Meet Your Host

Why I'm Hosting This

I've spent years leading across staff and technology-operations roles, partnering with high-profile companies and complex teams. I care deeply about helping people do this work with confidence, because YOUR role can be powerful… and also wildly misunderstood.

This workshop is designed to create meaningful opportunities for follow-up conversations, meaning: if we're a fit to work together more closely, you'll have the opportunity to explore that.

No pressure. Just clarity.

What's Happening

Two Events. One Day.
Built to Move You Forward.

A practical workshop in the morning, an intentional dinner in the evening. Each stands alone, together, they're the full experience.

10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Half-Day Interactive Workshop

This is not a sit-and-listen session. We'll work. We will work in AI and see what it looks like in real life, then layer in how AI can help you operate with more clarity, speed, and influence.

You'll learn how to:

Understand how to use AI to up-level my job search
Use AI to streamline planning, comms, and execution, without losing your voice or judgment
Build systems that help you anticipate needs, manage priorities, and drive outcomes
Translate "being helpful" into being indispensable

Practical Frameworks

Tools you can apply immediately, not theory.

Guided Exercises

Real scenarios, real work, real outcomes.

Peer Learning

Space for questions, discussion, and connection.

What You'll Walk Away With

This workshop is built around impact, not information overload. Here's what changes after you attend.

A practical AI adoption framework you can apply on Monday morning

No theory, no hype. Leave with a structured approach to integrating AI into your workflow that's ready to use the moment you're back at your desk.

Real-world prompts and workflows tailored to the Chief of Staff role

Not generic AI tips, prompts, and systems designed around the specific demands of CoS work: briefings, stakeholder comms, strategic planning, and executive preparation. Practical tools you'll actually use.

Tools to manage stress, regulation, and executive presence in high-stakes settings

You'll leave with concrete strategies for staying grounded, regulated, and credible in the moments that matter most, when the stakes are highest, and all eyes are on you.

A peer network of senior operators navigating the same challenges

This room is curated. Everyone here is doing high-stakes, strategic, cross-functional work, and facing the same invisible pressures. Leave with relationships that go beyond LinkedIn, built on genuine shared context.

VIP only: A private coaching hour and an exclusive preview of Book 2 VIP

VIP attendees receive a dedicated 90-minute private coaching session after the workshop, plus an exclusive early peek at Book 2 before it's available anywhere else. The deepest access, reserved for the most committed operators in the room.

What Leaders Are Saying

I have just recently had the pleasure of working with Anne Marie. All that I can say is that I am such a lucky individual to have been given this opportunity to know and work with her. I have learned so much from Anne Marie as Chief of Staff. She has stepped into this role and shown us how it is done. She is a great collaborator and always willing to lend a hand to make each individual and the business. Every leader, aspiring business manager and chief of staff needs to have an experience with Anne Marie.
