The CoS role has become very popular in the last decade but is still widely misunderstood – including by your boss!
Sure 101 OKRs are part of it, but that stuff is easy. The tricky pieces are about 'role scope', ‘implied leadership’, ‘solving Winston Wolfe crisis situations’, and other c-suite ‘dark arts’ nobody teaches you about.
Don't worry I *know* this whole game better than anyone else. Work with me to succeed at the tough parts of the job and help you take the next step towards that VP and ultimately COO type leadership role.

Frequently Asked Questions
Given it is such a senior and critical role it’s amazing there is not more advice and books on the COO role.
That, combined with the fact that every business has a different and rapidly evolving organization challenge, means most COOs and Heads of Ops have little real-world guidance to help them succeed.
Through my coaching you get help and practical support to put in place foundational systems, deal with inevitable people issues and ultimately run the smooth operation you know you can!
