I just completed and enjoyed my journey through the Elevation Chief of Staff certification course. I enjoyed how Melanie was able to capture the duties and responsibilities of a CoS and visualize the importance of a CoS across an organization. Coming from the military industry, I was able to translate my experiences and translate them into the civilian sector. I highly recommend this course for those looking to embark into more strategic roles like a Chief of Staff.

Why did you enroll in the course? To build stronger skills and frameworks to support executives at a higher level and level up my career. Even with my MBA, there are still practical skills I wanted to gain a better understanding of. What’s been your favorite part of the course? Learning from real-world examples in a clear and concise way. I literally binged the course like my favorite tv show! Would you encourage people considering the course to take it? Definitely—it's practical, insightful, and directly applies to the Chief of Staff role. I'm excited to implement what I learned in my role.

I enrolled in the course because I wanted to level up my career as a strategic partner to executive leadership—and the Chief of Staff role felt like the natural next step after 15+ years as an EA. My favorite part of the course was how practical and actionable the content was. It helped me reframe how I approach executive support, operations, and cross-functional leadership. If you're considering the course, I absolutely recommend it. It not only gives you the tools and language to grow into a strategic role, but also provides real guidance on landing a Chief of Staff position and what to prioritize in your first 30, 60, and 90 days. Whether you're transitioning into a Chief of Staff role or just looking to sharpen your strategic edge, it’s a smart investment in your career.

The course was outstanding! Congratulations to Melanie and her team for the excellent organization, the platform, and the incredibly valuable and comprehensive content. I sincerely hope you develop more courses in the C-level area, as I would be delighted to participate. As a Brazilian originally from the south of Brazil and a resident of the United States for the past three years, I am truly pleased to have taken such a unique course—something we do not have back in Brazil. Thank you very much, and my warm regards to all the creators and organizers.

I joined because I wanted to learn more about the Chief of Staff role. As an EA, I knew some of my skills fit, but I wanted a clear map of what the role really looks like and how I can grow into it. My favorite part was the framework. It showed me the different levels of the role in a way that was simple and clear. I also liked the real-life stories that made me think, “Yes, I can do that too.” The course is easy to follow, very real, and helps you see both where you are today and where you can go next. If you’re an EA or thinking about being a CoS, this gives you the confidence and tools to take the next step.

I enrolled in the course to better understand the supportive impact a CoS role could have in a nonprofit organization. I really appreciated the concise but very informative lessons, and the presence of guardrails along the way to ensure the lessons were taking hold! I highly recommend the Chief of Staff course from Elevation, to both individuals seeking a career path as a CoS as well as organizational leaders who want to better understand how to utilize an incredible CoS.

I enrolled as someone currently as a Director of Ops, knowing that I needed to skill up if I was to pursue a Chief of Staff role seriously. I wanted an asynchronous program that I could afford and would feel that the ROI was there. I have nothing against MBA programs, but I didn't want to go down that track due to the time and expense. I looked into other courses, but most require you to be already working as a Chief of Staff to enroll. Elevation's Chief of Staff Training checked the boxes - Melanie and the team would show me the ropes. The Hard Skills module was exactly what I was looking for to beef up my financial acumen and analytical skills and better understand policy and procedure development. This has given me the confidence to start flexing these muscles in my current role, so I'm ready when the opportunity comes to level up!

I enrolled in this course to push my academic boundaries, get uncomfortable and elevate my career. The course is packed with a wealth of information that is not only easy to navigate but also incredibly enlightening about the role and responsibilities of a Chief of Staff. The insights and knowledge gained within the 5 modules are all my favorite. I cannot pick one! I highly recommend this course to anyone in the Executive Assistant field who is looking to elevate their career. The structure, content, and support provided have been exceptional, making the learning experience both enjoyable and highly beneficial. Thank you so much, Melanie and Team, for creating and delivering such a wonderful course. Your dedication and expertise have made a significant impact, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have participated.

I enrolled in the Elevation Chief of Staff course because I wanted to increase my own skills while providing interim executive leadership support. It was also important that I learn more about the CoS role to support my clients, as they explore implementing CoS roles in their nonprofit organizations. The course has hit the mark from a standpoint of being both bite-sized in nature (for consumption) and rich in content and value. I highly recommend the Elevation Chief of Staff training to anyone already in the role, looking to elevate their skillset and offering, and to anyone curious about how the role could benefit their career!

I enrolled in this course to further strengthen my leadership skills and help channel my prior experiences into a new career path that built upon my existing skills. My favorite part of this course is that I could learn in a self-paced asynchronous setting that allowed me to repeat lessons if needed, or go quickly through areas that I already felt confident in. This course helped validate my existing skills while introducing me to additional hard and soft skills that are needed for success in a Chief of Staff Role. I would encourage anyone interested in becoming a Chief of Staff to enroll.

As a seasoned people manager and operations leader, I have been looking for an opportunity to hone my skills to shift into a Chief of Staff role. Elevation CoS was an amazing course loaded with hands-on projects, tools, and self-reflection exercises to help me better understand my zone of genius and how to land my ideal CoS position. It's also great to have a community of peers to connect with and navigate career growth together. Melanie is a magnificent coach with tons of insights and direction to offer via her office hours. I highly recommend Elevation's certification program to level up your CoS skills!
