Description

Chief of Staff is all the “buzz” right now, but this title can mean a lot of different things depending on the industry, organization, company size and business goals. In partnership with Executive Leadership Coach and former Executive Assistant-turned-Chief of Staff, Julia Quijano, we’ve designed an e-course for strategic Executive Assistants and administrative support professionals looking to build upon their administrative foundation and level up as business leaders and strategic partners. We’ll cover everything from critical thinking and goal planning to leadership and project management. By the end of the course, you'll be able to differentiate between a strategic Executive Assistant role and a Chief of Staff position. You'll be ready to tackle any Chief of Staff scenario that comes your way and be prepared to test and apply your Chief of Staff knowledge. Plus, you'll be equipped to build your resume and Chief of Staff experience starting within your current role! This is a slightly condensed version of our full course that we offer on our website. If you’d like the opportunity to dive deeper into the material, you can purchase the full course on our website which includes assessments, assignments, quizzes and case studies allowing you to further work through and apply the concepts taught in the course.
