the Leap to Remarkable offers a self-assessment framework to honestly evaluate where you stand, identifies the top 10 attributes required for professional distinction, and delivers 100+ actionable tips for standing out in a competitive marketplace. Aurora Training Advantage's on-demand webinar is ideal for both new and experienced administrative professionals ready to elevate their professional brand.
Research and practitioner experience consistently point to a set of distinguishing attributes that separate outstanding administrative professionals from those who merely get by. These include: proactive problem-solving rather than waiting for direction; exceptional communication across written, verbal, and digital channels; technical adaptability—staying current with evolving tools and platforms; trustworthiness and discretion in handling sensitive information; strong prioritization under pressure; and the ability to manage up, anticipating executives' needs before being asked. Emotional intelligence—particularly reading interpersonal dynamics and managing relationships across all organizational levels—is increasingly cited as a top differentiator. Self-awareness and a commitment to continuous learning are also critical, since workplace expectations shift faster than ever. Aurora Training Advantage's Make the Leap to Remarkable webinar with Rhonda Scharf identifies the top 10 attributes in detail, helping administrative professionals benchmark their current performance and build a targeted development plan.
Self-assessment is one of the most underutilized tools in professional development, particularly for administrative professionals who have been in their roles for years and may not have regular external benchmarks for their skill set. Honest self-assessment involves examining: Are your technology skills current with what employers expect? Do you understand the evolving expectations for the admin role in a hybrid or remote environment? Are you aware of what the job market demands for your level of experience? Have you received feedback that prompted growth, or have you been coasting on experience? Rhonda Scharf's Make the Leap to Remarkable webinar provides a structured self-assessment tool specifically designed for admin professionals to evaluate their current standing against 2021-and-beyond benchmarks. Aurora Training Advantage offers this on-demand session as a professional reset—helping both new and tenured admin professionals identify where their skills shine and where investment is needed.
Many professionals are unaware that some of the behaviors they've relied on for years now actively undermine their professional reputation—because expectations, communication norms, and workplace culture have shifted significantly. Behaviors to avoid include: oversharing personal information in professional settings; defaulting to email for conversations that require directness or nuance; failing to proofread digital communications; being reactive rather than proactive with leadership needs; and relying on 'that's how we've always done it' thinking in a rapidly changing environment. Workplace politics, gossip, and negativity remain career killers at every level. Making assumptions rather than asking clarifying questions is another common pitfall. Rhonda Scharf's Make the Leap to Remarkable webinar addresses what not to do at work in frank, specific terms—because the rules have changed and many professionals don't realize it. Aurora Training Advantage's session offers this perspective in an engaging, judgment-free format.
Standing out as an administrative professional in a competitive job market requires more than a polished resume—it requires a demonstrable track record of impact, a current skill set, and the ability to articulate your value in business terms. Employers increasingly look for admin professionals who can manage complex calendars and travel logistics while also contributing to process improvement, project coordination, and executive communications. Building a portfolio of accomplishments, pursuing certifications in project management or office administration, developing strong proficiency with collaboration tools, and cultivating a professional network all enhance marketability. During interviews, framing contributions in terms of outcomes—time saved, problems solved, relationships managed—resonates far more than listing tasks performed. Aurora Training Advantage's Make the Leap to Remarkable webinar with Rhonda Scharf is packed with practical strategies for advancing your career, standing out from the competition, and building a professional brand that commands recognition.
