  • Great Conversation!

    I had such a fantastic conversation with Emily on her podcast. The focus on Chiefs of Staff and their very specific needs was a really nice way to focus in tightly on key aspects of Stakeholder Whispering relevant to people in those roles. Emily was a very thorough and thoughtful host!

  • Highly recommended for leadership-focused chiefs-of-staff and their execs and business collaborators

    I am a huge fan of Emily’s podcast — it’s one I’ve listened to for some time, since it’s rather unique in speaking to Chiefs of Staff as LEADERS and not just force-multipliers. I was really excited to guest for Emily and it was a truly lovely experience from start to finish ... this was a no-stress, high-value guest podcast experience. All around, very highly recommended.

Listener Question: How to Request Feedback as a New Chief of Staff
Q: What's the first step to elicit more meaningful feedback from my leadership team?
Start by making your asks specific and tie them to a defined context, such as ongoing leadership meetings, and then progressively add clarity with measurable areas you want feedback on.
Implementing EOS for Aligning Strategic Prioritization and Employee Motivation
Q: And I know that your company uses EOS. For those listeners who might not be familiar with that, can you explain what that is and how TXI uses that to help with prioritization?
EOS is a comprehensive, pragmatic operating system that aligns goals across long-, medium-, and short-term horizons. TXI uses it to cascade annual goals into quarterly rocks, plan at off-sites, conduct weekly leadership check-ins, and maintain accountability while keeping everyone aware of blockers and progress.

Switching Lanes: Finding Your Stride as a Chief of Staff
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and your path to becoming Chief of Staff at Deloitte.

Thriving as a Chief of Staff: Four Quadrants from Entry-Level to Strategic Partner
Q: What role does alignment play in the Chief of Staff journey and how can someone assess if they're in alignment with their principal?
Alignment is driven by serving a clear North Star or principle; if you're not aligned with the principle you serve, you won't stay in sync—regularly check that your actions are in service of that principle and your own growth.
