Course overview

A Chief of Staff does not just answer questions — it watches what matters and tells you what needs attention. In this class you build a modular system: monitoring modules for email, calendar, documents and finances; preparation modules for meetings and research; and reporting modules that produce a daily brief and a weekly executive summary. You finish with your own blueprint and at least three working modules.

Who this is for

  • Executives, managers, and founders
  • Professionals with high coordination loads
  • Graduates of AI for Everyday Productivity
  • Anyone who ends each week feeling behind on inputs
