Emily Sander, Founder + CEO + Executive Leadership Coach at Next Level Coaching joins us to unpack one of the most fundamental tensions in the Chief of Staff role: when to zoom out for strategy and when to dive into operations.

Drawing from her own experience running both a subsidiary and the Chief of Staff function simultaneously, Emily shares tactical frameworks for lifting yourself out of the weeds, communicating your strategic impact, and knowing when to switch hats—sometimes in the same meeting.

Plus: why the question "who can help me?" might be more important than "how can I do more?"
