What could you do with a Chief of Staff in your back pocket?
A great Chief of Staff can tackle any hairy problem
But not every team needs one around full-time — and when a Chief of Staff becomes the 24/7 fixer, it cultivates dependency that can let others off the hook. What if instead you could tap into the power of a Chief of Staff, but for a shorter period of time? Or for a more concentrated scope?
That’s where I’d like to come in and consult. I’ve had the privilege of working with teams across companies of all shapes and sizes; from early stage to publicly-traded, in slow growth and high growth — in other words, I’ve seen a lot.
As a consultant, my approach is shaped by the wisdom (and foibles) of those past experiences and a strong bent for human-centered systems thinking. My superpower is keeping teams oriented on their highest purpose and seeing the next challenge around the corner. Whatever the focus of the engagement, my goal is to pose generative questions, listen for the answers behind the answers, empower decision makers to move forward with confidence, and quickly outline where we want to go.
