The Facilitators
Melanie Jones
Chief of Staff Expert Co-Facilitator
Matt Mason
AI & Technology Strategist · Co-Facilitator
The Chiefs of Staff who survive the next 18 months won't be the smartest in the room. They'll be the ones who learned how to design, deploy, and oversee AI systems that multiply their impact and value.
The real shift
By the end of six weeks, you won't just "know AI." You'll be the person designing the systems your executive team depends on.
Before
After
The gap between the operators who thrive in the future and those who will struggle isn't talent. It's not work ethic. It's one decision — to learn how to build the systems before the system makes you irrelevant.
Stop being the bottleneck.
Build the system. Multiply your impact.
Every report you compile manually, every brief you write from scratch, every meeting summary you format by hand — that's time you're not spending on the work that actually requires you. This program builds the infrastructure that handles the volume so you can own the strategy.
Choose Your Track
Select the track that fits your timeline, budget, and level of support needed.
Space is limited to ensure high touch support. This will sell out quickly! Six weeks of live implementation sessions with Melanie, a Chief of Staff expert, and Matt Mason, AI and technology strategist and the co-facilitator who will train and build the automations with you, and a cohort of CoS operators at your level. You don't just learn it, you leave with it running.
The full 6-week curriculum on your schedule. Every framework, prompt, and workflow — built to implement without live support. For the operator who finishes what they start.
A live, active community built for Chiefs of Staff who know AI is changing their role — and want the right room to stay ahead of it.
We build your AI stack and automation workflows for you — customized to your role, your exec, and your company's exact tools. You brief us. We build. You run it.

Common Questions
Am I going to fall behind if I don't do this now?
That's not a scare tactic — it's the market reality. AI agents are already handling scheduling, summarizing, drafting, and reporting. The CoS who can build and direct these systems has a structural advantage over the one who can't. That gap is widening every quarter. The best time to build this fluency was a year ago. The second best time is now.
How exactly does the 6-week cohort work — what's the time commitment?
Each week follows the same rhythm: before the live session, you watch the training video at your own pace — structured walkthroughs and implementation frameworks. Then you join a live implementation session where you build the week's system in your actual tools, with Melanie, Chief of Staff expert, and Matt Mason, our AI and technology strategist and co-facilitator, in the room. After the session, you have a full week to implement in your real work environment — running the automation, testing the workflow, using the templates with your actual exec. At the start of the next session, you bring what worked, what broke, and what questions came up. We troubleshoot together and move forward. You're never left to figure it out alone between sessions.
Do I need to be technical to get value from this?
No. Zero coding, ever. Claude Cowork is built for non-technical operators — if you can write an email, you can use it. In the cohort, Matt Mason, our AI and technology strategist and co-facilitator, is in every session specifically so that when something isn't working in your setup or your workflow needs a custom approach, you're not stuck. You brief him. He solves it. You keep moving.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes — and most do. The cohort costs less than one week of a CoS salary at most Series B companies. If you reclaim 10 hours a week, it pays for itself in under two weeks. Most companies approve professional development like this without a second conversation. That said, we'd encourage you to secure your spot first and seek reimbursement after — waiting on a formal approval process risks losing your seat entirely, and cohort spots don't hold.
What tools do I need before I start?
Claude Pro or Claude Max ($20–$100/mo depending on tier) and Google Workspace — that's it. Everything is built inside Claude Cowork, so there's no third-party tool stack to configure or pay for separately. We'll send you a setup checklist before the program starts, and Module 1 covers the full setup live so you're never on your own figuring it out.
Who are the facilitators?
The program is led by two people who bring very different — and very complementary — expertise. Melanie Jones is the founder of Elevation Chief of Staff Training and The Chief of Staff Coach™. She has recruited, trained, and coached 700+ chiefs of staff at Series A through growth-stage companies, and she built this program because the CoS professionals using AI well were operating in an entirely different tier. Matt Mason is an AI and technology strategist who consults companies on implementing AI workflows that let lean teams move at the speed of much larger organizations. His two-decade career spans Chief Content Officer at BitTorrent, CMO of Kraken, Studio Head at Sony Pictures Entertainment's innovation lab, and employee #1 at a ConsenSys-backed venture that raised $37M — and he's the reason non-technical people can build technical things in this program.

Adjust the sliders below to see exactly how fast this program pays for itself — based on your salary and the hours you reclaim each week. You can share this with your company to help justify reimbursement.
Based on estimated hours reclaimed. Actual results vary by role, implementation pace, and tool adoption.
The one who doesn't becomes a liability. That's not a prediction — it's already happening at companies like yours. This program is how you make sure you're on the right side of that line.
