Course overview

This intensive two-day programme equips Executive Assistants with the advanced competencies needed to step into a Chief of Staff role — becoming a true strategic business partner to C-Suite Executives.

Across 8 structured modules, participants explore the full scope of the Chief of Staff function: from strategy and organisational culture, to board management, change leadership, emotional intelligence, and soft power negotiation. Competencies are benchmarked against the internationally recognised SHL ‘Great Eight Competencies’ framework, giving delegates a clear picture of their professional standing and development areas.

Designed for ambitious EAs who want to increase their influence, take ownership of high-level projects, and operate with greater confidence at the most senior levels of an organisation, this programme bridges the gap between exceptional support and genuine executive-level leadership.
