Are you interested in 1:1 Chief of Staff advisory and coaching?
I've been a Chief of Staff; I know how demanding it can be. It requires excellent judgement, discretion, and strategic thinking. It’s a very human role (although GenAI is undoubtedly changing it - I can help with that, too).
Whether you’re planning to become a Chief of Staff, or you’re in the role already and you sense you could have more mastery of the role and more personal satisfaction and growth, I can help you sharpen your impact, navigate challenges with confidence, and build a career and legacy that feels successful and sustainable.
How would it feel to step into your role with renewed confidence?
If you’re a sitting Chief of Staff, there's always time and space to reset with purpose - I know because I’ve done it myself. If you’re an aspiring Chief of Staff, you probably want to land on day one feeling ready.
To that end, you want your own thought partner - or, dare I say, your own temporary Chief of Staff - and I’d love to work with you. I’ve lived this role; I know its rewards and its challenges. That’s why I created a 1:1 programme designed exclusively for Chiefs of Staff, tailored to the unique demands of the job.
If you'd like to explore how I can support you in achieving your goals and feeling good doing so, book a free call.
Are you a purpose-driven, multi-faceted Chief of Staff who wants to build clarity, confidence, and lasting impact into your role?

My advisory and coaching programmes can help you get these results and more
-
This one is ultra important. I appreciate it’s hard to make time for your own ‘self care’, but we’ll talk about why it matters and equip you to prioritise it.
-
It’s not just for CEOs and statesmen. Gravitas is a superpower that will help you influence, communicate and lead. And it can be learned!
-
This role isn’t just about the soft skills - you may need to hone your analysis and synthesis muscle too. We’ll make sure you’re confident in all the key areas, and that you know how to make AI work for you.
-
Clarity about your role, but just as importantly, clarity about yourself. This is the foundation that everything else builds on.
Sound good? I’d love to chat through it with you. This is the programme I wish I’d had when I was starting out.
Invest in your growth through Chiefly advisory and coaching services. My programmes can be arranged privately or by your organisation.

About me
Helping Chiefs of Staff excel with calm and confidence
I've been where you are - in a prestigious role, yet sometimes operating out of fear, or at least a lack of conviction. As a Chief of Staff, it’s common to find yourself overthinking, too attached to the role, and without a natural support network in the organisation.
I figured things out in the end, and learned a lot. I also proved what I’d always suspected: you don’t have to be a company insider to be a great Chief of Staff. However, I wasted energy because I didn’t know how to create my own calmness. I agonised over little things because I didn’t know what really mattered. And once I was in that high-stress state, I found it very difficult to get out of it - which made doing the complex, high-stakes work even harder.
I think of the Chief of Staff role as having three main challenges: interpersonal, intellectual and intrinsic, so I designed my programmes around them. The best part is that they’re all within your control. I’d love to partner with you to master them.
