Chief of Staff Coaching
Become the most valuable executive on the leadership team

Being a Chief of Staff is probably one of the loneliest roles. No one truly understands what you do, what your 'lane' is, and whose 'friend' you truly are. I work with Chiefs of Staff as their trusted sounding board, helping them to succeed in the role and work out what comes next.
In order to become a high-value, full-stack Chief of Staff, you need to be able to work effectively across these 5 areas:
Priorities
Translate your principal's vision into strategy and execution (OKRs) and communicate that to the organization in a way that is simple, clear and actionable.
Progress
Track the company's progress towards the most important priorities while creating transparency and public accountabily across the board.
People
Become a strategic partner to the Head of People and solve increasingly complex challenges together as the company scales.
Processes
Turn the dial up on operational excellence by streamlining and simplifying processes that have the highest impact on the organization.
Projects
Pick your 'special projects' wisely so that you can bring the most leverage to your principal as well as grow your own skillset.
