What Nova Students Are Saying:

The Chief of Staff certification is an excellent course for anyone looking to kickstart their career in this (sometimes ambiguous) space. The course provides clarity and definition on the roles and responsibilities of a CoS, along with real-world examples and assignments so the learner can have the invaluable experience of learning by doing. As someone who has both worked in, and hired for these operational roles, I would highly recommend Maggie Olson and her course as a leading example of success in this space. Her approach to the material is accessible and open, making it feel as though you are learning from a mentor, and not simply sitting through lectures.

Karen, CoS, Nova Grad

Completing this course has given me immense confidence and validation that I can do the Chief of Staff job. And has set me up with countless resources to hit the ground running. Thank you!!

Sarah, CoS, Nova Grad

I’m so grateful for the thoroughness and transparency, and the all-encompassing reality of this course. I have no idea how you fit so much into something so manageable, but wowza, is this ever a high-value offering.

Mallory, EA, Nova Grad

This was hands down the best training I’ve ever done. The hands-on work was invaluable, and the take-home templates gave me both the tools and the confidence to pull together a proposal for my executive—by Monday. I didn’t just walk away with ideas; I was able to clearly communicate how I plan to apply what I’ve learned and show exactly what it will look like using several of the templates. The immediate impact was real.

Julie Myles, July 2025 Virtual Cohort Graduate, Senior Executive Assistant to C-suite Leaders at Beam Therapeutics

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your guidance over the last few days. The Nova course was everything I hoped it would be—and more. The format was seamless, the content was incredibly functional, and every piece of material felt immediately useful. I’m walking away with a renewed sense of motivation for my role, which I had been struggling to find. I love being an EA and love the leaders I support, but I’ve been searching for that next step—and after this experience, I feel far more confident in taking it. I’m so grateful for the time and thought you both put into this course. Thank you again!”
