What Nova students are saying: 

"Currently enrolled in the program and it's so thoughtfully crafted. It's given me a fresh set of eyes on my skills and where I need to grow."

"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."

"I just finished the first module of this online Chief of Staff Course developed by Maggie Olson and I highly recommend it to my fellow Executive Assistants. If your career goals include CoS, this course will help you develop an understanding of the role and encourage you to reflect on your skills and experience to focus on areas of improvement. This role brings so much to an organization and this course is designed to understand what the role is and what it isn't. Highly recommend!!"
