C-suite Executive Assistants + Teams

I spent 28 years as a top-performing, C-suite Executive Assistant. I’ve supported some of the most game-changing CEOs in business. As such, I am able to understand the unique needs and expectations of Executive Assistants and CEOs and can quickly identify and remedy gaps in communication, working styles, and whether or not an EA/Exec partnership will or won’t work. From there I help create seamless processes, communication cadence, and goals clarity and execution expectations. Additionally, highly communicative, aligned, and effective EA Teams are the “secret sauce” of most businesses. Effective EA teams allow Execs time, intention, and headspace to manage effectively, stay in the loop, and ideate on the things that help grow and scale the business or its products. If your EA/Exec partnerships and EA teams aren’t operating optimally and seamlessly, that’s when you contact me.

Startup and First-time CEOs

I am the “CEO Whisperer” leveraged by newbie CEOs trying to figure it all out. I help them focus on staffing and scale, vetting and hiring their inaugural leadership team, bringing on a comprehensively-skilled Executive Assistant (future Chief of Staff), integrating wholly equitable practices and creating the MVP version of processes and teams to maximize seed or Series A capital, reduce burn rate, recruit (and terminate) quickly and thoughtfully, and operate efficiently and effectively while making time to preserve their physical and emotional health.

EA-to-Chief of Staff Transition

I specialize in coaching newbie Chiefs of Staff and provide training and mentorship for top-performing C-suite Executive Assistants transitioning into the Level One Chief of Staff role. I believe the very best candidate for the Level One Chief of Staff role is a high-performing, experienced, and passionate C-suite EA who has likely already developed the network, internal/external relationships, and Exec-level business acumen necessary to operate as a peer and force multiplier for the CEO and leadership team.

New Chiefs of Staff (Levels One + Two)

I offer coaching and mentorship for newbie Chiefs of Staff needing additional support to gain the respect of their Execs, clarify processes, manage projects and teams effectively, and increase their social cred throughout the organization while maintaining their “Switzerland status.”

Professional Development + Entrepreneurship Coaching

I love creating new entrepreneurs. I believe that once you’ve achieved a majority of your professional development objectives, entrepreneurship is the next frontier. Preparing to launch and run your first business is a process that makes you an incredible individual contributor should your business begin as a “side hustle.” Often, the side hustle provides a backup plan in a tenuous market and could eventually become a primary source of income once it’s profitable and viable as a stand-alone business.
