Who This Is For

Built for CoS operators who are done being buried in logistics.


You're in the role

Current Chiefs of Staff at Series A–C companies who want to operate at a fundamentally higher level. You know your work. You're missing the system.

You're aiming for the role

Senior operators, EAs, and project leads positioning for their first CoS seat. Enter AI-fluent, not AI-curious — and signal that on day one.

The Curriculum

Six weeks. Multiple systems built.

Every session — recorded video + live workshop — ends with something real running in your stack. Not a plan. A system.

📅
How the Weeks Work

Complete your self-paced training video on your own schedule during the week, then join the live implementation session every Tuesday at 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm BST to build in your actual tools with expert guidance. Next cohort starts the week of May 4.

Week 1 · Module 1
Platform Mastery & Your Operating Foundation
Foundation

Stop thinking like a user. Start thinking like a systems architect. We rewire how CoS operators see Claude Cowork — not as a chatbot, but as a platform that can act, not just respond. You'll set up fully and run your first real workflows before the session ends.

  • Understand Cowork's three modes and when to use each
  • Set up Artifacts, Projects, and the permission model — so your work compounds across sessions
  • Apply the five-element prompt framework to produce principal-ready output
  • Build your Automation Roadmap: your top automatable hours, prioritized

Week 2 · Module 2
Intelligence Infrastructure: Context, Projects & Prompt Mastery
Context + Setup

Without context infrastructure, you re-explain yourself every session. This week builds the three-layer system — Global Instructions, Project Instructions, and CLAUDE.md — so Cowork already knows you, your CEO, and your org before you type a word.

  • Build Global Instructions that improve every future session automatically
  • Set up the five projects every CoS needs: Board Prep, CEO Comms, Hiring, Weekly Ops, Strategic Initiatives
  • Build stakeholder profiles for your full relationship map
  • Write skill-quality prompts — precise enough to run without you in the room

Week 3 · Module 3
Connected Tools, Research & Data Intelligence
Tools + Research

Matt, our AI and technology strategist and co-facilitator, leads this session. This is where Cowork stops working with files and starts working with your entire world. Connect your tools and run the cross-system workflows that used to require four open tabs and an hour of copy-paste.

  • Connect Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion, and project trackers via Cowork's connector layer
  • Run the Morning OS: your full daily briefing in one prompt
  • Build the CEO Context Packet — decisions, risks, and what the CEO needs to know, every Monday
  • Analyze real spreadsheet data and produce executive narratives without a data analyst

Week 4 · Module 4
Meeting Operations, Executive Communications & Hiring
Comms + Meetings

CoSs support 15–25 meetings a week. This module builds the full meeting lifecycle — prep, processing, follow-up — and covers every executive communications type, sourced from real data and drafted in your CEO's voice. Plus the hiring and onboarding workflows that define a high-leverage CoS.

  • Build the full meeting lifecycle: external prep brief, transcript processing, post-meeting follow-up
  • Create your CEO's voice document — the artifact that calibrates every future draft automatically
  • Source-connected comms: weekly updates, board briefs, OKR narratives — from real data, not blank pages
  • JD creation, structured evaluation frameworks, and 30/60/90-day onboarding plans

Week 5 · Module 5
Workflow Design, Skills & Your Automation System
Skills + Automation

Everything you've built so far, converted into one-click Skills and scheduled to run without you. You wake up. Your morning briefing is in your inbox. Your CEO's context packet is ready. The meetings on your calendar already have prep briefs. You didn't do any of it.

  • Design workflows from scratch using the IPO framework (Inputs → Process → Outputs)
  • Convert your best workflows into Skills — saved, one-click, reusable
  • Schedule 4 core automations: Morning OS, CEO Context Packet, meeting prep chain, weekly digest
  • Board prep end-to-end: 3 hours → 30 minutes, getting faster every quarter

5+ Custom Skills + 4 Scheduled Automations + AI Operating System
Week 6 · Module 6
Scale, Org Leadership & Your AI Operating System
Leadership + Scale

You've built the system. Now you lead the org through it. The CoS has the cross-functional visibility, executive trust, and — after this program — the technical fluency to drive company-wide AI adoption. This capstone session shows you how.

  • Run a departmental AI audit — a prioritized opportunity matrix for every function
  • Draft your company's AI policy and resistance playbook for leadership buy-in
  • Package your personal Skills for org-wide distribution
  • Present your AI Operating System doc + 90-day roadmap as the course capstone

What's Included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Every element is here because it makes the thing it's attached to work better. No filler. No added-value fluff.

6 Live Implementation Workshops

Capped at 12 students. Every Tuesday at 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm BST, starting the week of May 4. You watch the pre-recorded training video at your own pace during the week, then come to the live session and build in your actual tools, with your actual workflows. This isn't a tool demo. You are the demo.

AI Developer Co-Facilitator — Every Session

The thing no other CoS program has. A technical developer in the room for every workshop and every office hour. When something isn't working in your Cowork setup, you get a real answer in real time — not a forum post.

1 Year Free Access to Private Community

Your learning doesn't stop when the cohort ends. The private community includes bi-weekly trainings with guest experts, live workshops, and ongoing updates as AI continues to evolve — so your skills compound long after the program wraps.

Tools & Templates Library

Battle-tested prompts and workflow blueprints organized by CoS use case. Communications, research, synthesis, operations, board prep. Built specifically for this role, tested in real CoS stacks.

Private Cohort + Alumni Community

Your cohort of 12 operators, plus every alumni cohort before you. The network that compounds — when one person finds something useful, they share it. Access never expires.

The math is simple.

This isn't a productivity gain. It's capacity recovery.

A Chief of Staff earning $150K represents roughly $72 per hour of leadership capacity.

Reclaiming 10 hours per week through AI-powered systems returns ~$720 of capacity every week.

At that rate, the $3,000 investment is recovered in about four weeks — and the systems continue paying dividends indefinitely.

Questions

Everything you're wondering about.


Do I need to be technical?

No. The expert AI developer and co-facilitator exists precisely for this. When your Cowork setup isn't behaving as expected or your workflow is producing inconsistent output, you have a technical expert in the room — not a forum post. The hard part of automation is seeing your workflows clearly, which is exactly what CoS operators are trained to do.

What if I miss a live session?

All sessions are recorded and available in the course portal. Office hours recordings are also saved. That said — the live sessions are where you get your specific stack built and unblocked. We strongly recommend attending live when possible.

What tools will I need?

Claude Pro or Claude Max ($20–$100/mo depending on tier) and Google Workspace — that's it. Everything is built inside Claude Cowork. We walk through setup in Week 1 / Module 1 and Matt, our AI and technology strategist, is there to troubleshoot any setup issues live.

Can my company pay for this?

Yes — most companies reimburse this as professional development. A CoS reclaiming 10 hours per week at a $120K salary recovers the $3,000 within approximately 4–5 weeks of reclaimed capacity. Most companies approve this without a second conversation.

When does the next cohort start?

The next cohort starts the week of May 4. Live implementation sessions run every Tuesday at 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm BST for six weeks. You'll complete your self-paced training video at your own pace during the week, then join the live Tuesday session to build. Seats are limited to 12 — apply now to secure your spot. If the cohort is full, you'll be placed on the waitlist for the next one.
