What you'll learn

Week 1

Building a base with your principal

Building a strong trusted relationship with your principal is the foundation of a successful Chief of Staff career. We’ll give you actionable strategies to strengthen your relationship, show you how to get early wins, and define your constantly evolving role.

Week 2

Understanding & Communicating your purpose

Highly focused monthly roundtable sessions organized around business, operational, and product challenges. Dedicated pods give members exposure to new people, companies and opinions on their most relevant business needs.

Week 3

Learning how to Operate

Succeeding as a Chief of Staff requires a strong awareness of what’s going on across the organization and an understanding of where your skills and time are best leveraged. We’ll share mental models and frameworks to help you build your CoS operating portfolio and get your Exec team working well together.

Week 4

Getting to steady state

Ambiguity in your current performance and future career path can kill productivity and morale. Learn from other Chiefs of Staff how to measure performance and how to successfully level up in the role or navigate to a new position.

What Chiefs of Staff are saying

The mental models and frameworks were fantastic! Having a practical resource that I can go back to is really helpful. It was also great to hear about the experiences of more seasoned CoS' -- I found that to be particularly helpful for both new insights, and validation on my approaches/thinking.

Tangible products to take away from these sessions were very useful. While great to have the “think big” conversations, it was also very nice to be able to walk away and come BACK to a real template or written framework to guide/reference.
